LY-2459989 is a silent antagonist of the κ-opioid receptor (KOR) that has been developed by Eli Lilly as a radiotracer of that receptor, labeled either with carbon-11[1] or fluorine-18.[2]

Pharmacology

Pharmacokinetics

LY-2795050, CAS# 1346133-08-1 [3]

LY-2459989 exhibits greatly improved central nervous system permeation relative to LY-2795050, with brain levels approximately six times higher than those of its predecessor.[1] The compound has a short duration of action, with only 25% of the compound remaining in serum 30 minutes post-injection in rhesus monkeys, making it an ideal agent for application in biomedical imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET).[1]

Pharmacodynamics

LY-2459989 possesses high affinity for the KOR (Ki = 0.18 nM) and is highly selective for it over the μ-opioid receptor (Ki = 7.68 nM) and the δ-opioid receptor (Ki = 91.3 nM), showing over 43-fold selectivity for the KOR relative to the other opioid receptors.[1] LY-2459989 is a fluorine-containing analogue and follow-up compound of LY-2795050, the first KOR-selective antagonist radiotracer.[1] Relative to LY-2795050, LY-2459989 displays 4-fold higher affinity for the KOR and similar selectivity.[1]

Earlier analogues of LY-2459989 besides LY-2795050 with similar actions and potential uses have also been described.[4] Short-acting κ antagonists of this type have been shown to produce antidepressant-like effects in animal studies.[5]
