SB-221284 is a selective serotonin 5-HT2C and 5-HT2B receptor antagonist which is used in scientific research.[1][2][3]
Its affinities (Ki) are 2.2 to 2.5 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, 2.5 to 12.6 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 398 to 550 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (where it is also an antagonist).[2][4][3][5] The drug has 160- to 250-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[1][4][3] It is said to have been the first serotonin 5-HT2C receptor ligand to show 100-fold selectivity over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[6]
SB-221284 has shown anxiolytic-like effects in animals.[1][5][7][8] Conversely, it has been said to be inactive in terms of antidepressant-like, antiobsessional-like, antipanic-like, and sedative effects.[1][8] It also showed no proconvulsant or hyperphagic effects in animals, phenotypes that are notably observed with serotonin 5-HT2C receptor knockout.[3]
The preferential serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) and the serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine have been found to acutely reduce social interaction in rodents.[4] SB-221284 was found to reverse the acute decreases in social interaction produced by mCPP and fluoxetine.[4] The drug has also been found to block mCPP-induced hypolocomotion.[1][5][7][9] Both SB-221284 and the selective serotonin 5-HT2C receptor antagonist SB-242084 have been found to enhance the nucleus accumbens dopamine release and hyperlocomotion induced by NMDA receptor antagonists like phencyclidine (PCP) and dizocilpine (MK-801).[9] Conversely, both drugs had no effect on locomotor activity or dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens by themselves.[9] However, another study reported that SB-221284 by itself did enhance locomotion.[4]
SB-221284 was first described in the scientific literature by 1996.[10][3] It was researched by GlaxoSmithKline as a possible non-sedating anxiolytic and reached the preclinical research stage of development.[5][11][12][3] However, it was found to be a potent inhibitor of a number of human cytochrome P450 enzymes (particularly CYP1A2), which precluded further development of the drug.[1][12][3] Other sources have stated that SB-221284 was not further developed due to "toxicity"[10] and that other drugs were pursued instead as SB-221284 was a "fairly weak" serotonin 5-HT2C receptor antagonist.[6]

In particular, compounds 41 and 42 demonstrated 160- and 600-fold selectivity over 5- HT2A receptor, respectively. [...] Compounds 41-44 were evaluated for binding at 5-HT2B receptor and displayed modest selectivity. Compound 41 was found to have negligible affinity on a total of 57 different binding sites. 41 was also characterized as a competitive antagonist (pKB= 9.8) in the 5-HT-stimulated PI hydrolysis model of h-5-HT2C receptor activation in HEK-293 cells. Compounds 25, 39-43, 47-49 potently blocked the hypoactivity in rats produced by a standard dose of mCPP after oral administration (ID50 values around 1 mg/kg po). [...] Compounds 39, 41, 47, and 48 were further evaluated in two different models of anxiety in the rat (i.e. the Geller-Seifter Conflict Test and the Social Interaction Test) and were found to have significant anxiolytic activity with no evidence of sedative effects at doses (0.2-5 mg/ kg po) similar to those that antagonized mCPP-induced hypolocomotion. [...] The project aimed to the discovery of a selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist at GSK evolved further [20] starting from compound 41 (SB-221284) and its methoxy analog 47 (Table 2). Compound 41 was found to be a potent inhibitor of a number of human cytochrome P450 enzymes (particularly the CYP1A2 isoform) and, therefore, further development was precluded.

SB 221284, an antagonist which has recently been disclosed and which has improved affinity and selectivity for 5-HT2C receptors compared to SB 200646A (Ki =2.5, 12.6 and 398 nM at 5-HT2C, 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A receptors, respectively; Bromidge et al., 1998).

SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals has developed a number of useful anxiolytic agents targeting the 5-HT2C receptor, since the early 1990s. They revealed a number of bispyridyl ether compounds with selective 5-HT2A/2B/2C receptor antagonist activity (e.g., SB-242084 and SB-221284, compound 16 and 17, respectively, FIGURE 2), which exhibited significant anxiolytic activity and blocked the hypolocomotion in rats, centrally mediated by m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP, compound 8, FIGURE 1), which is a hallucinogen also known as ecstasy with selective 5-HT2A/2C/2B agonist activity, an induce behavioral symptoms of anxiety in both animal models and humans.[29–31]

This led to the synthesis of SB-221284 (4) which was the first ligand to show over 100-fold selectivity for 5-HT2C [21]. The compound was still fairly weak as an antagonist so further elaboration was necessary.

Subsequently, we developed a number of selective 5-HT2C/B receptor antagonists, such as 1 (SB206553) and 2 (SB-221284), which block the centrally mediated mCPP-induced hypolocomotion in rats. These compounds also exhibited significant anxiolytic activity in several different animal models, lending strong support to our original hypothesis.4-6

In contrast, 5-HT2C receptor antagonists such as SB-200646A or SB-221284 show signs of anxiolytic-like activity in tests for conditioned and phobic-like anxiety in rodents whereas they are inactive in tests indicative of antidepressant, anti-OCD and antipanic activity.

The result was the optimised indoline SB-221284 (4), with 140-fold 5-HT2c selectivity, pKi = 8.6, ID50 = 1.5 mg/kg, and a minimum effective dose of 1 mg/kg in the Geller-Seifter test. SB-221284 is no longer in development because of compound-related toxicity problems, but a suitable analogue, not identified, has been located as a replacement.

Compound SB 221284 was selected on the basis of its overall biological profile for further evaluation as a potential, novel, nonsedating anxiolytic agent. Unfortunately, these compounds were found to be potent inhibitors of several human cytochrome P450 enzymes which precluded their further development [63].
