Novel olanzapine analogues presenting a reduced H1 receptor affinity and retained 5HT2A/D2 binding affinity ratio

چکیده
BACKGROUND Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug with high clinical efficacy, but which can cause severe weight gain and metabolic disorders in treated patients. Blockade of the histamine 1 (H1) receptors is believed to play a crucial role in olanzapine induced weight gain, whereas the therapeutic effects of this drug are mainly attributed to its favourable serotoninergic 2A and dopamine 2 (5HT2A/D2) receptor binding affinity ratios. RESULTS We have synthesized novel olanzapine analogues 8a and 8b together with the already known derivative 8c and we have examined their respective in vitro affinities for the 5HT2A, D2, and H1 receptors. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that thienobenzodiazepines 8b and 8c with lower binding affinity for the H1 receptors, but similar 5HT2A/D2 receptor binding affinity ratios to those of olanzapine. These compounds may offer a better pharmacological profile than olanzapine for treating patients with schizophrenia.

متن کاملDibenzazecine compounds with a novel dopamine/5HT2A receptor profile and 3D-QSAR analysis
BACKGROUND Antipsychotics are divided into typical and atypical compounds based on clinical efficacy and side effects. The purpose of this study was to characterize in vitro a series of novel azecine-type compounds at human dopamine D1-D5 and 5HT2A receptors and to assign them to different classes according to their dopamine/5HT2A receptor profile. RESULTS Regardless of using affinity data (p...
متن کاملSynthesis and evaluation of C9 alkoxy analogues of (-)-stepholidine as dopamine receptor ligands.
Tetrahydroprotoberberine alkaloids have shown interesting polypharmacological actions at dopamine receptors and are a unique template from which to mine novel molecules with dual selective actions at D1 and D3 receptors. Such compounds will be valuable to evaluate as anti-cocaine therapeutics. Towards that eventual goal, we engaged an SAR study in which a series of C9 alkoxy analogues of the D1...
متن کاملAdverse events associated with switching antipsychotics.
Antipsychotics are the first-line agents for managing schizophrenia and related disorders. As with other chronic illnesses, clinicians must often decide whether to switch a patient’s current medication to try to improve treatment response, reduce intolerable side effects and improve quality of life and functioning. Unfortunately, guidance for switching among antipsychotics is lacking, as minima...

In search of a dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT3 receptors dual antagonist as a potential broad antiemetic agent, a number of benzamides were prepared from 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid derivatives and 6-amino-1,4-dialkylhexahydro-1,4-diazepines and evaluated for their binding affinity for the dopamine D2 and the serotonin 5-HT3 receptors using rat brain synaptic and rat cortical membran...
