| Targets |
OX2R (orexin type 2 receptor). As the free base form of TAK-994, this compound acts as a selective OX2R agonist, activating orexin signaling to promote wakefulness.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
As the free base form of the same active pharmaceutical ingredient, this isomer is expected to exhibit essentially the same pharmacological activity as firazorexton (TAK-994), i.e., potent OX2R agonism with high selectivity over OX1R. No comparative potency data between the free base and the hydrate form are available.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity data are reported for this isomer. As the free base of TAK-994, it would be expected to exhibit the same efficacy as TAK-994 in preclinical narcolepsy models, i.e., improving maintenance of wakefulness, reducing cataplexy episodes, and increasing wakefulness time in orexin-deficient mice. However, no published studies specifically using the free base are available.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Cell-free functional assays for OX2R agonism using this compound would follow the same procedures as for firazorexton. Membranes from CHO-K1 cells expressing human OX2R are incubated with 35S-GTPgammaS and increasing concentrations of the test compound in assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) for 60 min at 25degC. Bound radioactivity is separated by filtration, and EC50 values are determined by nonlinear regression.
|
| Cell Assay |
CHO-K1 cells expressing human OX2R are loaded with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye. The test compound is added at increasing concentrations (0.1 nM to 10 uM), and intracellular calcium flux is measured using a FLIPR. The EC50 for OX2R activation is determined from dose-response curves. This isomer is expected to have an EC50 similar to that of firazorexton (sub-nanomolar range).
|
| Animal Protocol |
No specific in vivo animal protocols have been published for this isomer. For the TAK-994 free base, expected in vivo protocols would include oral administration to orexin/ataxin-3 transgenic narcolepsy mice at doses of 3-30 mg/kg, with wakefulness measured by EEG/EMG recordings. Blood and brain samples would be collected at various time points for PK analysis by LC-MS/MS. The free base is the active form of the drug.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No specific PK data are reported for the free base isomer. As the active form of TAK-994, the free base is expected to share the same PK properties as the hydrate form: oral bioavailability, brain-penetration capability, dose-proportional exposure, and Tmax around 1-2 hours post-administration. The free base is the pharmacologically active species that crosses the blood-brain barrier to engage OX2R.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity data are specifically reported for this isomer. The safety profile would be expected to match that of TAK-994 hydrate, which includes hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity that led to termination of clinical development. Renal and urinary adverse events and drug-induced liver injury have been reported for TAK-994. This free base form would carry the same safety liabilities.

| Additional Infomation |
Other information: (2R,3R)-Firazorexton is the free base form of TAK-994 and contains two chiral centers (the 2R,3R configuration). The CAS number is 2692692-00-3. TAK-994 is the hydrate form. This isomer is available for research use only and is not for clinical use. The parent compound TAK-994 was discontinued due to liver and kidney toxicity. This compound is a research chemical and not an FDA-approved drug.
