Chemistry:SB-247853

From HandWiki

SB-247853 is a highly selective serotonin 5-HT2C receptor inverse agonist which was under development for the treatment of major depressive disorder but was never marketed.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Its affinities (Ki) were found to be 0.50 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, 60 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 1,300 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[3][5] Hence, it shows 120-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor and 2,600-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[3][5] The drug reverses the hypolocomotion induced by the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) in rodents.[3][5] It is orally active.[5][7]

The drug produced orthostatic intolerance in healthy human volunteers during the first dose-escalation clinical study.[7] Subsequently, it was found to cause substantial hypotension (low blood pressure) and presyncope (pre-fainting symptoms) in the tilt table test.[7] It was concluded based on these findings that the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor is involved in regulating the cardiovascular system.[7]

SB-247853 was first described in the scientific literature by 2000.[5] It was developed by GlaxoSmithKline.[1][2][3] The drug reached phase 1 clinical trials prior to the discontinuation of its development in 2005.[1][2]

"GlaxoSmithKline had also investigated SB-247853 (77, Figure 5), an orally active 5-HT2C receptor inverse agonist, for the potential treatment of CNS disorders such as anxiety and depression. However, no development has been reported since 2000. SB-247853 (77) has a pKi value of 9.3 at 5-HT2C receptor and 1300- and 60-fold selectivity over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B, respectively. It showed an ID50 value for the inhibition of m-CPP induced hyperlocomotion in rat of 1 mg/kg p.o. Although compound 77 has good overall pharmacological profiles, it has also poor solubility (0.014 mg/ml in 0.1 N HCl for the monohydrochloride salt) [162,163]. [...] Through a series of structural optimization process, GlaxoSmithKline developed the selective 5-HT2C inverse agonist SB-243213 (76) and SB-247853 (77), both of which progressed to clinical developments. These compounds appear to have good target product profiles except for their relatively poor solubility.".
