Siramesine fumarate  (Synonyms: LU-28-179 fumarate)

Siramesine (Lu 28-179) fumarate is a potent sigma-2 receptor agonist. Siramesine fumarate has a subnanomolar affinity for sigma-2 receptors (IC₅₀=0.12?nM) and exhibits a 140-fold selectivity for sigma-2 receptors over sigma-1 receptors (IC₅₀=17?nM). Siramesine fumarate triggers cell death through destabilisation of mitochondria, but not lysosomes. Anti-cancer activity^[1][2][3].

Siramesine fumarate displays the binding affinities: IC₅₀ (sigma 1)=17 nM, IC₅₀ (sigma 2)=0.12 nM, IC₅₀ (5-HT_1A)=21000 nM, IC₅₀ (5-HT_1A)=2000 nM, IC₅₀ (D₂)=800 nM, IC₅₀ (alpha 1)=330 nM^[1].
Siramesine fumarate (0-50μM; 8 hours) induces cell death in various cell lines (HaCaT, Hsc-4, HeLa and MCF-7, neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y and glioblastoma cell line U-87MG)^[2].
Siramesine fumarate (0-40 μM; 2-48 hours) activates caspases in HaCaT and in U-87MG cells^[2].
