Ziprasidone(CP88059) is a combined 5-HT (serotonin) and dopamine receptor antagonist which exhibits potent effects of antipsychotic activity.Target: 5-HT receptor; Dopamine receptorZiprasidone (hydrochloride) is the salt form of ziprasidone, which possesses an in vitro 5-HT2A/dopamine D2 receptor affinity ratio higher than any clinically available antipsychotic agent. In vivo, ziprasidone antagonizes 5-HT2A receptor-induced head twitch with 6-fold higher potency than for blockade of d-amphetamine-induced hyperactivity, a measure of central dopamine D2 receptor antagonism. Ziprasidone also has high affinity for the 5-HT1A, 5-HT1D and 5-HT2C receptor subtypes, which may further enhance its therapeutic potential [1]. Ziprasidone sulfoxide and sulfone were the major metabolites in human serum. The affinities of the sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites for 5-HT2 and D2 receptors are low with respect to ziprasidone, and are thus unlikely to contribute to its antipsychotic effects [2]. Ziprasidone was associated with significant differential adverse effects relative to placebo in BPM, BPD, and schizophrenia with no significant difference in weight gain in all 3 groups. Self-reported somnolence was increased across the 3 conditions. Subjects with BPM were more vulnerable to EPS than those with BPD or schizophrenia [3].Clinical indications: Bipolar I disorder; Bipolar disorder; Mania; SchizophreniaFDA Approved Date: February 2001

IC50 Value: 27±5 nM(Ki) [1]Target: 5-HT1Ain vitro: Tandospirone is most potent at the 5-HT1A receptor, displaying a Ki value of 27 +/- 5 nM. The agent is approximately two to three orders of magnitude less potent at 5-HT2, 5-HT1C, alpha 1-adrenergic, alpha 2-adrenergic, and dopamine D1 and D2 receptors (Ki values ranging from 1300 to 41000 nM). Tandospirone is essentially inactive at 5-HT1B receptors; 5-HT uptake sites; beta-adrenergic, muscarinic cholinergic, and benzodiazepine receptors [1]. 3H-SM-3997 bound rapidly, reversibly and in a saturable manner with high affinity to rat brain hippocampal membranes (Kd = 9.4 nM, Bmax = 213 fmol/mg protein) [2]. in vivo: Chronic treatment with tandospirone, at 0.2 and 1.0mg/kg/day, but not 2.0mg/kg/day, attenuated footshock stress-induced eLAC elevation in the mPFC [3]. Rats were acutely administered tandospirone (0, 0.1, and 1 mg/kg, i.p.). Tandospirone decreased the number of premature responses, an index of impulsive action, in a dose-dependent manner [4].Toxicity: It is not believed to be addictive but it is known to produce mild withdrawal effects (e.g. anorexia) after abrupt discontinuation.
GBR 12935 2Hcl is a potent, and selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor.IC50 value: Target: dopamine reuptake inhibitorin vitro: The calculated Kd of [3H]GBR-12935 binding to CYP2D6 was 42.2 nM, indicating that GBR-12935 has a high affinity for CYP2D6. The binding of [3H]GBR-12935 to CYP2D6 was decreased partially by substrates or inhibitors of CYP2D isoforms (quinine, quinidine, propranolol, bufuralol, imipramine, and desipramine) [1]. Co-perfusion of 100 microM GBR 12909 or GBR 12935 with either 100 microM sulpiride or raclopride produced a significant reduction in the GBR 12909 or GBR 12935 induced increase in the extracellular levels of dopamine to basal levels. In vitro, GBR 12909 (1-9 nM) dose-dependently inhibited active uptake of [3H]dopamine in homogenates of the nucleus accumbens [2].in vivo: GBR 12935 elevated locomotion to a greater extent in C57BL/6J mice at the maximally active dose of 10 mg/kg. Locomotor stimulation by GBR 12935 remained consistent in both strains with repeated injections. DBA/2J mice became sensitized to cocaine-induced stereotypy with repeated injections. Cocaine induced no stereotypy in C57BL/6J mice on any test day. No stereotypies were induced by GBR 12935 in either strain on any test day [3].
Imidafenacin(KRP-197; ONO-8025) is a potent and selective inhibitor of M3 receptors with Kb of 0.317 nM; less potent for M2 receptors(IC50=4.13 nM).IC50 value: 0.3 nM(M3) [1]in vitro: KRP-197 showed equipotent anti-M2 and anti-M3 activity and decreased subtype-selectivity [1]. in vivo: Intraduodenal administration of KRP-197 (0.04±0.30 mg/kg) inhibited bladder contraction dose-dependently, and the ED30 value was 0.11 mg/kg. The inhibitory action of KRP-197 on the bladder contraction was 19 times as potent as that of oxybutynin. KRP-197 showed preventive action againstthe decrease in bladder capacity induced by carbachol(ED50 0.074 mg/kg, intragastric administration), andthe potency of the inhibitory action was 15-fold greaterthan that of oxybutynin [1]. The learning-inhibitory doses of intravenous oxybutynin hydrochloride and tolterodine tartrate were 0.3 and 3 mg/kg in sham-operated rats and 0.1 and 1 mg/kg in nbM-lesioned rats, respectively. Thus, the learning impairments by those antimuscarinics were more sensitive in nbM-lesioned rats than in sham-operated rats. On the other hand, intravenous administration of imidafenacin had no influence on learning in either case of the rats. In normal rats, however, intracerebroventricular administration of imidafenacin impaired learning to the same degree as that of oxybutynin hydrochloride [2].

At higher concentrations, JZL195 inhibited ABHD6 but not any of the other brain serine hydrolases detected in our competitive ABPP assays. JZL195 also inhibited rat and human FAAH and MAGL enzymes with IC50 values in the range of 10–100 nM based on competitive ABPP assays [1].in vivo: A time course analysis of mice given one administration ofJZL195 (20 mg/kg, i.p.) revealed that blockade of FAAH andMAGL lasted at least 10 h as judged by gel-based ABPP or AEAand 2-AG hydrolysis assays [1]. The effect of systemic injections of a range of doses of JZL195 and the pan-cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55212 were performed 1 day following intraplantar injection of CFA in C57BL/6 mice. JZL195 and WIN55212 both reduced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, and produced catalepsy and sedation in a dose dependent manner. Unlike WIN55212, JZL195 reduced allodynia at doses below those at which side-effects were observed [2].
