摘要:

阿戈美拉汀是一种选择性褪黑素受体MT1/MT2激动剂和血清素5-羟色胺2C受体拮抗剂,已在临床上用于治疗成人重度抑郁。阿戈美拉汀能通过激动褪黑素受体MT1/MT2,重建睡眠-觉醒节律,以使昼夜节律正常化,同时发挥抗抑郁和抗焦虑作用。阿戈美拉汀还可通过拮抗新皮质突触后5-羟色胺2C受体,调控前额皮质中多巴胺和去甲肾上腺素的分泌,增加多巴胺和去甲肾上腺素的活性,进而改善抑郁、焦虑等情绪异常表现。这两种作用的有效结合使得阿戈美拉汀在对抗抑郁、焦虑及睡眠节律紊乱治疗中显示出特有的药理作用。情绪和睡眠与记忆、认知功能密切相关,而记忆和认知损害是多数神经退行性疾病、精神疾病的常见临床症状。因此阿戈美拉汀能否在治疗抑郁和睡眠节律紊乱的同时改善患者的学习记忆以及认知活动引起了人们的兴趣和关注。此次综述回顾性总结了临床试验和动物实验中阿戈美拉汀治疗精神和睡眠节律障碍影响的最新发现,以期为精神疾病和神经退行性疾病的记忆和认知障碍治疗提出可借鉴的策略。

Abstract: Agomelatine is a selective agonist of melatonin receptor 1A/melatonin receptor 1B (MT1/MT2) and antagonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C receptors. It is used clinically to treat major depressive episodes in adults. The pro-chronobiological activity of agomelatine reconstructs sleep-wake rhythms and normalizes circadian disturbances via its agonistic effect of melatonin receptor 1A/melatonin receptor 1B, which work simultaneously to counteract depression and anxiety disorder. Moreover, by antagonizing neocortical postsynaptic 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C receptors, agomelatine enhances the release of dopamine and noradrenaline in the prefrontal cortex, increases the activity of dopamine and noradrenaline, and thereby reduces depression and anxiety disorder. The combination of these two effects means that agomelatine exhibits a unique pharmacological role in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and disturbance of the circadian rhythm. Emotion and sleep are closely related to memory and cognitive function. Memory disorder is defined as any forms of memory abnormality, which is typically evident in a broad range of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Memory impairment and cognitive impairment are common symptoms of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. Therefore, whether agomelatine can improve memory and cognitive behaviors if used for alleviating depression and circadian-rhythm sleep disorders has become a research “hotspot”. This review presents the latest findings on the effects of agomelatine in the treatment of psychologic and circadian-rhythm sleep disorders in clinical trials and animal experiments. Our review evaluates recent studies on treatment of memory impairment and cognitive impairment in neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases.
