• Drug Interactions: Due to the theoretical possibility of the mechanism of lorcaserin and serotonin syndrome, when lorcaserin is used in combination with the serotonergic neurotransmitter system drugs, extreme caution should be paid, including triptans monoamine oxidase inhibitor agent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants bupropion dextromethorphan, lithium tramadol and St. John's wort , etc. In addition, when the present product with CYP2D6 substrates when combined with the need to be cautious, because the product can increase the exposure of these drugs.

Discovery of a novel azepine series of potent and selective 5-HT_2C agonists as potential treatments for urinary incontinence

10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.07.063

Paul E. Brennan et al. details the development of a new series of azepine compounds designed to treat urinary incontinence by acting as selective 5-HT2C receptor agonists. Lorcaserin and valbiferin are azapine derivatives that were used as reference compounds in the study of selective 5-HT2C agonists. The researchers synthesized a range of heterocycle-fused azepines, starting with pyridazo-azepines which showed good potency but lacked selectivity against 5-HT2B. Further modifications led to the discovery of triazolopyrimido-azepines, with compound 36 emerging as a potent, selective, and metabolically stable candidate that demonstrated efficacy in an in vivo model of stress urinary incontinence. The study underscores the importance of computational and in vitro models in guiding the design of compounds with desirable pharmacokinetic properties, such as good blood-brain barrier penetration and minimal P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux.
