Preparation and Evaluation of New Ligands Targeting Organic Cation Transporters in the Central Nervous System for the Treatment of Depression
Monteiro, Andrea ; Roh, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Vávrová, Kateřina (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry Student: Andrea Monteiro Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. PharmDr. Jaroslav Roh, Ph.D. Specialized supervisors: Nicolas Pietrancosta, Ph.D. Sophie Gautron, Ph.D. Title: Preparation and Evaluation of New Ligands Targeting Organic Cation Transporters in the Central Nervous System for the Treatment of Depression Brain organic cation transporters (OCT2, OCT3) are polyspecific facilitated diffusion transporters that regulate aminergic tonus and have a complementary role to high-affinity monoamine transporters (serotonine transporter SERT, noradrenaline transporter NET and dopamine transporter DAT) in monoamine clearance in the brain. Their complementary characteristics compared to the high-affinity transporters (widespread distribution, broader pharmacological profile) and their involvement in mood-related functions make brain OCT relevant and original targets for the development of novel antidepressants. H2-cyanome is a newly developed prodrug of cyanome that targets OCT. This prodrug showed promising antidepressant efficacy in a rodent model of chronic depression. Despite the positive impact of this prodrug on antidepressant efficacy, its limitation is its high affinity for 1 adrenergic receptors that may...
