Product Description
Flesinoxan is an anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering) agent and a potent, high-affinity and selective serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonist (activator) with EC50 of 24 nM. Flesinoxan also has potent anxiolytic (anti-anxiety)/antidepressant effects.
Flesinoxan is a potent, high-affinity, and selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonist. It is an antihypertensive agent with anxiolytic and antidepressant properties. It has a molecular weight of 415.42 and a molecular formula of C₂₂H₂₆FN₃O₄.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Flesinoxan targets the 5-HT1A receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates serotonergic neurotransmission in the brain. As a selective agonist, flesinoxan activates 5-HT1A receptors, leading to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase and modulation of neuronal excitability. This receptor activation is responsible for the compound's anxiolytic and antidepressant effects, as well as its antihypertensive activity.
ln Vitro
Flesinoxan is a potent 5-HT1A receptor agonist with an EC₅₀ of 24 nM. It shows high selectivity for 5-HT1A over other serotonin receptor subtypes and other neurotransmitter receptors. The compound's activity can be quantified in radioligand binding assays using [³H]-8-OH-DPAT and in functional assays measuring 5-HT1A-mediated inhibition of cAMP accumulation or activation of G protein-coupled inward rectifier potassium (GIRK) channels.
ln Vivo
At postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, flesinoxan functions as a partial agonist; at presynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, it functions as a full agonist. The way that 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) counteracts the effects of 5-HT on CA3 pyramidal neurons is comparable to that of blesinoxan [1]. Flesinoxan administered intravenously suppresses the firing activity of dorsal raphe 5-HT neurons and CA3 pyramidal neurons. It was established how permeable the brain is to [3H]Flesinoxan and [3H]8-OH-DPAT. Brain concentrations of [3H]8-OH-DPAT were substantially greater than [3H]Flesinoxan nine minutes after intravenous injection[1]. The administration of Flesinoxan with 8-OH-DPAT subcutaneously induces hypothermia based on the dose. The hypothermia caused by Flesinoxan was considerably reduced by preadministration of the nonselective 5-HT1A antagonist pindolol and the 5-HT1/2 antagonist methysergide. 0.5 mg/kg of 8-OH-DPAT and 3 mg/kg of Flesinoxan produced hypothermia to comparable degrees. Compared to 8-OH-DPAT, the maximal effect of Flesinoxan happens 30 minutes later and dissipates more slowly [1].
Flesinoxan has been shown to have anxiolytic and antidepressant effects in animal models. It also exhibits antihypertensive activity. The compound's effects on serotonin neurotransmission have been studied in rodent models of anxiety and depression. Flesinoxan has been investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cellular receptor binding assays, flesinoxan's affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor can be evaluated using radioligand binding displacement studies. Membrane preparations from cells expressing human 5-HT1A receptors (or from rat hippocampal tissue) are incubated with [³H]-8-OH-DPAT and varying concentrations of flesinoxan. Binding displacement curves are generated to determine the IC₅₀ and Ki values.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for flesinoxan involve treating cells expressing the 5-HT1A receptor with the compound and measuring receptor-mediated signaling. Functional assays typically measure the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation, as 5-HT1A receptors are coupled to Gi proteins. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of flesinoxan, and cAMP levels are quantified by ELISA or AlphaScreen. The EC₅₀ for receptor activation is determined.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with flesinoxan involve administering the compound to rodents to assess its effects on behavior and autonomic function. The compound's anxiolytic effects are evaluated using the elevated plus maze, open field test, or social interaction test. Antidepressant effects are assessed using the forced swim test or tail suspension test. Antihypertensive effects are measured by monitoring blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Flesinoxan has a molecular weight of 415.42 and a molecular formula of C₂₂H₂₆FN₃O₄. It is a solid at room temperature and is typically stored at -20°C. The compound is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. Purity is typically >98%. It is stable under recommended storage conditions and is protected from light and moisture.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for flesinoxan are limited as it is an investigational compound. In preclinical studies, it has been generally well-tolerated. As a 5-HT1A agonist, it may cause side effects related to serotonergic activation, including gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and dizziness. The compound has been evaluated in clinical trials.
