- W4365511221 abstract "Abstract Background Most FDA-approved ADHD treatments increase norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA); however, our prior preclinical studies of the non-stimulant ADHD treatment viloxazine ER (Qelbree®) demonstrated that viloxazine also increases serotonin (5-HT). A prior microdialysis study showed increases in NE, DA, and 5-HT in the rat prefrontal cortex (PFC); however, the 50 mg/kg dose resulted in supratherapeutic plasma concentrations. Viloxazine is a moderate affinity selective NE reuptake inhibitor, structurally different than traditional SSRI antidepressants. Viloxazine has negligible activity at the serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT), suggesting viloxazine has a different mechanism of 5-HT PFC elevation than SSRIs. The current microdialysis study was undertaken to further characterize if viloxazine affects 5-HT and its 5-HIAA metabolite at therapeutically relevant plasma concentrations. Results are compared to similar microdialysis studies of SSRIs. Methods Rats were implanted with I-shaped microdialysis probes connected to a microperfusion pump, delivering artificial cerebrospinal fluid, in the PFC. After a 2-hour baseline period, viloxazine (1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg) was administered (ip). Dialysate samples were collected from the interstitial fluid (ISF) of the PFC before and after dosing. LC-MS/MS was used to determine the dialysate concentrations of viloxazine and viloxazine-induced changes in NE, 5-HT, and their respective metabolites, DHPG and 5-HIAA. Viloxazine plasma concentrations were also measured. Animal research was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and conducted in accordance with the National Research Council’s Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Results Viloxazine administration resulted in significant dose-dependent increases in ISF NE levels and corresponding decreases in DHPG (NE metabolite) at all doses tested, reflecting viloxazine’s activity as a NET inhibitor. Viloxazine treatment also resulted in a dose-dependent elevation of ISF 5-HT levels in the PFC. Of the doses tested, 30 mg/kg was found to be clinically relevant as it induced ISF concentrations approximating unbound plasma concentrations in pediatric ADHD patients. At this dose, 5-HT levels were significantly increased over baseline and higher than vehicle levels. Coincident changes in 5-HIAA concentrations were not observed, reaffirming viloxazine’s lack of activity as a SERT inhibitor. Conclusion Viloxazine induced dose-dependent increases in NE and 5-HT in the PFC, a critical target region for ADHD therapies. At clinically relevant viloxazine plasma concentrations, 5-HT was increased in the PFC. Unlike SSRIs, which correspondingly decrease the 5-HT metabolite in the PFC (indicating serotonin reuptake inhibition), viloxazine did not affect 5-HIAA levels. Thus, viloxazine increases cortical 5-HT levels by a different mechanism than SSRIs. Whether 5-HT effects aid in viloxazine therapeutic efficacy in ADHD is yet unknown.
