Bicifadine

Identification

Generic Name
Bicifadine
DrugBank Accession Number
DB04889
Background

Bicifadine (DOV-220075) is a nonopioid analgesic. It is an inhibitor of both the norepinephrine and serotonin transporters and an NMDA antagonist with a non-narcotic profile. Bicifadine was shown to have potent analgesic activity in vivo and was chosen for further development for the treatment of pain.

Pharmacodynamics

Bicifadine is a chemically distinct molecule with a unique profile of pharmacological activity. Its primary pharmacological action is to enhance and prolong the actions of norepinephrine and serotonin by inhibiting the transport proteins that terminate the physiological actions of the two biogenic amines. Bicifadine is not a narcotic and is well-tolerated and, in preclinical studies, has been shown not to act at any opiate receptor. Bicifadine does not exhibit any anti-inflammatory activity and does not inhibit prostaglandin synthetase in vitro.

Mechanism of action

Preclinical studies and clinical trials indicate that bicifadine's analgesic properties result through the enhancement and prolongation of norepinephrine and serotonin actions, however other actions may be involved.
