Pelanserin (developmental code name TR-2515) is a serotonin 5-HT2 and α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist which was under development for the treatment of hypertension but was never marketed.[2][3] Its development was discontinued in 2001.[2]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Pharmacokinetics

[edit]

The pharmacokinetics of pelanserin have been studied.[4] It has a relatively short elimination half-life.[5][4] The drug's time to peak levels was less than 1 hour and its half-life was 3.8 hours in a single subject in an analytical study.[1]

Chemistry

[edit]

Synthesis

[edit]
Synthesis of pelanserin

Pelanserin (3) can be synthesized by a reaction between isatoic anhydride (1) and 1-(3-aminopropyl)-4-phenylpiperazine (2) in the presence of phosgene.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Pelanserin is a weakly basic experimental drug with a short half-life and a prolonged release formulation was developed using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and citric acid to set up a system bringing about gradual release of this drug.
