Abstract Background The treatment of levodopa‐induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) is a largely unmet need. Objectives Mesdopetam novel small molecule dopamine D3 receptor antagonist aimed for the dyskinesia. This was phase 2b study dose finding to investigate efficacy and safety 2.5 mg, 5 mg 7,5 b.i.d. randomized controlled trial. Methods PD patients with ≥2 hours troublesome were placebo or mesdopetam twice daily 12 weeks. primary endpoint change from baseline week ON time...
A series of (S)-phenylpiperidines in which the substituents on aromatic ring and nitrogen have been varied has prepared. They evaluated pharmacologically to explore importance these for interaction with central dopamine (DA) receptors. On basis biochemical behavioral data rats, several compounds are characterized as centrally acting DA autoreceptor antagonists. (S)-Phenylpiperidines having an substituent a high group dipole moment 3-position, i.e., meta respect piperidine ring, being...
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dopaminergic stabilizer pridopidine (ACR16) in patients with Huntington's disease (HD). Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-week trial, HD received (50 mg/d, n = 28) or placebo (n 30). The primary outcome measure was change from baseline weighted cognitive score, assessed by tests (Symbol Digit Modalities, verbal fluency, Stroop tests). Secondary measures included changes Unified Disease Rating Scale, Hospital...
Pridopidine (ACR16) belongs to a new pharmacological class of agents affecting the central nervous system called dopaminergic stabilizers. Dopaminergic stabilizers act primarily at dopamine type 2 (D(2)) receptors and display state-dependent behavioural effects. This article aims give an overview preclinical neurochemical in vivo properties pridopidine. was given s.c. male Sprague-Dawley rats (locomotor, microdialysis tissue neurochemistry) i.p. Swiss mice (tail suspension test)....
Modification of the partial dopamine type 2 receptor (D(2)) agonist 3-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)phenol (9a) generated a series novel functional D(2) antagonists with fast-off kinetic properties. A representative this series, pridopidine (4-[3-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1-propylpiperidine; ACR16, 12b), bound competitively low affinity to in vitro, without displaying properties essential for interaction inactive state, thereby allowing receptors rapidly regain responsiveness. In vivo, neurochemical...
Arylation of 1-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,5-dihydropyrrole under standard Heck reaction conditions produces a mixture compounds. The olefin undergoes two types palladium-catalyzed reactions: (a) arylation to provide C-3 arylated derivatives and (b) competing double bond isomerization. Addition silver carbonate thallium acetate fully suppressed the isomerization, good yields substituted compounds were achieved after with aryl halides. With regard triflates as arylating agents, addition lithium...
(-)-OSU6162 is a substituted (S)-3-phenylpiperidine derivative which exhibits some affinity to the dopamine D2 receptor family. In vivo, compound displays unique normalizing profile on psychomotor activity by an intriguing mixture of stimulatory and inhibitory properties. present investigation, effects central dopaminergic function were studied positron emission tomography (PET) L-[11C]DOPA in anaesthetized female rhesus monkeys. displayed tone-dependent effect with reduction striatal influx...
IRL790 ([2-(3-fluoro-5-methanesulfonylphenoxy)ethyl](propyl)amine, mesdopetam) is a novel compound in development for the clinical management of motor and psychiatric disabilities Parkinson disease. The discovery was made applying systems pharmacology approach based on vivo response profiling. chemical design idea to develop new type DA D3/D2 receptor antagonist built agonist rather than structural motifs. We hypothesized that such dopamine with physicochemical properties similar agonists...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary, incurable neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of frontostriatal integrity.1 Clinically, movement disorder, dementia, and liability for behavioral disturbances psychosis characterize the disorder. It well known that dopaminergic drugs modify some clinical features HD. In this respect, different agonists antagonists function may improve or worsen chorea. Whereas levodopa offer relief from hypokinesia, concomitant worsening...

A series of para-substituted 4-phenylpiperidines/piperazines have been synthesized and their affinity to recombinant rat cerebral cortex monoamine oxidases (MAO A) B B) determined. Para-substituents with low dipole moment increased the MAO A, whereas groups high yielded compounds no or weak affinity. In contrast, properties affecting were polarity bulk para-substituent, large hydrophobic substituents producing addition, these tested in freely moving rats effect on post-mortem neurochemistry...
A series of 1-propyl-4-arylpiperidines were synthesized and their effects on the dopaminergic serotonergic systems tested in vivo vitro. Scaffold jumping among five- six-membered bicyclic aryl rings attached to piperidine ring had a marked impact these effects.
