Description: Vortioxetine, also known as Lu AA21004, is an atypical antidepressant, and was approved in 2013 by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. Vortioxetine is a so-called "serotonin modulator and stimulator." It has been shown to possess the following pharmacological actions: Serotonin transporter (SERT) blocker (i.e. serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI)) — Ki (binding affinity) = 1.6 nM, IC50 = 5.4 nM; Norepinephrine transporter (NET) blocker — Ki = 113 nM; 5-HT1A receptor high-efficacy partial agonist/near-full agonist — Ki = 15 nM, IA = 80%; 5-HT1B receptor partial agonist — Ki = 33 nM; 5-HT1D receptor antagonist — Ki = 54 nM; 5-HT3A receptor antagonist — Ki = 3.7 nM; 5-HT7 receptor antagonist — Ki = 19 nM.

More Info:

Biological target: Vortioxetine hydrobromide is a multimodal serotonergic agent, inhibits 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT3A, 5-HT7 receptor and SERT with Ki values of 15 nM, 33 nM, 3.7 nM, 19 nM and 1.6 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity: Relative to vehicle-treated neurons, vortioxetine promoted an increase in total spine area (1.30 ± 0.05 μm2; ****, p < 0.0001), spine width (1.16 ± 0.04 μm; ****, p < 0.0001), spine breadth (1.10 ± 0.03 μm; ***, p = 0.0003), which is comparable to spine head width in MetaMorph software, and spine length (1.16 ± 0.03 μm; ****, p < 0.0001) (Fig. 2A,B, Table 1). There was an increased proportion of large, mushroom-like spines with an area greater than 2.0 μm2 with vortioxetine treatment in comparison to vehicle (Fig. 6A). In contrast to the increase in spine density following subchronic and chronic vortioxetine treatment reported in vivo, there were no changes in the density of spines per 10 μm dendritic segment (7.50 ± 0.41 (VOR) vs. 7.07 ± 0.30 (VEH)) (Fig. 2A,C, Table 1). Interestingly, the proportion of spines that were closely apposed to or co-localized with the presynaptic vesicle marker synapsin I was greater with vortioxetine than in vehicle-treated neurons (45.44 ± 3.09% (VOR) vs. 34.47 ± 2.65% (VEH); *, p = 0.0145) (Fig. 2A,C, Table 1).

In vivo activity: The analgesic activity of vortioxetine was evaluated by the tail-clip, tail-immersion and hot-plate tests. In the tail-clip tests, animals administered vortioxetine at 10 and 20 mg/kg had significantly longer reaction time than saline-administered control mice. Moreover, MPE% and AUC values were also significantly higher with respect to the control groups. 5 mg/kg dose of this drug was only effective at 60th minute (Figure 2). In the tail-clip method, the clamp-biting reaction of animals is known to be associated with spinal transmission of nociception. Therefore, these findings suggest that the analgesic activity of vortioxetine is related to its effect on spinal nociceptive pathways that carry painful mechanical stimuli.
