Current Research Literature on Atomoxetine (Strattera)

Here are abstracts for some of the latest research articles to have appeared on Atomoxetine (Strattera):

The effect of pharmacotherapy for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder on risk of seizures in pediatric patients as assessed in an insurance claims database.

Curr Drug Saf. 2008 May; 3(2): 123-31
McAfee AT, Holdridge KC, Johannes CB, Hornbuckle K, Walker AM
Purpose: To estimate the rate of new-onset seizure in ADHD patients in relation to ADHD pharmacotherapy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 34,727 patients, ages 6 to 17, with at least two insurance claims bearing ADHD diagnoses during 2003 in the UnitedHealthcare database. Incidence of seizure was calculated for observation time during treatment with atomoxetine and stimulants/bupropion. Results: Seizure incidence among ADHD patients was 4.5/1,000 person-years (p-y; 95% confidence interval 3.7 - 5.5). ADHD patients who received any ADHD medication had an incidence of 3.8/1,000 p-y (3.0 - 4.8) compared to 8.7 (5.8 - 12.4) for patients who did not receive any ADHD medication. The relative risk (RR) for current vs non-use of atomoxetine was 1.1 (0.6 - 2.1). For stimulants and bupropion, the RR for current vs non-use was 0.8 (0.6 - 1.3). Elevated seizure risks were found in association with central nervous system (CNS) disease (OR 3.9, 1.2 - 10.9), CNS medications (OR 2.2, 1.3 - 3.6), metabolic disease (OR 2.9, 1.1 - 6.8), and psychiatric disease risk factors (OR 1.7, 1.1 - 2.6). Conclusions: In this study, there was no statistically significant association between use of atomoxetine or stimulants and seizure risk in children ages 6 to 17 years with ADHD and without prior seizure disorder.

Structure-activity relationships of chiral selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (sNRI) with increased oxidative stability.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Aug 15; 18(16): 4491-4
Hudson S, Kiankarimi M, Eccles W, Dwight W, Mostofi YS, Genicot MJ, Fleck BA, Gogas K, Aparicio A, Wang H, Wen J, Wade WS
The synthesis and SAR of a series of chiral heterocyclic ring-constrained norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are described. The best compounds compare favorably with atomoxetine in potency (IC(50)s1 microM). In addition, the compounds are generally more stable than atomoxetine to oxidative metabolism and thus are likely to have lower clearance in humans.

Nucleophilic Addition of Phenol Derivatives to Methyl 1-Nitrocyclopropanecarboxylates.

J Org Chem. 2008 Aug 1;
Lifchits O, Alberico D, Zakharian I, Charette AB
Nucleophilic ring opening of methyl 1-nitrocyclopropanecarboxylates by phenol derivatives in the presence of Cs 2CO 3 is described. The reaction tolerates a variety of substituents on both the aromatic alcohol and the cyclopropane and affords the products in good yields (53-84%) and with complete preservation of the enantiomeric excess at C-4. The methodology was applied in an enantioselective synthesis of the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor atomoxetine (Strattera).

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (sNRI) with a heterocyclic ring constraint.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Aug 15; 18(16): 4495-8
Hudson S, Kiankarimi M, Eccles W, Mostofi YS, Genicot MJ, Dwight W, Fleck BA, Gogas K, Wade WS
The design, synthesis and SAR of a series of heterocyclic ring-constrained norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are described. As racemates, the best compounds compare favorably with atomoxetine (IC(50)'s
