Popis: The in vivo preclinical pharmacodynamic profile of TD-5108, a selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist with high intrinsic activity, was compared to that of the clinically studied gastrointestinal pro-kinetic agents, tegaserod, cisapride and mosapride. The activity of TD-5108 was evaluated in guinea pig colonic transit, rat oesophageal relaxation and dog gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractility models. Subcutaneous administration of TD-5108, tegaserod, cisapride and mosapride increased guinea pig colonic transit (rank order of potencies: TD-5108 > tegaserod > cisapride > mosapride). Following intravenous and intraduodenal dosing, TD-5108, tegaserod, cisapride and mosapride produced dose-dependent relaxation of the rat oesophagus. On a molar basis, TD-5108 was approximately twofold less potent than tegaserod following intravenous dosing but 6- or 86-fold more potent than cisapride or mosapride, respectively, and 9- or 18-fold more potent than tegaserod or cisapride, respectively, after intraduodenal administration. Orally dosed TD-5108 increased the contractility of the canine antrum, duodenum and jejunum with higher potency than tegaserod. The selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist, TD-5108, demonstrates robust in vivo activity in the guinea pig, rat and dog gastrointestinal tracts.
