Vortioxetine (vor-tye-OKS-e-teen, trade name Brintellix (BRIN-tel-ix[1]) and Trintellix in Canada) is an atypical antidepressant (a serotonin modulator and stimulator) made by Lundbeck and Takeda.[2]
Contents
Medical use[edit]
Vortioxetine is used as first-line treatment for major depressive disorder.[2][3][4][5][6]
Side effects[edit]
The most common side effects reported with vortioxetine are nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, constipation, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and sexual dysfunction.[2] Vortioxetine used alone in high dose or in combination with other medications, such as other antidepressants, can produce a potentially life-threatening drug reaction known as serotonin syndrome.[2]
Incidence of sexual dysfunction is reportedly higher in patients taking vortioxetine than in people taking placebos but appears to be lower than in people taking other antidepressants[2][6]
Pharmacodynamics[edit]
Vortioxetine is a so-called "serotonin modulator and stimulator".[7] It has been shown to possess the following pharmacological actions:[2][8][9]
- 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
- β1-Adrenergic receptor ligand — Ki = 46 nM[8]
Pharmacokinetics[edit]
Vortioxetine reaches peak plasma concentration (Cmax) within 7 to 11 hours post-administration (Tmax), and its mean terminal half-life (t½) is ≈ 66 hours. Steady-state plasma concentrations are typically reached within two weeks.[2] It has no active metabolites (i.e. it is not a prodrug).[2]
Research[edit]
Vortioxetine has been studied in several clinical trials as a potential treatment for general anxiety disorder but results were inconsistent.[10][11]
History[edit]
Vortioxetine was discovered by scientists at Lundbeck who reported the rationale and synthesis for the drug (then called Lu AA21004) in a 2011 paper.[8][12]
In 2007, the compound was in Phase II clinical trials, and Lundbeck and Takeda entered into a partnership in which Takeda paid Lundbeck $40 million upfront, with promises of up to $345 million in milestone payments, and Takeda agreed to pay most of the remaining cost of developing the drug. The companies agreed to co-promote the drug in the US and Japan, and that Lundbeck would receive a royalty on all such sales. The deal included another drug candidate, tedatioxetine (Lu AA24530), and could be expanded to include two other Lundbeck compounds.[13]
Vortioxetine was approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults in September, 2013,[14] and it was approved in Europe later that year.[15]
