Biological Activity of Cariprazine

DescriptionCariprazine is a novel antipsychotic drug candidate that exhibits high affinity for the D3 (Ki=0.085 nM) and D2 (Ki=0.49 nM) receptors, and moderate affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor (Ki=2.6 nM).In Vitro:Cariprazine stimulates inositol phosphate (IP) formation with a high potency (pEC50 8.5) with relatively low efficacy (Emax 30%)[2]. Cariprazine, a novel candidate antipsychotic, demonstrated approximately 10-fold higher affinity for human D3 versus human D2L and human D2S receptors (pKi 10.07, 9.16, and 9.31, respectively). Cariprazine displays high affinity at human serotonin (5-HT) type 2B receptors (pKi 9.24) with pure antagonism. Cariprazine has lower affinity at human and rat hippocampal 5-HT1A receptors (pKi 8.59 and 8.34, respectively) and demonstrates low intrinsic efficacy. Cariprazine displays low affinity at human 5-HT2A receptors (pKi 7.73). Moderate or low affinity for histamine H1 and 5-HT2C receptors (pKi 7.63 and 6.87, respectively) suggest Cariprazine's reduced propensity for adverse events related to these receptors[2]. Cariprazine is over sixfold more potent (EC50=1.4 nM) than Aripiprazole (EC50=9.2 nM) in inhibiting isoproterenol-induced cAMP production in HEK-293 cells[4].In Vivo:Administration of Cariprazine (30 µg/kg) reduces the striatal uptake of both radioligands to the level of nonspecific binding compared with baseline PET measurements. Cariprazine has negligible effect on the time-activity curves in the cerebellum. At doses of 5.0 and 30 µg/kg, Cariprazine causes a dose-dependent dopamine D2/D3 receptor occupancy of ~45% and ~80% for both antagonist [11C] raclopride and agonist radioligand [11C]MNPA. Receptor occupancy of dopamine D2/D3 receptors calculated using the transient equilibrium and the MRTM2 methods ranged from 5% at the lowest dose (1.0 µg/kg) to 94% at the highest dose (300 µg/kg)[1]. The effects of 5 doses of Cariprazine (ranging from 0.005 to 0.15 mg/kg) are examined on EPM behavior of wild-type mice. Whereas lower doses of Cariprazine (0.005 to 0.02 mg/kg) do not alter the time spent in open arms, the two higher doses (0.08 and 0.15 mg/kg) lead to a significant decline of this measure (ANOVA, (F(5,52)=4.20; p=0.0032)). Moreover, the two higher doses of Cariprazine also lead to a significant decrease in the total number of arm entries (F(5,52)=7.21; p=0.0001)) but this decrease in the total number of arm entries is largely accounted for by a significant decrease in the number of closed arm entries (F(5,52)=11.75; p=0.0001)). The two highest doses of Cariprazine (0.08 and 0.15 mg/kg) have significant effects on locomotor activity, but doses ranging from 0.005 to 0.02 mg/kg do not affect anxiety-like behavior or locomotor activity in the EPM test[3]. A significant (P<0.01) reduction in ouabain-induced hyperactivity is observed after acute i.p. administration of all doses of Cariprazine (mean±SEM: 0.06 mg/kg, 64.2±3.88; 0.25 mg/kg, 72.7±11.67; 0.5 mg/kg, 40.6±5.32; 1 mg/kg, 19.5±8.78) and lithium (40.4±12.78), compared with ouabain injection alone (114.6±14.33). The highest Cariprazine dose produced significant sedation (72% inhibition for Cariprazine 1.0 mg/kg aCSF vs. saline aCSF; P<0.05)[4].

Protocol

Kinase Assay [2]
These assays are done in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 7 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, and 1 mM DTT. Assay tubes (final volume 250 μL) contain 50 μM (striatum and hippocampus) or 1 μM (D2 and D3 cell membrane) GDP, the ligand to be examined, and membrane suspension (250 μg tissue/tube for the striatum and hippocampus and 20 μg protein/tube for hD2 and hD3 membranes). Samples are preincubated for 10 min at 30°C. After the addition of 50 pM [35S]GTPγS, membranes are incubated for an additional 60 min at 30°C. Nonspecific binding is determined in the presence of 10 μM GTPγS; basal binding is determined in the presence of buffer only. The assay is terminated by rapid filtration through UniFilter GF/B using a harvester, and the membranes washed four times with 1 mL of ice-cold buffer. After drying (40°C for 1 h), 40 μL of Microscint is added to the filters, and the bound radioactivity is determined by a TopCount NXT counter[2].

