5-HT2 Agonist: Understanding

5-HT2 Agonist: Overview

5-HT2 (5-hydroxytryptamine 2) agonists are a class of drugs that specifically target and activate the 5-HT2 receptors, which are a subtype of serotonin receptors found in the central nervous system. Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is a neurotransmitter involved in various physiological processes, including mood regulation, cognition, and sensory perception. The 5-HT2 receptor subfamily consists of three main subtypes: 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C.

5-HT2 agonists bind to and activate the 5-HT2 receptors, leading to a cascade of intracellular signaling events. These receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and their activation can modulate the activity of various downstream signaling pathways, including phospholipase C (PLC), protein kinase C (PKC), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways.

5-HT2 receptors are integral membrane proteins with seven transmembrane domains that mediate the effects of serotonin and other ligands. Their structure enables ligand binding, G protein coupling, and activation of intracellular signaling pathways, leading to diverse physiological and pharmacological responses. Understanding the structure and function of 5-HT2 receptors is essential for the development of therapeutic agents targeting these receptors and for elucidating their roles in health and disease.

Targeting 5-HT2 receptors with agonists has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach across various medical domains due to the receptors' pivotal roles in modulating physiological processes. One notable application lies in psychiatry, where 5-HT2A agonists have shown potential as antidepressants and anxiolytics. Compounds like psilocybin, found in psychedelic mushrooms, and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) have demonstrated efficacy in treating mood disorders and anxiety when administered under controlled settings. Additionally, 5-HT2C agonists are being explored for their potential in managing obesity and related metabolic disorders by regulating appetite and energy balance. In the realm of neurology, 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C agonists are investigated for their role in migraine management due to their vasoconstrictive properties. Moreover, 5-HT2B agonists are being researched for their potential cardioprotective effects in conditions like heart failure. Despite their therapeutic promise, the clinical utility of 5-HT2 agonists necessitates careful consideration of their psychotropic effects and potential adverse reactions, underscoring the importance of rigorous research and controlled administration in optimizing their therapeutic benefits.

5-HT2 Agonist Emerging Drugs

• CYB003: Cybin

CYB003 is a proprietary deuterated molecule related to psilocybin, which is part of a family of molecules called indolamines that includes more common neurotransmitters like serotonin. CYB003 is a new chemical entity (NCE) and has been granted FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of MDD. The company is planning to initiate a Phase III pivotal multinational trial of CYB003 in MDD by mid-2024.

• RE104: Reunion Neuroscience

RE104 is a potential best-in-class, short duration, patented prodrug of 4-OH-DiPT, a psilocybin-like compound. RE104 targets the serotonin 2A receptor (5HT2AR), which is the recognized target for the antidepressant effects of psychedelic compounds. RE104 is protected under U.S. Patent No. 11,292,765 issued on April 5, 2022 (priority June 30, 2020), with claims for composition of matter, methods of manufacturing, formulations, and methods of use for a genus of hemiester tryptamines, including RE104, which could provide protection up to June 30, 2041. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Postpartum Depression.

• BETR-001: BetterLife Pharma

BETR-001 is BetterLife’s proprietary 2-bromo-LSD, a non-hallucinogenic derivative of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). . Recent milestones include the completion of IND-enabling cardio-pulmonary GLP studies, with metabolism and genotoxicity GLP studies set to commence shortly. To bolster these efforts, the company secured a substantial USD 1.168 million convertible debenture financing. Furthermore, they've expedited the US patent process for BETR-001 and other LSD derivatives to streamline regulatory pathways. BETR-001 is currently undergoing non-clinical studies aimed at achieving Investigational New Drug (IND) status, targeting conditions like treatment-resistant depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and cluster headaches, where effective treatments are lacking.
