Chemistry:Ipsapirone

From HandWiki

Ipsapirone (INN, USAN, BAN; developmental code names BAY Q 7821 and TVX Q 7821) is a selective 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist of the arylpiperazine and azapirone families which was under development for the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders but was never marketed.[1][2] It is taken orally.[1]

The drug produces antidepressant-like, anxiolytic-like, and antiaggressive effects in rodents.[2][3] It has been found to increase oxytocin levels in rodents,[4][5][6][7] whereas findings in humans have been mixed.[8][9] Ipsapirone produces adverse effects including vertigo, dizziness, and dysphoria in humans.[10]

Ipsapirone produces 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazine (1-PP), a potent α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, as an active metabolite.[11] However, whereas 1-PP levels with buspirone are 8-fold higher than levels of buspirone itself, 1-PP is only a minor metabolite of ipsapirone constituting 2% of its exposure.[11]

Ipsapirone was first described in the scientific literature by 1984.[12][13] It was developed by Bayer.[1] The drug reached phase 3 clinical trials for treatment of major depressive disorder prior to the discontinuation of its development in 1997.[1] It was also studied for treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.[14]
