Chemistry:SB-221284

From HandWiki

SB-221284 is a selective serotonin 5-HT2C and 5-HT2B receptor antagonist which is used in scientific research.[1][2][3]

Its affinities (Ki) are 2.2 to 2.5 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, 2.5 to 12.6 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 398 to 550 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (where it is also an antagonist).[2][4][3][5] The drug has 160- to 250-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[1][4][3] It is said to have been the first serotonin 5-HT2C receptor ligand to show 100-fold selectivity over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[6]

SB-221284 has shown anxiolytic-like effects in animals.[1][5][7][8] Conversely, it has been said to be inactive in terms of antidepressant-like, antiobsessional-like, antipanic-like, and sedative effects.[1][8] It also showed no proconvulsant or hyperphagic effects in animals, phenotypes that are notably observed with serotonin 5-HT2C receptor knockout.[3]

The preferential serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) and the serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine have been found to acutely reduce social interaction in rodents.[4] SB-221284 was found to reverse the acute decreases in social interaction produced by mCPP and fluoxetine.[4] The drug has also been found to block mCPP-induced hypolocomotion.[1][5][7][9] Both SB-221284 and the selective serotonin 5-HT2C receptor antagonist SB-242084 have been found to enhance the nucleus accumbens dopamine release and hyperlocomotion induced by NMDA receptor antagonists like phencyclidine (PCP) and dizocilpine (MK-801).[9] Conversely, both drugs had no effect on locomotor activity or dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens by themselves.[9] However, another study reported that SB-221284 by itself did enhance locomotion.[4]

SB-221284 was first described in the scientific literature by 1996.[10][3] It was researched by GlaxoSmithKline as a possible non-sedating anxiolytic and reached the preclinical research stage of development.[5][11][12][3] However, it was found to be a potent inhibitor of a number of human cytochrome P450 enzymes (particularly CYP1A2), which precluded further development of the drug.[1][12][3] Other sources have stated that SB-221284 was not further developed due to "toxicity"[10] and that other drugs were pursued instead as SB-221284 was a "fairly weak" serotonin 5-HT2C receptor antagonist.[6]

"In particular, compounds 41 and 42 demonstrated 160- and 600-fold selectivity over 5- HT2A receptor, respectively. [...] Compounds 41-44 were evaluated for binding at 5-HT2B receptor and displayed modest selectivity. Compound 41 was found to have negligible affinity on a total of 57 different binding sites. 41 was also characterized as a competitive antagonist (pKB= 9.8) in the 5-HT-stimulated PI hydrolysis model of h-5-HT2C receptor activation in HEK-293 cells. Compounds 25, 39-43, 47-49 potently blocked the hypoactivity in rats produced by a standard dose of mCPP after oral administration (ID50 values around 1 mg/kg po). [...] Compounds 39, 41, 47, and 48 were further evaluated in two different models of anxiety in the rat (i.e. the Geller-Seifter Conflict Test and the Social Interaction Test) and were found to have significant anxiolytic activity with no evidence of sedative effects at doses (0.2-5 mg/ kg po) similar to those that antagonized mCPP-induced hypolocomotion. [...] The project aimed to the discovery of a selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist at GSK evolved further [20] starting from compound 41 (SB-221284) and its methoxy analog 47 (Table 2). Compound 41 was found to be a potent inhibitor of a number of human cytochrome P450 enzymes (particularly the CYP1A2 isoform) and, therefore, further development was precluded.".
