Biochem/physiol Actions

Vortioxetine (Lu AA21004) is an orally active, multimodal serotonergic compound with high affinity toward human 5-HT1A (Ki = 15 nM), 5-HT1B (Ki = 33 nM), 5-HT1D (Ki = 54 nM), 5-HT3A (Ki = 3.7 nM), 5-HT7 (Ki = 19 nM), noradrenergic β1 (Ki = 46 nM) receptors, and serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT Ki = 1.6 nM). Vortioxetine exhibits in vivo psychotropic efficacy by exerting antagonist activity against 5-HT-1D/3A/7, agonist activity on 5-HT1A, partial agonist activity on 5-HT1B, as well as potent SERT inhibitory activity.

Current treatments for depression, including serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are only partially effective, with a high incidence of residual symptoms, relapse, and treatment resistance. Loss of cognitive flexibility, a component of depression, is associated with dysregulation of the prefrontal cortex.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
