seriously undesirable effects. Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) has emerged as an ideal target for the design of antischizophrenia drugs, with the ability to mediate multiple psychological functions by sensing endogenous amine-containing metabolites without the side effects of catalepsy. In this work, a series of novel TAAR1 agonists were designed based on the structural analysis of the TAAR1 activation
现有的抗精神病药物未能治疗精神分裂症的认知障碍,并引发了许多严重的不良反应。痕量胺相关受体 1 (TAAR1) 已成为抗精神分裂症药物设计的理想靶标,能够通过感知内源性含胺代谢物来介导多种心理功能,而不会产生僵住症的副作用。在这项工作中,基于TAAR1激活口袋的结构分析,设计了一系列新型TAAR1激动剂。其中, 6e表现出有效的TAAR1-G s /G q双通路激活特性,与仅激活TAAR1-G s通路的临床候选药物SEP-363856不同。在啮齿动物模型中, 6e显着减轻 MK-801 诱导的精神分裂症样认知表型,但不会诱发僵直症。此外, 6e·HCl表现出良好的药代动力学( T 1/2 = 2.31 h, F = 39%)和安全特性。这些都表明6e·HCl可作为治疗精神分裂症的新候选药物。
