SB-277011 GlaxoSmithKline

G Remington et al. Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2001 Jul.

Abstract

It is presumed that GlaxoSmithKline has taken over from SmithKline Beecham in investigating the highly selective dopamine D3 antagonist SB-277011 and its analogs for the potential treatment of schizophrenia [284490] following the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham in December 2000 [394715]. In June 2000, it was reported that novel 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzazepines and 2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindoles, including SB-277011, had shown high affinity and selectivity for the dopamine D3 receptor. All compounds were suggested to have further potential roles in the treatment of drug abuse and psychosis [372205]. In November 2000, data presented at the 30th Neuroscience meeting in New Orleans, LA, demonstrated that D3 receptor blockade with SB-277011 specifically altered neurochemical effects in the nucleus accumbens without the non-selective effects, such as catalepsy, seen with some other antagonists [390460].
