1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundResearch on new candidates for antidepressant/anxiolytic drugs from the long-chain arylpiperazines (LCAPs) group containing a 1,3-dimethylpurine-2,6-dione as a terminal amide fragment fits into the modern exploration trend. This study aimed to examine, for the first time in male Wistar rats, pharmacodynamic (antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like) and pharmacokinetic properties of 7-(5-(4-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl)pentyl)-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydro-1 H-purine-2,6-dione hydrochloride (GR-14).

methodsAntidepressant- and anxiolytic-like activities have been assessed in the forced swim test (FST) and Vogel conflict drinking test, respectively. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of GR-14, its distribution into rat tissues, and several in vitro ADME-Tox parameters (hepatocytotoxic, neurocytotoxic, metabolic stability) have been defined.

resultsGR-14 produces strong and dose-dependent antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects in both tests used. Pharmacokinetic findings demonstrate that GR-14 reveals linear pharmacokinetics tested after intravenous (iv) and was rapidly absorbed after oral (po) administration. It rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) which is vital for therapeutic effects in vivo in psychiatric diseases, depression, and anxiety. Moreover, it is slowly eliminated from the brain, maintaining concentrations higher than those in plasma at the last time point measured. Further studies have also shown that GR-14 is an average high-clearance drug in rat liver microsomes and exerts neither hepatocytotoxic nor neurocytotoxic effects in vitro.

conclusionThe tested derivative GR-14 presents prominent mood-modulating activity in rats and has promising pharmacokinetic parameters and a good safety profile. The beneficial pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of GR-14 in vivo are in high concordance with its profile in vitro, thus underlining very hopeful properties to support the early development process.
