Chemistry:Paliroden
Paliroden (INN; developmental code names SR-57667 and SR-57667B) is a drug which was under development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease but was never marketed.[1][2] It is taken orally.[1] The exact mechanism of action of the drug does not appear to have been disclosed,[1] but it has been found to stimulate neurogenesis in preclinical research.[3] It was under development by sanofi-aventis.[1] Paliroden reached phase 2 clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease prior to the discontinuation of its development in 2007.[1][2] It is an analogue and follow-on drug of xaliproden (SR-57746; SR-57746A), which is a serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist and neurogenesis stimulant that reached phase 3 trials for similar indications but also did not complete development.[4]

The most advanced drug, xaliproden (SR-57746A, Xaprila; sanofi), a 5-HT1A agonist and stimulator of endogenous neurotrophin synthesis, did not meet the cognition endpoints in Phase III trials in AD patients, which applies also to paliroden (SR-57667B; with a biphenyl instead of the β-naphtyl in xaliproden; sanofi, [204]). The lessons learnt from the xaliproden clinical trials were discussed [205]. The biological characterization was reviewed [206].".
