| Targets |
Noradrenaline Transporter (NET), Serotonin Transporter (SERT), and Dopamine Transporter (DAT). 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine functions as a potent and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) by binding to the presynaptic NET and blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine, thereby increasing noradrenergic tone in the prefrontal cortex, which improves attention and reduces impulsivity and hyperactivity.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Atomoxetine (the parent drug) inhibits radioligand binding to human NET, SERT, and DAT with Ki values of 5 nM, 77 nM, and 1451 nM, respectively. The equipotent metabolite 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine maintains similar NET binding affinity and selectivity over SERT and DAT. The metabolite also undergoes rapid glucuronidation to 4-HAT-O-glucuronide.
|
| ln Vivo |
Atomoxetine (0.3-3 mg/kg i.p.) increases extracellular norepinephrine and dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex by 200-300% in microdialysis studies. The equipotent metabolite 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine is expected to contribute similarly to the in vivo pharmacological effect in extensive metabolizers, although it undergoes rapid glucuronidation, which limits its free plasma concentration.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Radioligand binding assays are performed using membrane preparations from HEK-293 cells expressing human NET. Membranes (20-50 microg protein) are incubated with [3H]nisoxetine (1-2 nM) and varying concentrations of 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 120 mM NaCl and 5 mM KCl for 60 min at 4degC. Nonspecific binding is determined using 10 microM desipramine. Bound radioactivity is separated by GF/B filter filtration and counted by liquid scintillation. Ki values are calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
HEK-293 cells stably expressing human NET are seeded in 96-well plates and cultured for 24h. Cells are pre-incubated with various concentrations of 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine in Krebs-HEPES buffer (pH 7.4) for 10 min, followed by addition of [3H]norepinephrine (100 nM) for another 10 min at 37degC. Uptake is terminated by rapid washing with cold buffer, cells are lysed, and accumulated radioactivity is quantified by liquid scintillation. IC50 for inhibition of NE uptake is calculated.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) are implanted with a microdialysis probe targeting the prefrontal cortex. After 24-48 h recovery, aCSF is perfused at 1.5 microL/min and samples are collected every 20 min. After baseline stabilization (3-4 samples), atomoxetine (1-10 mg/kg i.p.) or its metabolite 4-hydroxyatomoxetine is administered, and dialysates are analyzed for norepinephrine and dopamine by HPLC-ECD. Changes are expressed as % of baseline.

Metabolism / Metabolites
Known metabolites of 4-hydroxy-(S)-atomoxetine include (2S,3S,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-[3-methyl-4-[(1R)-3-(methylamino)-1-phenylpropoxy]phenoxy]oxacyclohexane-2-carboxylic acid. 4-hydroxy-(S)-atomoxetine is a known metabolite of (S)-atomoxetine. 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine is the primary active metabolite of atomoxetine, formed by CYP2D6. In extensive metabolizers (EMs), atomoxetine has an oral bioavailability of ~63-94% and a short half-life of ~4-5 h, whereas poor metabolizers (PMs) have a half-life of ~21 h. The metabolite undergoes rapid glucuronidation by UGT1A9 and UGT2B15 to an inactive glucuronide, and it is excreted in urine. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Atomoxetine carries a boxed warning for suicidal ideation in children and adolescents. Common adverse effects: GI distress (nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite), dry mouth, insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, and mild cardiovascular effects (increased HR/BP). Hepatotoxicity is rare but severe. 4-Hydroxyatomoxetine is not intended for human therapeutic use.

| Additional Infomation |
4-Hydroxyatormoxine is an aromatic ether and belongs to the class of phenolic compounds.
4-Hydroxyatomoxetine is a research standard for bioanalytical LC-MS/MS quantification of atomoxetine and its metabolites, particularly for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and pharmacogenetic studies investigating CYP2D6 polymorphism, given that PMs have significantly higher exposure and a different AE profile compared to EMs. |
