Mesdopetam (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code names IRL-790, IPN60170) is a dopamine D2 and D3 receptor antagonist with preference for the D3 receptor which is under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, drug-induced dyskinesia, and psychotic disorders. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] It has been described by its developers as having "psychomotor stabilizing" properties. [7] [8]

Pharmacology

The described intention behind mesdopetam was to develop a novel dopamine D2 and D3 receptor antagonist based on agonist- rather than antagonist-like structural motifs and with agonist-like physicochemical properties (e.g., smaller molecular size, greater hydrophilicity). [3] [9] [6] It was hypothesized that this would result in an antagonist with specific dopamine receptor interactions more similar to those of agonists like dopamine but without any intrinsic activity, in turn resulting in different in vivo effects than conventional dopamine receptor antagonists. [9] [6] Specifically, antidyskinetic and antipsychotic effects with fewer or no motor side effects was sought. [6] There is also extensive preclinical research to suggest that D3 receptor antagonists reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesia without compromising the antiparkinsonian effects of levodopa. [3]

Mesdopetam has 6- to 8-fold preference for the dopamine D3 receptor (Ki = 90 nM) over the dopamine D2 receptor (Ki = 540–750 nM). [4] [6] It displays a paradoxical agonist-like binding mode in spite of its lack of activational efficacy. [3] [9] [6] By antagonizing D3 autoreceptors, D3 receptor antagonists like mesdopetam have been found to disinhibit dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex, ventral tegmental area, and striatum, which might be involved in the possible therapeutic benefits of these agents. [4] [6] The drug is also a ligand of the sigma σ1 receptor (Ki = 870 nM) and has some affinity for certain serotonin receptors including the serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. [3] [6] In animals, mesdopetam has no effect on spontaneous locomotor activity at assessed doses but antagonizes levodopa-induced dyskinesia and reduces dextroamphetamine- and dizocilpine-induced locomotor hyperactivity. [6]

Side effects

Side effects of mesdopetam in clinical trials have been reported to include worsened parkinsonism, headache, fatigue, asthenia, and dissociation. [5] [1]

Clinical development

Mesdopetam was first described in the literature in 2012. [6] [10] As of September 2024, it is in phase 2/3 clinical trials for Parkinson's disease, phase 1 trials for drug-induced dyskinesia, and is in preclinical development for psychotic disorders (specifically Parkinson's disease psychosis). [2] [11] It is also of interest for potential treatment of impulse control disorders. [11] In 2019, mesdopetam received an INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name with a novel -"dopetam" suffix supposedly representing a new mechanism of action among dopamine receptor modulators. [12] In 2023, it was reported that mesdopetam failed to meet a primary anti-dyskinetic endpoint in a phase 2b trial. [3] However, indications of efficacy were still seen and a phase 3 trial is being planned. [3] No dopamine D3 receptor antagonists have yet completed development or been approved for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. [3]

A dopamine antagonist, also known as an anti-dopaminergic and a dopamine receptor antagonist (DRA), is a type of drug which blocks dopamine receptors by receptor antagonism.

Several other dopamine antagonists are antiemetics used in the treatment of nausea and vomiting.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dopamine agonist</span> Compound that activates dopamine receptors

A dopamine agonist is a compound that activates dopamine receptors. There are two families of dopamine receptors, D1-like and D2-like. They are all G protein-coupled receptors. D1- and D5-receptors belong to the D1-like family and the D2-like family includes D2, D3 and D4 receptors. Dopamine agonists are primarily used in the treatment of the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, and to a lesser extent, in hyperprolactinemia and restless legs syndrome. They are also used off-label in the treatment of clinical depression. Impulse control disorders are associated with the use of dopamine agonists for whatever condition.

OSU-6162 (PNU-96391) is a compound which acts as a partial agonist at both dopamine D2 receptors and 5-HT2A receptors. It acts as a dopamine stabilizer in a similar manner to the closely related drug pridopidine, and has antipsychotic, anti-addictive and anti-Parkinsonian effects in animal studies. Both enantiomers show similar activity but with different ratios of effects, with the (S) enantiomer (–)-OSU-6162 that is more commonly used in research, having higher binding affinity to D2 but is a weaker partial agonist at 5-HT2A, while the (R) enantiomer (+)-OSU-6162 has higher efficacy at 5-HT2A but lower D2 affinity.

Peripherally selective drugs have their primary mechanism of action outside of the central nervous system (CNS), usually because they are excluded from the CNS by the blood–brain barrier. By being excluded from the CNS, drugs may act on the rest of the body without producing side-effects related to their effects on the brain or spinal cord. For example, most opioids cause sedation when given at a sufficiently high dose, but peripherally selective opioids can act on the rest of the body without entering the brain and are less likely to cause sedation. These peripherally selective opioids can be used as antidiarrheals, for instance loperamide (Imodium).

GSK-598809 is a selective dopamine D3 receptor antagonist that is or was under development for the treatment of substance-related disorders, smoking withdrawal, and eating disorders like binge eating disorder.

Pirepemat is a drug which is under development for the prevention of falls in people with Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease dementia. It has been referred to as a "nootrope".
