Sigma-1 receptor (σ 1R) has become a focus point of drug discovery for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. A series of novel 1-phenylethan-1-one O-(2-aminoethyl) oxime derivatives were synthesized. In vitro biological evaluation led to the identification of 1a, 14a, 15d and 16d as the most high-affinity (K i < 4 nmol/L) and selective σ 1R agonists. Among these, 15d, the most metabolically stable derivative exhibited high selectivity for σ 1R in relation to σ 2R and 52 other human targets. In addition to low CYP450 inhibition and induction, 15d also exhibited high brain permeability and excellent oral bioavailability. Importantly, 15d demonstrated effective antipsychotic potency, particularly for alleviating negative symptoms and improving cognitive impairment in experimental animal models, both of which are major challenges for schizophrenia treatment. Moreover, 15d produced no significant extrapyramidal symptoms, exhibiting superior pharmacological profiles in relation to current antipsychotic drugs. Mechanistically, 15d inhibited GSK3β and enhanced prefrontal BDNF expression and excitatory synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons. Collectively, these in vivo proof-of-concept findings provide substantial experimental evidence to demonstrate that modulating σ 1R represents a potential new therapeutic approach for schizophrenia. The novel chemical entity along with its favorable drug-like and pharmacological profile of 15d renders it a promising candidate for treating schizophrenia.

Multimorbidity has emerged as a critical global public health challenge, necessitating effective management strategies. In Heilongjiang Province, a cold north region in China with a high prevalence of multimorbidity, healthcare disparities, uneven resource distribution, and inadequate chronic disease control remain pressing issues. Driven by national policies on family physician contracting and regional demands for chronic disease management, this study established a "hospital-community general practitioner co-management" model utilizing a mobile-based digital platform. This model integrates hospital-based general practitioners into primary care teams to optimize resource allocation and enhance multimorbidity management. The initiative aims to explore pathways for improving healthcare system reform and strengthening the chronic disease prevention framework in the region.
