Description

Luzindole is a potent and selective antagonist of the 5-HT2A receptor. It has been shown to have antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant effects in animal models. Luzindole is synthesized from the indole nucleus, and its mechanism of action is believed to involve blockade of the 5-HT2A receptor, which is involved in the regulation of serotonin signaling in the brain. Luzindole has been studied as a potential treatment for schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and depression. Its effects on other serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT1A receptor, are also being investigated. However, luzindole has been associated with side effects such as sedation and dizziness. Further research is needed to assess its efficacy and safety in humans.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Luzindole is an MT1/MT2 MLT receptor antagonist. It does not block melatonin's inhibitory effect on the adenylate cyclase enzyme.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Luzindole is an MT1/MT2 MLT receptor antagonist."( Acute blockade of endogenous melatonin by Luzindole, with or without peripheral LPS injection, induces jejunal inflammation and morphological alterations in Swiss mice.
Bruin, PFC; Bruin, VMS; Duarte, ASG; Matos, RS; Oriá, RB; Pinto, DV; Santos, FA; Viana, AFSC, 2021
)

"Luzindole is an unselective antagonist of the melatonin receptors and melatonin's other binding sites, although some exceptions have been observed in chick retinal neurodevelopment, where this unselective antagonist does not block melatonin's inhibitory effect on the adenylate cyclase enzyme, probably due to the presence of some other melatonin receptor(s) or binding site(s). "( An unexpected effect of 5-MCA-NAT in chick retinal development.

Actions

Luzindole shows lower affinity for the inhibition of 2-[125I]-iodomelatonin binding than melatonin. This may explain why luzindoles is not an effective melatonin receptor antagonist when administered in vivo.

"Luzindole did not increase basal [35S]-GTPgammaS binding but competitively inhibited melatonin-stimulated [35S]-GTPgammaS binding, thus exhibiting antagonist action."( Ligand efficacy and potency at recombinant human MT2 melatonin receptors: evidence for agonist activity of some mt1-antagonists.

Treatment

Luzindole pretreatment decreased the total cellular level of MT1 receptor in the MT1(high) cells at both time points. Pretreatment with luzind alone reversed the stimulatory effect of this indoloamine on Bcl-2/Bax and caspase-9 proteins expression in PANC-1 cells.