Cell Assay [2]
Cells are seeded on a 24-well tissue culture plate in 500 μL of medium. Fifty microliters of medium containing 0.55 μCi myo-[3H]inositol is added (final concentration 1 μCi/mL) and incubated for 18-20 h. Cells are then washed three times with buffer containing 140 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 5 mM HEPES, 5 mM Na-HEPES, 20 mM glucose, and 10 mM LiCl (pH 7.4). Cells are then incubated for an additional 60 min (37°C) in medium with test compounds alone (agonist test) or alongside 1000 nM (±)-Quinpirole (antagonist test). Medium is then aspirated off, cells are lysed by adding 400 μL of 0.1 M HCl/2 mM CaCl2, and supernatants are frozen at −72°C. After thawing and centrifugation at 1000g for 10 min, 200 μL of each supernatant is loaded on 250 μL of AG1-X8 (formate form) anion exchange column. Effluent is discarded, and columns are washed twice in 1.5 mL of distilled water. IPs are eluted with 2.5 mL of 1 M ammonium formate/0.1 M formic acid directly into scintillation vials, 10 mL of Optiphase HiSafe 3 is added, and the radioactivity is determined in a TriCarb 4900 scintillation counter[2].

Animal Administration [3][4]
Mice[3] Experiments are performed on wild-type C57Bl/6J mice. In tests of cognitive functions, it is essential to employ concentrations of drugs that have no effects on emotional behavior and that do not impair locomotor activity. Whether Cariprazine (administered at a dose range of 0.005 to 0.15 mg/kg) is first tested affected the behavior of mice in the EPM, a test of anxiety-related behavior that is also critically dependent upon normal locomotor activity. Animals are exposed to an EPM apparatus designed for mice (leg height: 45 cm, arm length: 35 cm, lane width: 5 cm, wall height: 15 cm). Testing (under 100 lux lighting) is performed between 1 and 4 PM. Mice are placed in the center of the maze and their time spent in open arms and the number of closed and open arm entries during a 5 min test period is recorded. Measures of the time spent in open arms and the number of open arm entries served as a measure of anxiety-like behavior. The number of closed arm entries served as a measure of locomotor activity. Rats[4] Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (150-300 g) are used. Cariprazine is dissolved in 0.9% saline and administered at 0.06, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/kg via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection 1 h before i.c.v. injection of ouabain and daily thereafter for 7 days. Open field activity is assessed immediately following the i.c.v. injection and again after 7 days (the activity is noted 10-14 h after the last i.p. injection of Cariprazine).

Background on Cariprazine

Description: IC50 Value: 0.5 and 0.09 nM (Ki for D2 and D3 receptor respectively); 2.6 and 180 nM(Ki for 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor respectively) [1] Cariprazine is a novel antipsychotic drug candidate that exhibits high selectivity and affinity to dopamine D(3) and D(2) receptors and moderate affinity to serotonin 5-HT(1A) receptors. in vitro: Cariprazine had lower affinity at human and rat hippocampal 5-HT(1A) receptors (pK(i) 8.59 and 8.34, respectively) and demonstrated low intrinsic efficacy.Cariprazine displayed low affinity at human 5-HT(2A) receptors (pK(i) 7.73). Moderate or low affinity for histamine H(1) and 5-HT(2C) receptors (pK(i) 7.63 and 6.87, respectively) suggest cariprazine's reduced propensity for adverse events related to these receptors [2]. in vivo: Doses ≥ 1.5 mg/d yielded 69 - 75% D2/D3 receptor occupancy as measured in positron emission tomography scans. Mean half-life for cariprazine was 2 - 5 d over a dose range of 1.5 - 12.5 mg [3]. Cariprazine, as well as aripiprazole and bifeprunox, were able to reduce the rewarding effect of cocaine (minimum effective doses were 0.17, 1, and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively) and attenuated relapse to cocaine seeking with half maximal effective dose [ED??] values of 0.2, 4.2, and 0.17 mg/kg, respectively [4]. Toxicity: In the fixed-dose study of cariprazine that tested 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mg/day, the most commonly encountered adverse events were insomnia, extrapyramidal disorder, sedation, akathisia, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, anxiety, and constipation [5]. Clinical trial: Cariprazine is in phase III clinical trials in patients with schizophrenia and in patients with bipolar disorder.

Cariprazine versus risperidone monotherapy for treatment of predominant negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia: a randomised, double-blind, controlled trial.[Pubmed:28185672]

Lancet. 2017 Mar 18;389(10074):1103-1113.

