Mosapride citrate is a gastroprokinetic agent that acts as a selective 5HT4 agonist.Target: 5HT4 Mosapride is a gastroprokinetic agent that acts as a selective 5HT4 agonist. The major active metabolite of mosapride, known as M1, additionally acts as a 5HT3 antagonist, which accelerates gastric emptying throughout the whole of the gastrointestinal tract in humans, and is used for the treatment of gastritis, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. It is recommended to be taken on an empty stomach (i.e. at least one hour before food or two hours after food).In addition to its prokinetic properties, mosapride also exerts anti-inflammatory effects on the gastrointestinal tract which may contribute to some of its therapeutic effects. Mosapride also promotes neurogenesis in the gastrointestinal tract which may prove useful in certain bowel disorders. The neurogenesis is due to mosapride's effect on the 5-HT4 receptor where it acts as an agonist.Its common side effects include dry mouth, abdominal pain, dizziness, headache, insomnia, malaise, nausea, diarrhoea and sometimes constipation. Unlike some other prokinetic agents, mosapride has little effect on potassium channels, no effect on hERG transfected cells, and no effect on cardiovascular function that could be detected in tests on humans. Due to the pharmacokinetics of mosapride, it would take 1,000 - 3,000 times the therapeutic dose to elicit cardiovascular effects.
Fluvoxamine maleate is an antidepressant which functions pharmacologically as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.Target: SSRIsFluvoxamine (maleate) is the maleate salt form of fluvoxamine, which is effective in inhibiting 5-HT uptake by blood platelets and brain synaptosomes. The antagonism by fluvoxamine of the reserpine-induced lowering of the pentamethylenetetrazole convulsive threshold can be regarded as due to an effect upon 5-HT uptake. In contrast to the effects of desmethylimipramine and imipramine, no stimulatory effects are found in rats when rapidly acting reserpine-like compounds are given following a dose of fluvoxamine [1]. fluvoxamine appears to improve combat-related PTSD symptoms but not depressive symptoms. The high attrition rate and lack of a placebo group limits the conclusions of our study. Controlled studies of fluvoxamine in the treatment of PTSD are warranted [2]. Fluvoxamine was less potent at decreasing ethanol self-administration when food was available concurrently versus when ethanol was available in isolation [ED50: 4.0 (2.7-5.9) and 5.1 (4.3-6.0)]. Effects on food were similar under each condition in which food was available. The results demonstrate that the potency of fluvoxamine in reducing ethanol-maintained behavior depends on whether ethanol is available in isolation or in the context of concurrently scheduled food reinforcement [3].Clinical indications: Depression; Obsessive compulsive disorder; Social phobia " FDA Approved Date: December 5, 1994Toxicity: Anorexia, Constipation, Dry mouth, Headache, Nausea, Nervousness, Skin rash, Sleep problems, Somnolence, Liver toxicity, Mania, Increase urination, Seizures, Sweating increase, Tremors, or Tourette's syndrome.

Betahistine Dihydrochloride is a histamine H3 receptors inhibitor used as an antivertigo drug.Target: Histamine ReceptorBetahistine, a structural analogue of histamine with weak histamine H(1) receptor agonist and more potent H(3) receptor antagonist properties. Betahistine acts centrally by enhancing histamine synthesis within tuberomammillary nuclei of the posterior hypothalamus and histamine release within vestibular nuclei through antagonism of H(3) autoreceptors [1].Therapeutic effects of betahistine in vestibular disorders result from its antagonist properties at histamine H(3) receptors (H(3)Rs). On inhibition of cAMP formation and [(3)H]arachidonic acid release, betahistine behaved as a nanomolar inverse agonist and a micromolar agonist. After acute oral administration, Betahistine increased t-MeHA levels with an ED(50) of 2 mg/kg, a rightward shift probably caused by almost complete first-pass metabolism. Therapeutic effects of betahistine result from an enhancement of histamine neuron activity induced by inverse agonism at H(3) autoreceptors [2].

UPF-648 sodium salt is a potent kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) inhibitor; exhibits highly active at 1 uM (81 ± 10% KMO inhibition); ineffective at blocking KAT activity.IC50 value: 1 uM(81 ± 10 % inhibition) [1]Target: KMO inhibitorin vitro: BFF 122 inhibited KAT activity almost completely at both 1 and 0.1 mM. The effect was still remarkable at 0.01 mM (70 ± 1 % inhibition). At the same three concentrations, BFF 122 did not affect KMO activity significantly. In contrast, UPF 648 totally blocked KMO at 0.1 and 0.01 mM and was still highly active at 0.001 mM (81 ± 10 % inhibition), but the compound was essentially ineffective at blocking KAT activity [1]. UPF 648 binds close to the FAD cofactor and perturbs the local active-site structure, preventing productive binding of the substrate l-kynurenine. Functional assays and targeted mutagenesis reveal that the active-site architecture and UPF 648 binding are essentially identical in human KMO, validating the yeast KMO-UPF 648 structure as a template for structure-based drug design [3].in vivo: Applying an identical experimental design, separate rats were used to study the effect of KMO inhibition on the de novo synthesis of KP metabolites in the lesioned striatum. These animals were bilaterally injected with 0.1 mM UPF 648 and 3H-kynurenine in PBS. 0.1 mM UPF 648 significantly reduced the neosynthesis of 3-HK and QUIN in the lesioned striatum (by 77 % and 66%, respectively) and moderately (27%) but significantly increased the de novo formation of KYNA [1]. Administered to pregnant rats or mice on the last day of gestation, UPF 648 (50 mg/kg, i.p.) produced qualitatively similar changes (i.e., large increases in kynurenine and KYNA and reductions in 3-HK and QUIN) in the brain and liver of the offspring. Rat pups delivered by UPF 648-treated mothers and immediately exposed to neonatal asphyxia showed further enhanced brain KYNA levels [2]. UPF 648, has an IC50 of 20 nM and provides protection against intrastriatal QUIN injections in kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT II) deficient mice. UPF 648 treatment also shifts KP metabolism towards enhanced neuroprotective KYNA formation [3].
