The pharmacological and pharmacokinetic profile of
SB-222200
[(S)-(
)-N-(
-ethylbenzyl)-3-methyl-2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide], a human NK-3 receptor (hNK-3R) antagonist, was determined. SB-222200 inhibited 125I-[MePhe7]neurokinin B (NKB)
binding to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell membranes stably expressing
the hNK-3 receptor (CHO-hNK-3R) with a
Ki = 4.4 nM and antagonized NKB-induced
Ca2+ mobilization in HEK 293 cells stably expressing the
hNK-3 receptor (HEK 293-hNK-3R) with an IC50 = 18.4 nM. SB-222200 was selective for hNK-3 receptors compared with hNK-1
(Ki > 100,000 nM) and hNK-2 receptors
(Ki = 250 nM). In HEK 293 cells
transiently expressing murine NK-3 receptors (HEK 293-mNK-3R),
SB-222200 inhibited binding of
125I-[MePhe7]NKB
(Ki = 174 nM) and antagonized NKB (1 nM)-induced calcium mobilization (IC50 = 265 nM). In
mice oral administration of SB-222200 produced dose-dependent
inhibition of behavioral responses induced by i.p. or intracerebral
ventricular administration of the NK-3 receptor-selective agonist,
senktide, with ED50 values of approximately 5 mg/kg.
SB-222200 effectively crossed the blood-brain barrier in the mouse and
rat. The inhibitory effect of SB-222200 against senktide-induced
behavioral responses in the mouse correlated significantly with brain,
but not plasma, concentrations of the compound. Pharmacokinetic
evaluation of SB-222200 in rat after oral administration (8 mg/kg)
indicated sustained plasma concentrations (Cmax = about 400 ng/ml) and bioavailability of 46%. The preclinical profile
of SB-222200, demonstrating high affinity, selectivity, reversibility,
oral activity, and central nervous system penetration, suggests
that it will be a useful tool compound to define the physiological and
pathophysiological roles of NK-3 receptors, in particular in the
central nervous system.
