Description

Idalopirdine (Lu AE58054) is a Serotonin 6 receptor (5-HT6) antagonist. Idalopirdine exrets good oral bioavailability and robust efficacy in a rat model of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. In rats idalopirdine potentiates the effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil on two pharmacodynamic biomarkers associated with cognition, i.e. neuronal oscillations and extracellular ACh levels in the hippocampus. Such potentiation could contribute to the procognitive effects of idalopirdine observed in donepezil-treated Alzheimer's disease patients. The compound is being developed by Lundbeck as an adjunctive therapy with acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil, and is in phase III development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in multiple countries worldwide. A phase II trial for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia was conducted; however no recent reports of development for idalopirdine have been identified.
