PR-608 is a potent dopamine reuptake inhibitor related to vanoxerine. However, the GBR class of agents was known to be derived from diphenhydramine (or more specifically flunamine) as exemplified by S-350 and bears the distinctive benzhydryl-ethyl-ether functional group.[1][2] PR-608 on the other hand belongs to the structurally distinct diphenylbutylpiperazine class of agents (related to the diphenylbutylpiperidine class). Other members of this class include amperozide, lidoflazine, difluanazine,[3][4] FG5865 and FG-5893.[5]
PR-608 was invented and developed in Japan and was patented in the 1990's to Pola Orbis Holdings Inc.[6][7]
PR-608 has been shown in preclinical studies to inhibit dopamine uptake in the central nervous system and may have potential applications in neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular disorders.[8][9][10][6] For example, the compounds were shown to produce a marked increase in locomotor activity (LMA), without a marked decrease in blood pressure. Although PR-608 and vanoxerine showed a similar nanomolar affinity for the DAT, in vivo microdialysis studies showed that PR-608 produced more robust increases in extracellular dopamine than vanoxerine did.
The calcium channel blocking properties of PR-608 might make it useful as a cardiac stimulant for the treatment of heart disease or as a cerebral vasodilator.[11] Alternative applications of this agent include for the treatment of psychostimulant addiction,[12][13][14] neurodegenerative diseases including (but not limited to) Parkinson's disease,[15][16] and as a treatment for depression.[17][18][19][20] Since dopamine regulates the appetite,[21][22][23] PR-608 might also find use for treating binge eating disorder (BED)[24][25][26] as well as treating narcolepsy.[27]
