| Targets |
Noradrenaline Transporter (NET). 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine D3 acts via inhibition of the presynaptic norepinephrine transporter (NET) in the brain. By blocking norepinephrine reuptake into presynaptic terminals, it increases extracellular norepinephrine levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), enhancing noradrenergic transmission and improving attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in ADHD.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
4-Hydroxyatomoxetine inhibits [3H]norepinephrine uptake into rat synaptosomes (IC50 approximately 5-10 nM), with potency similar to atomoxetine (IC50 = 5 nM). It is highly selective for NET over serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DAT) transporters. The deuterated form retains this NET inhibitory activity and serves as a stable labeled tracer.
|
| ln Vivo |
In animal models, atomoxetine (0.3-3 mg/kg i.p.) increases extracellular norepinephrine and dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex (by 200-300%) but not in the nucleus accumbens or striatum, as measured by microdialysis. This regional selectivity is thought to underlie its therapeutic efficacy in ADHD without abuse potential. The active metabolite 4-hydroxyatomoxetine contributes to the overall in vivo activity.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Radioligand binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from HEK-293 cells expressing human NET. Membranes (10-50 microg protein) are incubated with [3H]nisoxetine as the radioligand and varying concentrations of 4-hydroxyatomoxetine D3 in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 120 mM NaCl and 5 mM KCl for 60 minutes at 4degC. Nonspecific binding is determined with 10 microM desipramine. Bound radioactivity is separated by filtration through GF/B filters and measured by liquid scintillation counting. Ki values are calculated using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.
|
| Cell Assay |
HEK-293 cells stably expressing human NET are seeded in 96-well plates (100,000 cells/well) in DMEM with 10% FBS. After 24 hours, cells are washed with Krebs-HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) containing 10 microM pargyline and 0.5 mM ascorbic acid. Cells are pre-incubated with varying concentrations of 4-hydroxyatomoxetine D3 for 10 minutes, then [3H]norepinephrine (100 nM) is added for 10 minutes at 37degC. Uptake is terminated by washing cells three times with ice-cold buffer, and cell lysates are collected for scintillation counting. IC50 values are calculated from inhibition curves.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) undergo stereotaxic surgery for implantation of a microdialysis probe into the prefrontal cortex (coordinates: AP +3.2 mm, ML +/-0.8 mm, DV -4.5 mm from bregma). After 24-48 hours recovery, artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) is perfused at 1.5 microL/min. Dialysate samples are collected every 20 minutes. After baseline stabilization (3-4 samples), 4-hydroxyatomoxetine (1-10 mg/kg i.p.) or vehicle is administered. Norepinephrine and dopamine levels in dialysate are quantified by HPLC-ECD. The percent increase over baseline is calculated.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
4-Hydroxyatomoxetine D3 is intended as an internal standard for LC-MS/MS quantification of atomoxetine and its metabolites. 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine is formed by CYP2D6-mediated aromatic hydroxylation of atomoxetine. In humans, atomoxetine has an oral bioavailability of ~63-94%, a half-life of 4-5 hours in extensive metabolizers (EMs) and ~21 hours in poor metabolizers (PMs), and is 98% protein bound.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Atomoxetine is generally well tolerated but carries a boxed warning for suicidal ideation in children and adolescents. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal distress (nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite), dry mouth, insomnia, fatigue, and dizziness. Cardiovascular effects (mild increases in heart rate and blood pressure) may occur. Hepatotoxicity is rare but can be severe.

| Additional Infomation |
Atomoxetine (Strattera®) was FDA-approved in 2002 for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults. 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine D3 is a research internal standard used in pharmaceutical analysis, drug metabolism studies, therapeutic drug monitoring, and forensic toxicology for the precise quantification of atomoxetine and its active metabolite.
