Chemistry:XC-130

From HandWiki

XC-130, or XC130, also known as XC130-A10H, is a dopamine receptor agonist which is under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[1][2][3][4] It is taken orally.[1][3][4]

The drug is a dopamine D2 receptor partial agonist, a dopamine D3 receptor antagonist, an α1A-adrenergic receptor antagonist, and a serotonin 5-HT1B, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2B receptor antagonist.[3] Its potency as a dopamine D2 receptor agonist is similar to that of lisuride.[3] XC-130 produces antiparkinsonian-like effects in animals.[4] Due to its pharmacological profile, the drug is expected to avoid adverse effects and toxicity such as obsessive–compulsive symptoms (related to D3 agonism), vasoconstriction (related to α1A-adrenergic and 5-HT1B agonism), hallucinogenic effects (related to 5-HT2A agonism), and cardiac valvulopathy (related to 5-HT2B agonism).[3] It has a notably longer elimination half-life than the relatively short-acting lisuride.[3] The drug is intended to provide similar therapy as existing ergoline dopamine receptor agonists like pergolide and lisuride but with an improved drug profile.[3][4]

XC-130 is under development by Xoc Pharmaceuticals.[1][2] As of November 2022, it is in phase 1/2 clinical trials.[1][2] The chemical structure of XC-130 does not yet appear to have been disclosed.[1]
