Product Description

Pitolisant HCl (formerly also known as BF2.649; BF2649; Ciproxidine; Wakix) is a nonimidazole-based inverse agonist of the recombinant human histamine H3 receptor approved in 2019 for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy. It activates H3 receptor with Ki of 0.16 nM. Histamine H3 receptor inverse agonists are known to enhance the activity of histaminergic neurons in brain and thereby promote vigilance and cognition. On the stimulation of guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S]thio)triphosphate binding to this receptor, BF2.649 behaved as a competitive antagonist with a Ki value of 0.16 nM and as an inverse agonist with an EC50 value of 1.5 nM and an intrinsic activity approximately 50% higher than that of ciproxifan. Its in vitro potency was approximately 6 times lower at the rodent receptor. In mice, the oral bioavailability coefficient, i.e., the ratio of plasma areas under the curve after oral and i.v. administrations, respectively, was 84%. BF2.649 dose dependently enhanced tele-methylhistamine levels in mouse brain, an index of histaminergic neuron activity, with an ED50 value of 1.6 mg/kg p.o., a response that persisted after repeated administrations for 17 days. In rats, the drug enhanced dopamine and acetylcholine levels in microdialysates of the prefrontal cortex. In cats, it markedly enhanced wakefulness at the expense of sleep states and also enhanced fast cortical rhythms of the electroencephalogram, known to be associated with improved vigilance. On the two-trial object recognition test in mice, a promnesiant effect was shown regarding either scopolamine-induced or natural forgetting. These preclinical data suggest that BF2.649 is a valuable drug candidate to be developed in wakefulness or memory deficits and other cognitive disorders.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Pitolisant (BF2.649) exhibits competitive antagonistic behavior, with a Ki value of 0.16 nM and an inverse EC50, when it comes to stimulating the binding of guanosine 5'-O-(3-[35S]thio)triphosphate to this receptor. The agonist value is 1.5 nM, and the intrinsic activity is roughly 50% higher than that of ciproxifene. Pitolisant has an IC50 value of 26.4±4.5 nM, which is sufficient to displace [125I]iodoproxyfan binding on mouse brain cortical membranes. Pitolisant's derived Ki value is 14±1 nM, based on the radioligand's Kd value of 161±9 pM. Pitolisant, with an IC50 value of 4.2±0.2 nM, displaces [125I]iodoproxyfan binding on the membrane of rat glioma C6 cells that are stably expressing human H3 receptors. Pitolisant's derived Ki value is 2.7±0.5 nM, based on the radioligand's Kd value of 50±4 pM. With a Hill coefficient close to 1 and an IC50 value of 330±68 nM, pitolisant progressively reverses this process, yielding a Ki value of 17±4 nM. With an EC50 value of 1.5±0.1 nM, pitolisant reduces basal specific [35S]GTPγS binding to membranes in a dose-dependent manner, with a maximum impact equal to 75±1% of basal specific binding [1].
ln Vivo
Immobility time in the FST was also considerably impacted by a single dosage of LY170053 (2 mg/kg bw) given 30 minutes prior to a single dose of Pitolisantat (10 mg/kg). When the above medication sequence was subsequently given to mice, the length of immobility was statistically substantially longer than when the time for controls was measured in the footsie test. Moreover, it lessens motor activity. However, in contrast to the locomotor levels in a control group administered Pitolisant alone, the results obtained after 15 administrations of both drugs (Pitolisant 10 mg/kg bw, LY170053 2 mg/kg bw after 30 minutes, and LY170053 2 mg/kg bw after 4 hours) in subchronic treatment showed that administration of Pitolisant followed by LY170053 balanced the locomotor activity of mice. More notably, in the mouse forced swim test, this medication combination dramatically shortened immobility time to levels attained by the control group [one-way ANOVA; F(3,20)=4.226, P=0.0181][2]. Rats administered 10 mg/kg of pitolisant during the conditioning phase spent 502±94 seconds on the paired texture; this number did not differ statistically from the control group, suggesting that pitolisant does not support location preference [3].
