Pardoprunox hydrochloride is a novel partial dopamine D2 and D3 receptor agonist and serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist, D2 (pKi = 8.1) and D3 receptor (pKi = 8.6) partial agonist and 5-HT1A receptor (pKi = 8.5) full agonist.IC50 value: 8.1/8.6/8.5 (pKi, for D2/ D3/5-HT1A receptor)Target: dopamine D2 and D3 receptor, 5-HT1A receptorin vitro: Pardoprunox also binds to D4 (pKi = 7.8), α1-adrenergic (pKi = 7.8), α2-adrenergic (pKi = 7.4), and 5-HT7 receptors (pKi = 7.2) with lower affinity. Pardoprunox acts as a potent but partial D(2) receptor agonist (pEC50 = 8.0 and pA2 = 8.4) with an efficacy of 50% on forskolin stimulated cAMP accumulation. At human recombinant dopamine D3 receptors, Pardoprunox acts as a partial agonist in the induction of [35S]GTPgammaS binding (intrinsic activity of 67%; pEC(50) = 9.2) and antagonized the dopamine induction of [35S]GTPgammaS binding (pA2 = 9.0). Pardoprunox acts as a full 5-HT1A receptor agonist on forskolin induced cAMP accumulation at cloned human 5-HT1A receptors but with low potency (pEC50 = 6.3) [1].in vivo: Pardoprunox induces contralateral turning behaviour in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine-induced lesions of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) (MED=0.03mg/kg; po). In MPTP-treated common marmosets, Pardoprunox dose-dependently increases locomotor activity (MED=0.03mg/kg; po) and decreases motor disability (MED=0.03mg/kg; po). In contrast Pardoprunox attenuated novelty-induced locomotor activity (MED=0.01mg/kg; po), (+)-amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion (MED=0.3mg/kg; po) and apomorphine-induced climbing (MED=0.6mg/kg; po) in rodents. Pardoprunox also induces 5-HT1A receptor-mediated behaviours, including flat body posture and lower lip retraction (MED=0.3mg/kg; po). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Pardoprunox possesses dopamine D2/3 partial agonist effects, 5-HT1A agonist effects and reduces parkinsonism in animal models. functional D2 receptor partial agonist activity and is effective in experimental models predictive of efficacy in PD.[2]

At human recombinant dopamine D(3) receptors, SLV308 acted as a partial agonist in the induction of [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding (intrinsic activity of 67%; pEC(50) = 9.2) and antagonized the dopamine induction of [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding (pA(2) = 9.0). SLV308 acted as a full 5-HT(1) (A) receptor agonist on forskolin induced cAMP accumulation at cloned human 5-HT(1) (A) receptors but with low potency (pEC(50) = 6.3) [1].in vivo: Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS)-Motor score was improved in pardoprunox-treated patients (overall mean dose 23.8 mg/d; -7.3 points), as compared with placebo (-3.0 points; P = 0.0001), from baseline to end point. At end point, there were more responders (> or = 30% reduction in UPDRS-Motor score) in the pardoprunox group (50.7%) than in the placebo group (15.7%; P < 0.0001) [2]. Surprisingly in the SNc, pardoprunox (10 μg kg?1, i.v.) either partially or fully suppressed the firing activity in two separate populations of DA neurons. Finally, in the DRN, pardoprunox (5-40 μg kg-1, i.v.) completely suppressed the firing activity of 5-HT neurons.

Specific [3H]eltoprazine binding was completely displaced by 5-HT; conversely, unlabelled eltoprazine reduced [3H]5-HT binding to the levels of non-specific binding [1]. Eltoprazine evoked membrane changes that were similar to but much weaker than those induced by 5HT. Both the 5HT- and eltoprazine-evoked membrane hyperpolarizations were largely suppressed in the presence of spiperone [2].in vivo: eltoprazine is extremely effective in suppressing dyskinesia in experimental models, although this effect was accompanied by a partial worsening of the therapeutic effect of l-dopa. Interestingly, eltoprazine was found to (synergistically) potentiate the antidyskinetic effect of amantadine. The current data indicated that eltoprazine is highly effective in counteracting dyskinesia in preclinical models [3]. Rats were chronically treated with mianserin (10 mg/kg i.p.) or eltoprazine (1 mg/kg i.p.) and were tested in the elevated plus-maze test for anxiety.

In fluoxetine treated animals, levels of 5-HT increases from 312±43% to a maximum of 683% after LY310762. In control animals, levels of 5-HT remains unchanged (250%). LY310762 administered alone also significantly increases basal levels of 5-HT above vehicle controls, reaching a maximum of 258% compared to the pre-injection control [1].
