Uses

Used in Obesity Treatment:
Lorcaserin is used as an anti-obesity agent for promoting weight loss. It works by selectively targeting the 5-HT2C receptor, which is involved in regulating appetite and energy balance. By activating this receptor, Lorcaserin helps to reduce food intake and increase satiety, leading to a decrease in body weight.
Used in Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Treatment:
Lorcaserin is also used as a treatment for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). It has been found to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence, making it a valuable tool in the fight against opioid addiction.
Used in Diet Pills:
Lorcaserin is used as an ingredient in diet pills for its appetite-suppressing properties. By reducing hunger and promoting a feeling of fullness, it can assist individuals in adhering to a calorie-restricted diet and achieving their weight loss goals.

Weight loss drugs

Lorcaserin is a new drug for the treatment of obesity , belonging to oral potent selective serotonin 2C receptor agonists, lorcaserin hydrochloride is successfully developed by the US company Arena, on June 27, 2012 by the US FDA it is approved for marketing, as adjuvant therapy for obesity or merge with at least one weight-related complications in overweight adults in low-calorie diet and exercise basis . Clinical studies show that the drug can reduce weight of obesity and overweight patients ,it can improve obesity-related metabolic parameters, and it is well tolerated. Lorcaserin affinity for the 5-HT2c 100 times higher than the 5-HT2B (valvular heart disease risk) ,it has good safety,it is the first FDA-approved weight-loss drug after 1999 . In a year of Lorcaserin treatment, the average weight loss ranges from 3 to 3.7 percent.

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. The above information is edited by the lookchem of Tian Ye.

Synthesis

The synthesis of?LORCASERIN is as follows:Liquid precursor 53 11-HCl (0.5mmol) was placed into a test tube equipped with a magnetic stir bar. Anhydrous 44 AlCl3?(1.75 equiv according to starting material) was added and efficiently mixed to obtain a paste. The mixture was slowly heated (10°C/min) to 150°C and stirred overnight. A saturated solution of 54 NaCl was added and the mixture was cooled. The pH was adjusted to 9.5-10 using 1M NaOH and then extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4?and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained crude mixture was analyzed using?1H NMR spectroscopy (estimated yield by?1H NMR was 62%).

Design of oxa-spirocyclic PHOX ligands for the asymmetric synthesis of lorcaserin: Via iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation

Phosphine-oxazoline (PHOX) ligands are a very important class of privileged ligands in asymmetric catalysis. A series of highly rigid oxa-spiro phosphine-oxazoline (O-SIPHOX) ligands based on O-SPINOL was synthesized efficiently, and their iridium complexes were synthesized by coordination of the O-SIPHOX ligands to [Ir(cod)Cl]2 in the presence of sodium tetrakis-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylborate (NaBArF). The cationic iridium complexes showed high reactivity and excellent enantioselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of 1-methylene-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepin-2-ones (up to 99% yield and up to 99% ee). A key intermediate of the anti-obesity drug lorcaserin could be efficiently synthesized using this protocol.
