Flibanserin

Synonyms: BIMT-17, BIMT-17-BS

Flibanserin (BIMT-17, BIMT-17-BS) is a nonhormonal, centrally acting molecule that acts as an agonist at postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors and as an antagonist at 5-HT2A receptors.

Biological Activity

Description Flibanserin (BIMT-17, BIMT-17-BS) is a nonhormonal, centrally acting molecule that acts as an agonist at postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors and as an antagonist at 5-HT2A receptors.

In vitro
In vitro Flibanserin has preferential affinity for serotonin 5-HT1A, dopamine D4, and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors. In vitro and in microiontophoresis, flibanserin behaves as a 5-HT1A agonist, a very weak partial agonist on dopamine D4 receptors, and a 5-HT2A antagonist. Flibanserin also shows some affinity for human D2L and D3 receptors and rat NE-alpha 1 and 5-HT7 receptors. Flibanserin has different affinity for rat (> 10,000 nM) and human (305-785 nM) D2 receptors. The affinity for all other receptors, including the 5-HT transporter, varies from low to very low[2]. In vitro studies showed that flibanserin reduced forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in cells and rat tissues and antagonized the accumulation of phosphatidyl inositol turnover induced by 5-HT in the mouse cortex[3].
In Vivo
In vivo In vivo flibanserin binds equally to 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors[2]. In rats, flibanserin administration has been shown to lead to brain region-specific decreases in serotonin (5-HT) and increases in dopamine and norepinephrine. Flibanserin exposure is proportional to dose. The plasma protein binding of flibanserin (98% to albumin) is high. Flibanserin administration leads to brain region-specific increases in dopamine and norepinephrine (which are involved in the ‘excitement’ phase of the sexual response) and decreases in serotonin (5-HT) (which is involved in the ‘inhibitory’ phase). The absolute bioavailability of flibanserin after oral administration is 33.2%, and it is moderately distributed in body tissues, with a half-life of about 10 h. Steady state is established within 3 days. Flibanserin is well-tolerated at doses up to 100 mg/day (the highest dose tested in PhaseIII) for 24 weeks[1].

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
