Mevidalen (developmental code name LY-3154207) is a dopaminergic drug which is under development for the treatment of Lewy body disease, including those with Parkinson's disease. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

It acts as a selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of the dopamine D1 receptor. [1] [6] The drug is orally active and crosses the blood–brain barrier. [6] It is a tetrahydroisoquinoline and is a close analogue of DETQ, another D1 receptor PAM. [2] [3] [6]

Mevidalen has been found to have wakefulness-promoting effects in sleep-deprived humans. [7] [8] Side effects of mevidalen have been reported to include increased heart rate and blood pressure, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, nervousness, fatigue, headaches, palpitations, and contact dermatitis, as well as falls in those with dementia. [6] [5] [8]

As of November 2023, mevidalen is in phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of Lewy body disease. [1] Besides for movement disorders and dementia, D1 receptor PAMs like mevidalen might have value in the treatment of certain neuropsychiatric disorders, such as depression, excessive somnolence, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dopamine receptor</span> Class of G protein-coupled receptors

Dopamine receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are prominent in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). Dopamine receptors activate different effectors through not only G-protein coupling, but also signaling through different protein interactions. The neurotransmitter dopamine is the primary endogenous ligand for dopamine receptors.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ampakine</span> Subgroup of AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulators

Ampakines or AMPAkines are a subgroup of AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulators with a benzamide or closely related chemical structure. They are also known as "CX compounds". Ampakines take their name from the AMPA receptor (AMPAR), a type of ionotropic glutamate receptor with which the ampakines interact and act as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of. Although all ampakines are AMPAR PAMs, not all AMPAR PAMs are ampakines.

Dopamine receptor D<sub>2</sub> Main receptor for most antipsychotic drugs

Dopamine receptor D2, also known as D2R, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the DRD2 gene. After work from Paul Greengard's lab had suggested that dopamine receptors were the site of action of antipsychotic drugs, several groups, including those of Solomon H. Snyder and Philip Seeman used a radiolabeled antipsychotic drug to identify what is now known as the dopamine D2 receptor. The dopamine D2 receptor is the main receptor for most antipsychotic drugs. The structure of DRD2 in complex with the atypical antipsychotic risperidone has been determined.

Dopamine receptor D<sub>1</sub> Protein-coding gene in humans

<span class="mw-page-title-main">PHCCC</span> Chemical compound

PHCCC is a research drug which acts as a glutamate receptor ligand, particularly being a positive allosteric modulator at the mGluR4 subtype, as well as an agonist at mGluR6. It has anxiolytic effects in animal studies. PHCCC and similar drugs have been suggested as novel treatments for Parkinson's disease.

In pharmacology and biochemistry, allosteric modulators are a group of substances that bind to a receptor to change that receptor's response to stimuli. Some of them, like benzodiazepines or alcohol, function as psychoactive drugs. The site that an allosteric modulator binds to is not the same one to which an endogenous agonist of the receptor would bind. Modulators and agonists can both be called receptor ligands.

VU-0238429 is a drug which acts as a selective positive allosteric modulator for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M5. It was the first selective ligand developed for the M5 subtype, and is structurally derived from older M1-selective positive allosteric modulators such as VU-0119498. Replacing the O-methyl- by a phenyl group further improves the receptor subtype selectivity.

ADX-71149, also known as JNJ-40411813 and JNJ-mGluR2-PAM, is a selective positive allosteric modulator of the mGlu2 receptor. It is being studied by Addex Therapeutics and Janssen Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of schizophrenia. It was also researched by these companies for the treatment of anxious depression, but although some efficacy was observed in clinical trials, it was not enough to warrant further development for this indication. As of 2015, ADX-71149 is in phase II clinical trials for schizophrenia.
