Solypertine (INN ; developmental code name WIN-18413), also known as solypertine tartrate (USAN ) in the case of the tartrate salt, is a drug described as an antiadrenergic (or adrenolytic/sympatholytic) and as also potentially possessing neuroleptic properties which was never marketed. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Structurally, it is a substituted tryptamine and a piperazinylethylindole. [6] The drug is closely structurally related to other "pertines" including alpertine, milipertine, and oxypertine, which are also tryptamines and piperazinylethylindoles. [6] Solypertine can be synthesized from 5,6-methylenedioxyindole. [7]
The related drug oxypertine shows high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2 and dopamine D2 receptors (Ki = 8.6 nM and 30 nM, respectively) and is also known to act as a catecholamine depleting agent. [8] [9] Oxypertine, milipertine, and solypertine all antagonize the behavioral effects of tryptamine, a serotonin receptor agonist, and apomorphine, a dopamine receptor agonist, in animals. [8] [10] ortho-Methoxyphenylpiperazine (oMeOPP) has been said to be a metabolite of milipertine and oxypertine. [11] [12]
Solypertine was first described in the scientific literature by 1962. [1] [13]
Pertines (class 7; Table 5.12) The pertines oxypertine, solypertine, milipertine, and alpertine are piperazinylethylindoles.
Furthermore, oMeOPP is a metabolite of some prescribed drugs: enciprazione, milipertine, urapidil, dropropizine and oxypertine.[1,47]
