Dexpramipexole (also known as KNS-760704, R-(+)-Pramipexole and (R)-Pramipexole), an enantiomer of pramipexole, is a dopamine agonist of the non-ergoline class with the potential for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). It continuously and significantly reduces eosinophils in peripheral blood. In studies involving human subjects, dexpramipexole—a low molecular weight, water-soluble, orally bioavailable, renally excreted drug with linear pharmacokinetics—has proven to be well tolerated. The enantiomer of pramipexole, KNS-760704, has been demonstrated to significantly protect neurons under stress and enhance mitochondrial function.

ln Vitro |
Dexpramipexole has been found to be neuroprotective and is currently being studied for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Dexpramipexole reduces mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, inhibits activation of apoptotic pathways, and increases cell survival against various neurotoxins and beta-amyloid neurotoxicity. Dexpramipexole has much lower dopamine agonist activity than the S-(-) isomer.
|
ln Vivo |
Dexpramipexole increased mitochondrial ATP production in cultured neurons or glia and reduces energy failure, prevents intracellular Ca2+ overload and affords cytoprotection when cultures are exposed to OGD. This compound also counteracted ATP depletion, mitochondrial swelling, anoxic depolarization, loss of synaptic activity and neuronal death in hippocampal slices subjected to OGD. Post‐ischaemic treatment with dexpramipexole, at doses consistent with those already used in ALS patients, reduced brain infarct size and ameliorated neuroscore in mice subjected to transient or permanent MCAo[2].

Cell Assay |
Neuronal/astrocytes cultures were prepared from rat embryos (E‐17/E‐19) or pups (P‐1/P‐2), as reported (Chiarugi et al., 2003). Briefly, the cerebral cortex was minced using medium stock (MS) (Eagle's minimal essential medium with Earle's salts, glutamine‐ and NaHCO3‐free, NaHCO3 38 mM, glucose 22 mM, penicillin 100 U·mL−1 and streptomycin 100 µg·mL−1) and then incubated for 10 (neurons) and 45 min (astrocytes) at 37°C in MS supplemented with 0.25% trypsin and 0.05% DNase. Enzymic digestion was terminated by incubation (10 min at 37°C) in MS supplemented with 10% heat‐inactivated horse serum (HIHS) and 10% FBS. Following tissue mechanical disruption, cells were counted and plated. For mixed cortical cell cultures, neurons were re‐suspended at a density of 4 × 105 cells·mL−1 and plated in 15 mm multiwell on a layer of confluent astrocytes using MS supplemented with 10% HIHS, 10% FBS and 2 mM glutamine. After 4–5 days in vitro, non‐neuronal cell division was halted by the application of 3 µM cytosine arabinoside for 24 h. Cell cultures were subjected to oxygen‐glucose deprivation (OGD) in the presence or absence of DEX in a serum‐ and glucose‐free medium saturated with 95% N2 and 5% CO2. Following 2 h of incubation at 37°C in an anoxic chamber, the cultures were transferred to oxygenated serum‐free medium (75% Eagle's minimal essential medium; 25% Hank's balanced salt solution; 2 mM l‐glutamine; 3.75 µg·mL−1 amphotericin B; and 5 mg·mL−1 glucose) and returned to normoxic conditions in the presence or absence of DEX. Propidium iodide (PI) fluorescence was evaluated 24 h later[2].

Animal Protocol |
Acute hippocampal slice preparation and OGD exposure[2]
Acute hippocampal slices were prepared from male SD rats (Charles River, Calco, Italy, 150–200 g) as described (Pugliese et al., 2009). Hippocampi were removed and placed in ice‐cold oxygenated artificial CSF of the following composition (mM): NaCl 125, KCl 3, NaH2PO4 1.25, MgSO4 1, CaCl2 2, NaHCO3 25 and D‐glucose 10. Slices of 400 mm were prepared and kept in oxygenated aCSF for at least 1 h at RT. A single slice was then placed on a nylon mesh, completely submerged in a small chamber (0.8 mL) and superfused with oxygenated aCSF (31–32°C) at a constant flow rate of 1.5–1.8 mL·min−1. Under OGD condition, the slice was superfused with aCSF without glucose and gassed with 95%N2–5% CO2. This caused a drop in pO2 in the recording chamber from ~500 mmHg (normoxia) to a range of 35–75 mmHg (after 7 min OGD). (Pugliese et al., 2003) At the end of the ischaemic period, the slice was again superfused with normal, glucose‐containing, oxygenated aCSF. Control slices were not subjected to OGD or drug treatment but were incubated in oxygenated aCSF for identical time intervals. Hippocampal slices were (i) incubated for at least 1 h before electrophysiological recordings in the presence of DEX, which was maintained throughout the experiments or (ii) superfused in the presence of DEX at least 30 min before and after OGD application. |
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation No information is available on the use of pramipexole during breastfeeding, but it suppresses serum prolactin and may interfere with breastfeeding. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. Pramipexole lowers serum prolactin.[1] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed. |
