Gene context of Dexfenfluramine

  • METHODS: Prolactin (PRL) and cortisol (CORT) responses to the serotonergic agonist d-fenfluramine (D-fen), clinical psychobehavioral changes, and psychometric measures were evaluated 3 weeks and then 12 months after MDMA discontinuation [31].
  • Administration of m-chlorophenylpiperazine and fenfluramine, both of which induce anorexic effects via 5-HT2C receptors and/or 5-HT1B receptors, suppressed food intake in 5- and 8-wk-old A(y) mice, whereas the anorexic effects were attenuated in food-restricted A(y) mice [32].
  • Yeast-expressed recombinant human CYP2D6 metabolized dexfenfluramine with high affinity (Km 1.6 microM, Vmax 0.18 nmol min(-1) nmol P450(-1)) to nordexfenfluramine which was the sole product observed [33].
  • We were able to identify CYP2D6 (high affinity) and CYP1A2 (low affinity) as the major enzymes catalysing the N-dealkylation of dexfenfluramine in human liver microsomes [33].
  • CONCLUSION(S): The lower PRL response to fenfluramine in the stress-sensitive animals suggests that stress-sensitive individuals have decreased activity in central serotonergic neurons [34].
