Chemistry:RO5256390

From HandWiki

RO5256390 or RO-5256390 is a drug developed by Hoffmann-La Roche which acts as an agonist for the trace amine associated receptor 1 (TAAR1).[1][2] It is a full agonist of the rat, cynomolgus monkey, and human TAAR1, but a partial agonist of the mouse TAAR1.[1][2]

Actions

RO5256390 is a full agonist of the rat, cynomolgus monkey, and human TAAR1, but a high-efficacy partial agonist of the mouse TAAR1.[1][2]

Effects

RO5256390 has been found to suppress the firing rates of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic neurons and dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) serotonergic neurons in mouse brain slices ex vivo.[1][2] This effect was absent in slices from TAAR1 knockout mice.[1][2] Similarly, acute RO5256390 suppressed VTA dopaminergic and DRN serotonergic neuronal excitability in rats in vivo, whereas the excitability of locus coeruleus (LC) noradrenergic neurons was unaffected.[3] In contrast with acute exposure however, chronic administration of RO5256390 for 14 days increased the excitability of VTA dopaminergic and DRN serotonergic neurons.[3] The drug has been found to dose-dependently block cocaine-induced inhibition of dopamine clearance (reuptake inhibition) in rat nucleus accumbens (NAc) slices ex vivo whilst having no effect on dopamine clearance by itself.[1][4]

RO5256390 has been found to fully suppress the hyperlocomotion (a psychostimulant-like effect) induced by cocaine in rodents.[1][2] In addition, it dose-dependently inhibited the hyperlocomotion induced by the NMDA receptor antagonists phencyclidine (PCP) and L-687,414.[1][2] RO5256390 is said to produce a brain activity pattern similar to that of the antipsychotic olanzapine in rodents and hence is presumed to have antipsychotic-like properties.[2] In contrast to classical antipsychotics however, RO5256390 did not produce extrapyramidal-like symptoms in rodents and instead could reduce the catalepsy induced by haloperidol.[2] RO5256390 has been found to dose-dependently inhibit cocaine self-administration and context-triggered cocaine-seeking behavior in rodents.[1][5][6]

RO5256390 shows robust aversive and locomotor-suppressing effects in rodents that are dependent on TAAR1 activation.[7] Similar aversive effects have also been observed with other TAAR1 agonists like RO5263397 and RO5166017.[7][8] RO5256390 has been shown to decrease motor hyperactivity, novelty-induced locomotor activity, and induce anxiolytic-like effects in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), a rodent model of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[9] In contrast to the TAAR1 partial agonist RO5263397, RO5256390 did not produce antidepressant-like effects in rodents.[2] Conversely however, both agents produced antidepressant-like effects in monkeys.[2]

RO5256390 has been found to produce pro-cognitive effects in rodents and monkeys.[2][10] It has been shown to strongly suppress rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in rodents.[11] On the other hand, it did not promote wakefulness in rodents.[2] RO5256390 has been shown to block compulsive and binge-like eating behavior in rats.[12] For this reason, it is being investigated as a potential drug to treat binge eating disorder.[12]

History

RO5256390 was first described in the scientific literature by 2013.[2]
