Centanafadine, sold under the brand name Simtriyo, is a medication used for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[1] It is a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI).[2] It is taken by mouth (orally).[1]
Centanafadine was approved for medical use in the United States in July 2026.[1]
Medical uses
[edit]Centanfadine is indicated for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in people aged six years of age and older weighing at least 20 kg (44 lb).[1]
Available forms
[edit]Centanafadine is available in the form of extended-release oral capsules.[1]
Side effects
[edit]Side effects of centanafadine include decreased appetite, nausea, rash, abdominal pain, fatigue, insomnia, dry mouth, diarrhea, irritability, elevated mood, and euphoria, among others.[1]
Interactions
[edit]Centanafadine is primarily metabolized by monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and hence should not be taken in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).[1]
Pharmacology
[edit]Pharmacodynamics
[edit]Centanafadine acts as a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI).[1][3] Its IC50 values for monoamine reuptake inhibition have been reported to be 6 nM for norepinephrine, 38 nM for dopamine, and 83 nM for serotonin.[3] Hence, the drug shows 6.3-fold preference for inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake over dopamine reuptake, 13.8-fold preference for inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake over serotonin reuptake, and 2.2-fold preference for inhibition of dopamine reuptake over serotonin reuptake.[3]
| Site | IC50 (nM) | Action | Ref |
|---|---|---|---|
| SERT | 83 nM | Inhibitor | [3] |
| NET | 6 nM | Inhibitor | [3] |
| DAT | 38 nM | Inhibitor | [3] |
Pharmacokinetics
[edit]Centanafadine is primarily metabolized by monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A).[1] The elimination half-life of centanafadine is 5.2 hours.[1]
Chemistry
[edit]Centanafadine is a substituted naphthylethylamine and cyclized phenethylamine.[4]
History
[edit]Centanafadine's development began with Euthymics Bioscience after it acquired DOV Pharmaceutical.[2] It was developed as a treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[2] In 2011, Euthymics Bioscience spun off its development of centanafadine to a new company called Neurovance.[5] In March 2017, Otsuka Pharmaceutical acquired Neurovance and the rights to centanafadine.[6] Centanafadine was approved for medical use in the United States in July 2026.[7]
Society and culture
[edit]Legal status
[edit]Centanafadine was approved for medical use in the United States in July 2026.[1] Centanafadine shows misuse liability similar to that of amphetamine in humans.[1] Its controlled substance scheduling is pending in the United States.[1]
Names
[edit]Centanafadine is the generic name of the drug and its International Nonproprietary Name (INN)[8] and United States Adopted Name (USAN).[4] It is also known by its former developmental code names EB-1020 and DOV-216419[2] and is sold under the brand name Simtriyo.[1]
Research
[edit]In addition to its approved indication of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), centanafadine is under development for the treatment of anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, and smoking withdrawal.[2] As of June 2026, it is in phase 3 clinical trials for anxiety disorders and is in phase 2 trials for major depressive disorder and smoking withdrawal.[2] The drug was also under development for the treatment of binge-eating disorder and neuropathic pain, but development for these indications was discontinued.[2]
