The in vitro and in vivo pharmacological
profile of SB 223412 [(S)-(
)-N-(
-ethylbenzyl)-3-hydroxy-2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide], a novel human NK-3 (hNK-3) receptor antagonist, is described. SB 223412 demonstrated enantioselective affinity for inhibition of
[125I][MePhe7]neurokinin B (NKB) binding to
membranes of CHO cells expressing the hNK-3 receptor (CHO hNK-3). SB
223412, the (S)-isomer,
(Ki = 1.0 nM), has similar
affinity as the natural ligand, NKB
(Ki = 0.8 nM) and another
nonpeptide NK-3 receptor antagonist, SR 142801 (Ki = 1.2 nM). SB 223412 was
selective for hNK-3 receptors compared with hNK-1 (>10,000-fold
selective) and hNK-2 receptors (>140-fold selective), and selectivity
was further demonstrated by its lack of effect, in concentrations up to
1 or 10 µM, in >60 receptor, enzyme and ion channel assays. SB
223412 enantioselectively inhibited the NKB-induced Ca++
mobilization in HEK 293 cells stably expressing the hNK-3 receptor. SB
223412 (10-1,000 nM) produced concentration-dependent rightward shifts
in NKB-induced Ca++ mobilization concentration-response
curves with a Kb value of 3 nM.
In addition, SB 223412 antagonized senktide-induced contraction in the
isolated rabbit iris sphincter muscle
(Kb = 1.6 nM). In mice, oral
administration of SB 223412 produced dose-dependent inhibition of
behavioral responses induced by the NK-3 receptor-selective agonist,
senktide (ED50 = 12.2 mg/kg). Pharmacokinetic evaluation of
SB 223412 in rat and dog indicated low plasma clearance, oral
bioavailability and high and sustained plasma concentrations after 4 to
8 mg/kg oral dosages. The preclinical profile of SB 223412 (high
affinity, selectivity, reversibility and oral activity) suggests that
it will be a useful tool compound to define the physiological and
pathophysiological roles of NK-3 receptors.
