The pharmacol. properties and pharmacokinetic profile of the α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) partial agonist varenicline provide an advantageous combination of free brain levels and functional potencies at the target receptor that for a large part explain its efficacy as a smoking cessation aid. Since α4β2 and other nAChR subtypes play important roles in mediating central processes that control reward, mood, cognition and attention, there is interest in examining the effects of selective nAChR ligands such as varenicline in preclin. animal models that assess these behaviors. Here we describe results from studies on varenicline’s effects in animal models of addiction, depression, cognition and attention and discuss these in the context of recently published preclin. and preliminary clin. studies that collected data on varenicline’s effects on mood, cognition and alc. abuse disorder. Taken together, the preclin. and the limited clin. data show beneficial effects of varenicline, but further clin. studies are needed to evaluate whether the preclin. effects observed in animal models are translatable to the clinic.

Rollema, Hans published the artcileVarenicline has antidepressant-like activity in the forced swim test and augments sertraline’s effect, SDS of cas: 375815-87-5, the publication is European Journal of Pharmacology (2009), 605(1-3), 114-116, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Varenicline, an α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist developed as a smoking cessation aid, showed antidepressant-like activity in the forced swim test in two mouse strains. In addition, a low varenicline dose significantly enhanced the effects of moderately active doses of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor sertraline. These findings are consistent with the notion that reducing α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activity either by antagonists or by partial agonists that can partially activate or desensitize acetylcholine receptors is associated with antidepressant-like properties. These data suggest that varenicline may have antidepressant potential and can, when combined, augment antidepressant responses of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Brunner, Joseph I. published the artcilePharmacological Validation of Candidate Causal Sleep Genes Identified in an N2 Cross, COA of Formula: C17H19N3O6, the publication is Journal of Neurogenetics (2011), 25(4), 167-181, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Despite the substantial impact of sleep disturbances on human health and the many years of study dedicated to understanding sleep pathologies, the underlying genetic mechanisms that govern sleep and wake largely remain unknown. Recently, the authors completed large-scale genetic and gene expression analyses in a segregating inbred mouse cross and identified candidate causal genes that regulate the mammalian sleep-wake cycle, across multiple traits including total sleep time, amounts of rapid eye movement (REM), non-REM, sleep bout duration, and sleep fragmentation. Here the authors describe a novel approach toward validating candidate causal genes, while also identifying potential targets for sleep-related indications. Select small-mol. antagonists and agonists were used to interrogate candidate causal gene function in rodent sleep polysomnog. assays to determine impact on overall sleep architecture and to evaluate alignment with associated sleep-wake traits. Significant effects on sleep architecture were observed in validation studies using compounds targeting the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3 subunit (Chrm3) (wake promotion), nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha4 subunit (Chrna4) (wake promotion), dopamine receptor D5 subunit (Drd5) (sleep induction), serotonin 1D receptor (Htr1d) (altered REM fragmentation), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (Glp1r) (light sleep promotion and reduction of deep sleep), and calcium channel, voltage-dependent, T type, alpha 1I subunit (Cacna1i) (increased bout duration of slow wave sleep). Taken together, these results show the complexity of genetic components that regulate sleep-wake traits and highlight the importance of evaluating this complex behavior at a systems level. Pharmacol. validation of genetically identified putative targets provides a rapid alternative to generating knock out or transgenic animal models, and may ultimately lead towards new therapeutic opportunities.

Oncken, Cheryl published the artcileEfficacy and safety of the novel selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, varenicline, for smoking cessation, Application In Synthesis of 375815-87-5, the publication is Archives of Internal Medicine (2006), 166(15), 1571-1577, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, varenicline tartrate, represents a novel type of therapy for smoking cessation. This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 4 varenicline dose regimens, 2 with progressive dosing over the first week (eg, titrated) and 2 with a fixed dosing schedule (eg, non-titrated), for promoting smoking cessation. This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study randomized healthy smokers (aged 18-65 years) to varenicline tartrate, 0.5 mg twice daily nontitrated (n = 129), 0.5 mg twice daily titrated (n = 130), 1.0 mg twice daily nontitrated (n = 129), 1.0 mg twice daily titrated (n = 130), or placebo (n = 129) for 12 wk to aid in smoking cessation. A 40-wk follow-up period assessed long-term efficacy. The primary efficacy measures were the carbon monoxide-confirmed 4-wk continuous quit rates by pooled dosage group for weeks 4 through 7 and 9 through 12 and the continuous abstinence rates for weeks 9 through 52. Weeks 9 through 12 continuous quit rates were greater in the 1.0-mg group (49.4%) and the 0.5-mg group (44.0%) vs placebo (11.6%; P < .001 vs both doses). Weeks 9 through 52 abstinence rates were greater in the 1.0-mg group (22.4%; P < .001) and the 0.5-mg group (18.5%; P < .001) vs placebo (3.9%). Varenicline was generally well tolerated, with nausea occurring in 16% to 42% of varenicline-treated subjects. Reports of nausea were lower for the titrated vs nontitrated dosing and infrequently led to medication discontinuation. Varenicline tartrate, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg twice daily, is efficacious for smoking cessation.

