Donecopride is a partial agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT4E (Ki = 8.5 nM) and an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; IC50 = 16 nM).1 It is selective for AChE over butyrylcholinesterase (BChE; IC50 = 3,530 nM) but does bind to 5-HT2B and sigma-2 (σ2) receptors (Ki = 1.6 nM for both) in a panel of 42 neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. Donecopride induces release of soluble amyloid precursor protein-α (sAPP-α) in COS-7 cells transiently expressing 5-HT4 with an EC50 value of 11.3 nM. Oral administration of donecopride (1 mg/kg) reduces brain soluble and insoluble amyloid-β (1-42) levels and increases the time spent exploring the novel object in the novel object recognition (NOR) test in the 5XFAD transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. Donecopride (3 mg/kg, p.o.) prevents a reduction in spontaneous alternation behavior induced by intracerebroventricular administration of soluble Aβ42 (sAβ42) in the Y-maze in mice.2
