Research Excerpts

Overview

Tesofensine (TE) is a new drug producing twice the weight loss in obese individuals as seen with currently marketed drugs. It inhibits both norepinephrine, 5-HT, and dopamine (DA) reuptake function.

Treatment

Tesofensine treatment (2.0 mg/kg/day for 14 days) caused a pronounced anorexigenic and weight-reducing response in DIO rats as compared to age-matched chow-fed rats. Tesofensin-treated rats showed significantly lower D2/3R availability in nucleus accumbens and dorsal striatum.

Pharmacokinetics

The aims of this investigation were to simultaneously accomplish a thorough characterization of the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of tesofensine and M1 in mice. The inhibition of the dopamine transporter was determined by co-administration of [(3)H]WIN35,428 as the pharmacodynamic measure.
