Pipequaline (also known as PK-8165; PK 8165), a quinoline derivative and a ligand of the benzodiazepine binding site, is a clinically-effective anxiolytic, which is devoid of sedative and anticonvulsant properties, but it was never marketed. It is a partial benzodiazepine receptor agonist with anxiolytic activity and possesses a novel chemical structure that is not closely related to other drugs of this type. TPK 8165, applied microiontophoretically or administered i.v. at low doses, suppressed CCK-8S-induced activation of hippocampal pyramidal neurons, whereas, at high doses it antagonized the effect of microiontophoretic applications of flurazepam. These results indicate that PK 8165 acts as a mixed agonist-antagonist at BZD receptors and suggest that the suppression of CCK-8S-induced activation by BZD might be related to their anxiolytic property rather than to their sedative or anticonvulsant activity.

| ln Vitro |
Microiontophoretic application of PK 8165 (25 mM, pH 7) selectively reversed the activation of CA₁ and CA₃ hippocampal pyramidal neurons induced by cholecystokinin-8S (CCK-8S), but did not affect activation induced by acetylcholine or [Met⁵]enkephalin. [1]
- The effect of microiontophoretically applied PK 8165 on CCK-8S-induced activation was completely blocked by the BZD antagonist RO 15-1788 (3.5 mg/kg i.v.). [1] |
| ln Vivo |
The activation of kainate, glutamate, and acetylcholine was partially suppressed by piperaquinoline administered intravenously. Piperaquinoline microiontophoresis decreases kainic acid-induced neuronal activity [2]. Locomotor activity is reduced in a dose-related manner by piperaquinoline. In a dose-related way, piperaquinoline dramatically lowers the frequency of head bowing episodes [3].
Intravenous administration of low doses (100–500 µg/kg) of PK 8165 selectively reduced CCK-8S-induced activation of hippocampal pyramidal neurons without affecting responses to acetylcholine or [Met⁵]enkephalin. The ED₅₀ for this effect was 313 ± 43.2 µg/kg (mean ± S.E.). [1] - At high doses (>600 µg/kg i.v.), PK 8165 did not suppress CCK-8S-induced activation and instead antagonized the suppressive effect of microiontophoretically applied flurazepam on such activation. High doses also antagonized the effect of microiontophoretically applied PK 8165 itself. [1] - PK 8165 exhibits anxiolytic activity in experimental animals without sedative or anticonvulsant effects at doses producing anticonflict effects. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (200–300 g) were anesthetized with urethane (1.25 g/kg i.p.). A five-barreled micropipette was used for extracellular recording from pyramidal neurons in the CA₁ and CA₃ regions of the dorsal hippocampus. The central barrel was filled with 2 M NaCl and a dye for recording and marking sites. Side barrels were used for microiontophoretic application of substances: CCK-8S (10 µM in 0.2 M NaCl, pH 5), acetylcholine chloride (20 mM, pH 4), flurazepam-HCl (20 mM, pH 4), [Met⁵]enkephalin (0.5 mM in 0.2 M NaCl with 0.01% bovine serum albumin, pH 4.6), and PK 8165 (25 mM, pH 7). Pyramidal cells were identified by action potential characteristics. For intravenous administration, PK 8165 was dissolved and injected at doses ranging from 100 to >600 µg/kg. Recording sites were marked by ejecting dye with a -27 µA current for 20 minutes, followed by histological verification. [1]

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PK 8165 has a very short half-life in rats. The effect of intravenous injection of PK 8165 on benzodiazepine receptor-mediated responses is short-lived (completely recovered within 20 minutes after injection). [1]
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
At doses that produce anxiolytic (anti-conflict) effects, PK 8165 does not impair motor activity and has no sedative or anticonvulsant effects. [1]

| Additional Infomation |
Pipequaline is a quinoline derivative that is both anti-conflict and anticonvulsant. It is an anti-anxiety drug that has never been marketed. Its unique chemical structure is different from that of other drugs in its class. The pharmacological properties of Pipequaline are similar to those of benzodiazepines that have been reported. However, it has significant anxiolytic effects, while its sedative, amnesic, or anticonvulsant effects are weak. Due to these differences, the drug is classified as a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic.
PK 8165 (a phenylquinoline derivative) is a partial agonist of benzodiazepine receptors. It binds selectively to neuronal benzodiazepine receptors with high affinity, while its affinity for peripheral receptors is much lower. [1] - At low doses, the ability of PK 8165 to inhibit CCK-8S-induced hippocampal neuronal activation is considered a potential electrophysiological factor related to its anxiolytic effects, which are similar to those of benzodiazepines but different from their sedative and anticonvulsant effects. [1] - Early clinical trials have shown that PK 8165 is an effective anxiolytic with no sedative effect. [1] |
