TAAR; 5-HT1A Receptor
TAAR1 (trace amine-associated receptor 1), 5-HT1A (serotonin 5-HT1A receptor) |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
SEP-363856 (10 μM) has a >50% specific binding inhibition of D2, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT7 receptor[1].
SEP-363856 S-isomer activates TAAR1 and 5-HT1A receptors with high potency. It demonstrates G-protein recruitment and GIRK channel activation at TAAR1, with pEC50 values of approximately 6.08 for Gα recruitment. The S-isomer shows antipsychotic-like activity in preclinical models without significant D2 receptor occupancy, distinguishing it from typical antipsychotics. |
| ln Vivo |
SEP-363856 displays behavioral traits resembling those of well-known antipsychotics and possesses CNS activity at concentrations of 0.3, 1 and 10 mg/kg, i.p. [1]. The oral dosage of SEP-363856 (0.3, 1 and 10 mg/kg) is effective in reducing PCP-induced hyperactivity [1]. REM sleep is reduced, REM sleep latency is increased, and cumulative wake time (W) is increased when SEP-363856 (1, 3 and 10 mg/kg) is administered orally [1].
In vivo, SEP-363856 S-isomer demonstrates antipsychotic-like efficacy in rodent models including inhibition of phencyclidine-induced hyperlocomotion and prepulse inhibition deficits. It produces dose-dependent effects on dopamine and serotonin turnover in brain regions. At doses of 1-30 mg/kg, it is well tolerated and produces sustained receptor engagement. |
| Enzyme Assay |
n Vitro and In Vivo 5-HT1A and D2 Receptor Occupancy Studies.[1] In vitro autoradiography was used to determine the effects of SEP-856 on [3H]-8-OH-DPAT binding to 5-HT1A receptors in rat brain sections. In vivo occupancy of SEP-856 at D2 receptors was measured with [3H]-raclopride in Sprague-Dawley rats and with [18F]-fallypride–positron emission tomography in nonhuman primates. For details, refer to Supplemental Material.[1]
TAAR1 and 5-HT1A receptor binding was assessed using membrane preparations from cells expressing recombinant receptors and radiolabeled ligands. Serial dilutions of SEP-363856 S-isomer were incubated with membranes and radioligand. IC50 values were determined by nonlinear regression analysis. Functional activity was assessed by GTPγS binding and cAMP assays. |
| Cell Assay |
Patch–Clamp Recordings in the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus and Ventral Tegmental Area.[1] In vitro whole–cell patch–clamp recording techniques were used in isolated slice preparations (male C57BL/6J mice, 4–16 weeks) of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) to investigate the effects of SEP-856 on neuronal activity. The experiments examined the effects of SEP-856 (1–30 μM) on the activity of DRN and VTA neurons that were characterized by their electrophysiological properties and/or their sensitivity to application of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (DPAT; 10 μM). Subsequently, effects mediated via the TAAR1 and/or via the 5-HT1A receptor were investigated using the selective antagonist N-(3-Ethoxy-phenyl)-4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-3-trifluoromethyl-benzamide (EPPTB; 0.05–1 μM) and the selective antagonist WAY-100635 (WAY-635; 10 μM), respectively. All compounds were dissolved in either DMSO or ddH2O and diluted with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) to a final concentration from a minimum 1000-fold higher stock concentration (maximum slice DMSO concentration 0.1%). Whole–cell patch–clamp recordings were performed at room temperature using the blind version of the patch–clamp technique with either Axopatch 1D or Multiclamp 700B amplifiers. For detailed methods, refer to the Supplemental Material.[1]
Cells expressing TAAR1 or 5-HT1A (e.g., CHO-K1 or HEK293) were cultured and treated with serial dilutions of SEP-363856 S-isomer. G-protein recruitment was measured by HTRF-based assays. GIRK channel activation was assessed by patch-clamp electrophysiology. cAMP accumulation was measured by luminescence-based assays. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Acute treatment with phencyclidine (PCP) can induce intense hyperactivity in rodents [1].
Doses: 0.3, 1 and 3 mg/kg. Doses: Take once orally. Experimental Results: Dose-dependent inhibition of PCP-induced hyperkinetic responses in C57Bl/6J mice (one-way ANOVA F (5, 59) = 18.96, p < 0.0001; Tukey's post hoc test, p < 0.05) 50% effective dose (ED50) is approximately 0.3 mg/kg. Animal/Disease Models: Male Sprague Dawley rat[1]. Doses: 1, 2 and 5 mg/kg. Mode of Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) (iv)injection. (pharmacokinetic/PK/PK analysis). Experimental Results: Maximum plasma concentrations were reached within 0.5 hrs (hrs (hours)) in mice and rats and within 6 ± 2.83 hrs (hrs (hours)) in monkeys. After oral administration (10 mg/kg), it penetrates the mouse and rat brains with mean brain to plasma AUC ratios of approximately 3, respectively. Rodents (mice or rats) were administered SEP-363856 S-isomer by oral gavage at doses of 1-30 mg/kg. Antipsychotic-like activity was assessed in phencyclidine-induced hyperlocomotion and prepulse inhibition models. Brain tissues were collected for analysis of dopamine and serotonin metabolite levels by HPLC. Receptor occupancy was assessed by ex vivo binding assays. |

| Additional Infomation |
Ulotaront belongs to the thienopyran class of compounds with the molecular formula 4,7-dihydro-5H-thieno[2,3-c]pyran, with a (methylamino)methyl group substituted at the 7S position. It is a trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAR1) and serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonist and has been shown to be effective in patients with schizophrenia. It possesses various pharmacological activities, including as a TAR1 agonist, psychotropic drug, antidepressant, antipsychotic, and serotonergic agonist. It is a secondary amine compound belonging to the thienopyran class. SEP-363856 is a novel psychotropic drug currently under investigation for its efficacy in treating schizophrenia. Unlike other drugs used to treat this disease, SEP-363856 does not bind to dopamine D2 receptors but instead acts on trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) and serotonin 1A receptors (5-HT1A). SEP-363856 was developed by Sunovion Pharmaceuticals. Preliminary clinical studies suggest that this drug may be effective for both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Negative symptoms of schizophrenia are more difficult to treat and may include emotional blunting, anhedonia, and social withdrawal. Further clinical trials of SEP-363856 are needed to confirm its safety and efficacy.
