Antinociceptive and pharmacological effects of metanicotine, a selective nicotinic agonist.[Pubmed:10490929]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1999 Oct;291(1):390-8.

Metanicotine [N-methyl-4-(3-pyridinyl)-3-butene-1-amine], a novel neuronal nicotinic agonist, was found to bind with high affinity (K(i) = 24 nM) to rat brain [(3)H]nicotine binding sites and it generalized to nicotine in a dose-dependent manner in the drug discrimination procedure. Metanicotine produced significant antinociceptive effects in mice and rats subjected to either acute thermal (tail-flick), mechanical (paw-pressure), chemical (para-phenylquinone), persistent (Formalin), and chronic (arthritis) pain stimuli. Metanicotine was about 5-fold less potent than nicotine in the tail-flick test after s.c administration, but slightly more potent after central administration. Its duration of action was longer than that of nicotine. Nicotinic antagonists, mecamylamine and dihydro-beta-erythroidine, blocked metanicotine-induced antinociception in the different pain models. However, the antinociceptive effect was not affected by pretreatment with either naloxone or by atropine, confirming that metanicotine exerts its antinociceptive effect via nicotinic rather than either opioid or muscarinic mechanisms. In contrast to nicotine, antinociceptive effects of metanicotine were observed at doses that had virtually no effect on spontaneous activity and body temperature in mice. These data indicate that metanicotine is a centrally acting neuronal nicotinic agonist with preferential antinociceptive effects in animals. Thus, metanicotine and related nicotinic agonists may have great potential for development as a new class of analgesics.

RJR-2403: a nicotinic agonist with CNS selectivity I. In vitro characterization.[Pubmed:8968366]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1996 Dec;279(3):1413-21.

Increasing evidence for an involvement of nicotinic cholinergic systems in neurodegenerative disorders has stimulated the search for compounds with selectivity for CNS nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs). To this end, we have evaluated a number of nicotinic agonists for their ability to 1) bind to and up-regulate high-affinity nAChRs, 2) release [3H]-dopamine or induce 86Rb+ efflux in synaptosomes, 3) activate nAChRs in PC12 cells, 4) activate muscle-type nAChRs in human TE671/RD cells and 5) induce contraction of guinea pig ileum. Our results indicate that (E)-N-methyl-4-(3-pyridinyl)-3-butene-1-amine (RJR-2403) binds with high affinity to rat brain cortex (Ki = 26 +/- 3 nM). Functional studies show that RJR-2403 is comparable to nicotine in activating rat thalamic synaptosomes (EC50 = 732 +/- 155 nM and Emax = 91 +/- 8% for RJR-2403; EC50 = 591 +/- 120 nM and Emax = 100 +/- 25% for nicotine) but is one-tenth as potent in inducing dopamine release (EC50 = 938 +/- 172 nM and Emax = 82 +/- 5% for RJR-2403; EC50 = 100 +/- 25 nM and Emax = 100 +/- 13% for nicotine). At concentrations up to 1 mM, RJR-2403 does not significantly activate nAChRs in PC12 cells, muscle type nAChRs or muscarinic receptors. Dose-response curves for agonist-induced ileum contraction indicate that RJR-2403 is less than one-tenth as potent as nicotine with greatly reduced efficacy. RJR-2403 does not antagonize nicotine-stimulated muscle or ganglionic nAChR function (IC50 > 1 mM). Chronic exposure of M10 cells to RJR-2403 (10 microM) results in an up-regulation of high-affinity nAChRs phenomenologically similar to that seen with nicotine. These results suggest that RJR-2403 interacts with higher potency at CNS nAChR sub-types than at muscle, ganglionic or enteric nAChRs and has higher selectivity for CNS vs. muscle or ganglionic nAChRs than does nicotine.

RJR-2403: a nicotinic agonist with CNS selectivity II. In vivo characterization.[Pubmed:8968367]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1996 Dec;279(3):1422-9.

We have evaluated the physiological and behavioral effects of the CNS-selective nicotinic agonist (E)-N-methyl-4-(3-pyridinyl) -3-butene-1-amine (RJR-2403) using a number of different methods, including 1) reversal of pharmacologically induced amnesia in a step-through passive avoidance paradigm, 2) radial arm maze performance in rats with chemically induced brain lesions, 3) changes in HR and blood pressure in rats and 4) changes in body temperature, Y-maze activity, acoustic startle response and respiration in mice. Our results indicate that RJR-2403 is equal to or better than nicotine on measures of CNS function and cognitive enhancement. Specifically, RJR-2403 significantly improved passive avoidance retention after scopolamine-induced amnesia and enhanced both working and reference memory in rats with ibotenic acid lesions of the forebrain cholinergic projection system in an 8-arm radial maze paradigm. By comparison, RJR-2403 was 15 to 30-fold less potent than nicotine in decreasing body temperature, respiration, Y-maze rears and crosses and acoustic startle response. RJR-2403 also demonstrated greatly reduced cardiovascular effects. RJR-2403 was approximately 10-fold less potent than nicotine in increasing HR and 20-fold less potent in increasing blood pressure. These results are consistent with in vitro data indicating this compound's high selectivity for CNS nicotinic ACh receptor subtypes relative to peripheral ganglionic and muscle-type nicotinic ACh receptors. Therefore, RJR-2403 may be a valuable tool for understanding the central and peripheral pharmacology of nicotinic cholinergic systems as well as a potential lead compound for the development of nicotinic therapeutics to treat neurological diseases where cholinergic neurotransmission has been compromised.