Cousin, Margot A. published the artcileLarval zebrafish model for FDA-approved drug repositioning for tobacco dependence treatment, Application of 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-6H-6,10-methanoazepino[4,5-g]quinoxaline (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxysuccinate, the publication is PLoS One (2014), 9(3), e90467/1-e90467/10, 10 pp., database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Cigarette smoking remains the most preventable cause of death and excess health care costs in the United States, and is a leading cause of death among alcoholics. Long-term tobacco abstinence rates are low, and pharmacotherapeutic options are limited. Repositioning medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may efficiently provide clinicians with new treatment options. We developed a drug-repositioning paradigm using larval zebrafish locomotion and established predictive clin. validity using FDA-approved smoking cessation therapeutics. We evaluated 39 physician-vetted medications for nicotine-induced locomotor activation blockade. We further evaluated candidate medications for altered ethanol response, as well as in combination with varenicline for nicotine-response attenuation. Six medications specifically inhibited the nicotine response. Among this set, apomorphine and topiramate blocked both nicotine and ethanol responses. Both pos. interact with varenicline in the Bliss Independence test, indicating potential synergistic interactions suggesting these are candidates for translation into Phase II clin. trials for smoking cessation.

Di Rocco, Daniel A. published the artcileLate-stage functionalization of biologically active heterocycles through photoredox catalysis, Quality Control of 375815-87-5, the publication is Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2014), 53(19), 4802-4806, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The direct C-H functionalization of heterocycles has become an increasingly valuable tool in modern drug discovery. However, the introduction of small alkyl groups, such as Me, by this method has not been realized in the context of complex mol. synthesis since existing methods rely on the use of strong oxidants and elevated temperatures to generate the requisite radical species. Herein, the authors report the use of stable organic peroxides activated by visible-light photoredox catalysis to achieve the direct methyl-, ethyl-, and cyclopropylation of a variety of biol. active heterocycles. The simple protocol, mild reaction conditions, and unique tolerability of this method make it an important tool for drug discovery.

Zheng, Lin published the artcileThe calcimimetic agent cinacalcet inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma via YAP/TAZ suppression, Safety of 7,8,9,10-Tetrahydro-6H-6,10-methanoazepino[4,5-g]quinoxaline (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxysuccinate, the publication is Pharmazie (2021), 76(10), 511-514, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

The lack of effective strategies remains a pivotal challenge for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. YAP/ TAZ is a promising target for effective drugs against HCC. In this study, we profiled the regulatory effect of 98 drugs on transcriptional activity of YAP/TAZ and identified the calcimimetic agent cinacalcet as a potent YAP inhibitor. Cinacalcet inhibited YAP expression in HCC models at both transcriptional and protein levels, and ultimately arrested cell proliferation of HCC. Overexpression of YAP weakened the anticancer efficacy of cinacalcet, indicating that YAP was responsible for the antineoplastic activity of cinacalcet. Collectively, this study suggested cinacalcet as a feasible anticancer drug for HCC via its inhibition on YAP/TAZ.

Hoffman, Keith B. published the artcileA Pharmacovigilance Signaling System Based on FDA Regulatory Action and Post-Marketing Adverse Event Reports, Category: quinoxaline, the publication is Drug Safety (2016), 39(6), 561-575, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

Many serious drug adverse events (AEs) only manifest well after regulatory approval. Therefore, the development of signaling methods to use with post-approval AE databases appears vital to comprehensively assess real-world drug safety. However, with millions of potential drug-AE pairs to analyze, the issue of focus is daunting. Our objective was to develop a signaling platform that focuses on AEs with historically demonstrated regulatory interest and to analyze such AEs with a disproportional reporting method that offers broad signal detection and acceptable false-pos. rates. We analyzed over 1500 US FDA regulatory actions (safety communications and drug label changes) from 2008 to 2015 to construct a list of eligible signal AEs. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was used to evaluate disproportional reporting rates, constrained by min. case counts and confidence interval limits, of these selected AEs for 109 training drugs. This step led to 45 AEs that appeared to have a low likelihood of being added to a label by FDA, so they were removed from the signal eligible list. We measured disproportional reporting for the final group of eligible AEs on a test group of 29 drugs that were not used in either the eligible list construction or the training steps. In a group of 29 test drugs, our model reduced the number of potential drug-AE signals from 41,834 to 97 and predicted 73 % of individual drug label changes. The model also predicted at least one AE-drug pair label change in 66 % of all the label changes for the test drugs. By concentrating on AE types with already demonstrated interest to FDA, we constructed a signaling system that provided focus regarding drug-AE pairs and suitable accuracy with regard to the issuance of FDA labeling changes. We suggest that focus on historical regulatory actions may increase the utility of pharmacovigilance signaling systems.