BACKGROUND: Although predominant negative symptoms of schizophrenia can be severe enough to cause persistent impairment, effective treatment options are lacking. We aimed to assess the new generation antipsychotic Cariprazine in adult patients with predominant negative symptoms. METHODS: In this randomised, double-blind, phase 3b trial, we enrolled adults aged 18-65 years with long-term (>2 year), stable schizophrenia and predominant negative symptoms (>6 months) at 66 study centres (mainly hospitals and university clinics, with a small number of private practices) in 11 European countries. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) by an interactive web response system to 26 weeks of monotherapy with fixed-dose oral Cariprazine (3 mg, 4.5 mg [target dose], or 6 mg per day) or risperidone (3 mg, 4 mg [target dose], or 6 mg per day); previous medication was discontinued over 2 weeks. The primary outcome was change from baseline to week 26 or end of treatment on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale factor score for negative symptoms (PANSS-FSNS) analysed in a modified intention-to-treat population of patients who had follow-up assessments within 5 days after last receipt of study drugs with a mixed-effects model for repeated measures. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This study is registered with EudraCT, number 2012-005485-36. FINDINGS: Between May 27, 2013, and Nov 17, 2014, 533 patients were screened and 461 (86%) patients were randomised to treatment (230 for Cariprazine and 231 for risperidone); 460 were included in the safety population (one patient discontinued before study drug intake). 227 (99%) of 230 patients in the Cariprazine group and 229 (99%) of 230 patients in the risperidone group were included in the modified intention-to-treat population (178 [77%] in each group completed 26 weeks of treatment). Mean daily doses were 4.2 mg (SD 0.6) for Cariprazine and 3.8 mg (0.4) for risperidone. Treatment-emergent adverse events (eg, insomnia, akathisia, worsening of schizophrenia, headache, anxiety) were reported in 123 (54%) patients treated with Cariprazine and 131 (57%) patients treated with risperidone. Use of Cariprazine led to a greater least squares mean change in PANSS-FSNS from baseline to week 26 than did risperidone (-8.90 points for Cariprazine vs -7.44 points for risperidone; least squares mean difference -1.46, 95% CI -2.39 to -0.53; p=0.0022; effect size 0.31). One patient in the risperidone group died of a cause regarded as unrelated to treatment. INTERPRETATION: Our results support the efficacy of Cariprazine in the treatment of predominant negative symptoms of schizophrenia. FUNDING: Gedeon Richter Plc.

Long-term effects of aripiprazole exposure on monoaminergic and glutamatergic receptor subtypes: comparison with cariprazine.[Pubmed:28059046]

CNS Spectr. 2017 Dec;22(6):484-494.

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the chronic effects of aripiprazole and Cariprazine on serotonin (5-HT1A and 5-HT2A) and glutamate (NMDA and AMPA) receptor subtypes. In addition, the effects of aripiprazole on D2 and D3 receptors were tested and compared with previously reported Cariprazine data. METHODS: Rats received vehicle, aripiprazole (2, 5, or 15 mg/kg), or Cariprazine (0.06, 0.2, or 0.6 mg/kg) for 28 days. Receptor levels were quantified using autoradiographic assays on brain sections from the medial prefrontal cortex (MPC), dorsolateral frontal cortex (DFC), nucleus accumbens (NAc), caudate-putamen medial (CPu-M), caudate-putamen lateral (CPu-L), hippocampal CA1 (HIPP-CA1) and CA3 (HIPP-CA3) regions, and the entorhinal cortex (EC). RESULTS: Similar to previous findings with Cariprazine, aripiprazole upregulated D2 receptor levels in various regions; D3 receptor changes were less than those reported with Cariprazine. All aripiprazole doses and higher Cariprazine doses increased 5-HT1A receptors in the MPC and DFC. Higher aripiprazole and all Cariprazine doses increased 5-HT1A receptors in HIPP-CA1 and HIPP-CA3. Aripiprazole decreased 5-HT2A receptors in the MPC, DFC, HIPP-CA1, and HIPP-CA3 regions. Both compounds decreased NMDA receptors and increased AMPA receptors in select brain regions. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term administration of aripiprazole and Cariprazine had similar effects on 5-HT1A, NMDA, and AMPA receptors. However, Cariprazine more profoundly increased D3 receptors while aripiprazole selectively reduced 5-HT2A receptors. These results suggest that the unique actions of Cariprazine on dopamine D3 receptors, combined with its effects on serotonin and glutamate receptor subtypes, may confer the clinical benefits, safety, and tolerability of this novel compound in schizophrenia and bipolar mania.

Brexpiprazole and cariprazine: distinguishing two new atypical antipsychotics from the original dopamine stabilizer aripiprazole.[Pubmed:28101322]

Ther Adv Psychopharmacol. 2017 Jan;7(1):29-41.

BACKGROUND: Brexpiprazole and Cariprazine are the latest US Food and Drug Administration approved atypical antipsychotics available in the United States. Both function as partial agonists of the dopamine-2 receptor (D2R), a mechanism of action shared with aripiprazole. However, all three differ in their affinities for the D2R as well as for serotonin receptors (5-HTRs). This paper seeks to delineate these pharmacodynamic and clinical differences amongst the three dopamine partial agonist atypical antipsychotic drugs. METHODS: PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov searches were used to generate preclinical and clinical evidence for review. Data derived from animal models and human subjects were used to provide insight on clinical mechanisms and adverse effect potentials. Clinical trial data were reviewed to compare clinical efficacy and adverse effects. RESULTS: Efficacies among the three drugs are comparable for their shared indications. Side-effect profile and underlying pharmacodynamic mechanism of action for each drug may differ. CONCLUSION: Partial agonism of the D2R is a similarity of the three drugs reviewed. Each drug varies in affinity for both the D2R and a diverse group of 5-HTRs, generating a distinct profile of clinical indications and adverse effects for each.

Description

Cariprazine is a novel antipsychotic drug candidate that exhibits high affinity for the D3 (Ki=0.085 nM) and D2 (Ki=0.49 nM) receptors, and moderate affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor (Ki=2.6 nM).
