BRL-44408, a potent (Ki=8.5 nM) and selective (>50-fold) α2A-adrenoceptor antagonist (KB=7.9 nM). BRL-44408 revealed antidepressant- and analgesic-like activity through selective alpha2A-adrenoceptor antagonism. Preclinical characterization of the neurochemical and behavioural profile of BRL-44408 suggests that selective antagonism of alpha2A-adrenoceptors may represent an effective treatment strategy for mood disorders and visceral pain. BRL-44408 increases hippocampal noradrenalin release following systemic administration. BRL-44408 has potential therapeutic application in the treatment of extrapyramidal side effects produced by some antipsychotic medications.
CNS Activity
Curator's Comment: In rats, BRL-44408 penetrated the central nervous system resulting in peak brain and plasma concentrations of 586 ng/g and 1124 ng/ml, respectively. In the forced swim test and schedule-induced polydipsia assay, BRL-44408 produced an antidepressant-like response by dose-dependently decreasing immobility time and adjunctive water intake, respectively, while in a model of visceral pain, BRL-44408 exhibited analgesic activity by decreasing para-phenylquinone (PPQ)-induced abdominal stretching.

Sample Use Guides
Rats: in the FST (forced swim test), acute treatment with BRL-44408 (3–30 mg/
kg i.p.) produced a significant decrease in immobility
time relative to vehicle-treated animals. BRL-44408 at both 10 and 30 mg/kg
significantly decreased immobility time by 30% and 49%, respectively. Acute pretreatment with BRL-44408 (1–30 mg/kg,
i.p.) produced a dose-dependent reversal of PPQinduced
stretching behaviour relative to vehicle. BRL-44408 at 10 and 30 mg/kg produced a
significant blockade of PPQ-induced stretching by
32% and 52%, respectively.

In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: Subtype-selective antagonists were used to determine the subtype of alpha2-adrenoceptor controlling noradrenaline release in rat locus coeruleus. Noradrenaline release was measured in locus coeruleus slices using fast cyclic voltammetry at carbon fibre microelectrodes.
On long stimulation trains (40 pulses, 20 Hz), the alpha2A-adrenoceptor selective antagonist BRL-44408 at 100 nM and 1 uM significantly increased stimulated noradrenaline release.
