PF-04455242 is an experimental κ-opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist which was under development by Pfizer for the treatment of bipolar depression but was never marketed.[1][2][3] Its development was discontinued in early clinical trials.[2][3] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Pharmacology

[edit]

The drug is a selective KOR antagonist and shows approximately 10- to 20-fold higher affinity for the KOR (Ki = 1–3 nM) over the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) (Ki = 10–64 nM) and has negligible affinity for the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) (Ki > 4,000 nM).[2][3] It is a "short-acting" or non-inactivating antagonist of the KOR (as opposed to irreversible antagonists like JDTic).[4] Although originally characterized as a KOR neutral antagonist however, subsequent research revealed in 2020 that PF-04455242 is actually only a moderately efficacious partial antagonist of the KOR (Imax ≈ 50%).[5] In any case, the drug reversed the analgesic and prolactin-elevating effects of the KOR agonist spiradoline in animals, showed efficacy in animal models predictive of antidepressant activity, and reversed stress-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior.[2][3] However, PF-04455242 also showed a variety of other weak off-target activities.[2][3]

Clinical studies

[edit]

PF-04455242 reached phase 1 clinical trials for bipolar depression prior to the discontinuation of its development in 2010.[1][3] Its development was discontinued upon unfavorable toxicological findings in animals that had been exposed to the drug for 3 months.[2][3] Along with JDTic, which was also discontinued due to toxicity findings early in clinical trials, PF-04455242 was one of the first KOR antagonists to be developed for potential treatment of psychiatric disorders.[2] It was in phase 1 trials by 2009[1] and was first described in the scientific literature by 2010.[6][7][8]

Although PF-04455242 is reported to be a full antagonist in heterologous systems [36], we found that it only partially blocked the U-69,593 responses in the electrophysiology assay (Fig 1B). We observed a maximal blockade asymptoting towards 45% of the baseline U-69,593 responses by 100 nM PF-04455242. The concentration of PF-04455242 that produced half of the maximum effect for this antagonist is 6.7 ± 15.1 nM. These data indicate that PF-04455242 is a partial antagonist in this tissue. [...] PF-04455242 showed some unexpected results in the characterization studies performed here compared to previously described pharmacological properties [27, 36]. First, we found it to only have partial antagonist action, with maximal blockade of the U-69,593 response plateauing at approximately 50%. [...] Together, these observations indicate PF-04455242 is quite different from a neutral KOR selective antagonist.
