Psilocin (3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1H-indol-4-ol) is a hallucinogenic component of the Mexican mushroom Psilocybe mexicana and a skeletal serotonin (5-HT) analogue. Psilocin is the active metabolite of psilocybin (3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-1H-indol-4-yl dihydrogen phosphate). In the present study, we examined the effects of systemically administered psilocin on extracellular dopamine and 5-HT concentrations in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), nucleus accumbens, and medial prefrontal cortex of the dopaminergic pathway in awake rats using in vivo microdialysis. Intraperitoneal administration of psilocin (5, 10 mg/kg) significantly increased extracellular dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens. Psilocin did not affect the extracellular 5-HT level in the nucleus accumbens. Conversely, systemic administration of psilocin (10 mg/kg) significantly increased extracellular 5-HT levels in the medial prefrontal cortex of rats, but dopamine was decreased in this region. However, neither extracellular dopamine nor 5-HT levels in the VTA were altered by administration of psilocin. Behaviorally, psilocin significantly increased the number of head twitches. Thus, psilocin affects the dopaminergic system in the nucleus accumbens. In the serotonergic system, psilocin contribute to a crucial effect in the medial prefrontal cortex. The present data suggest that psilocin increased both the extracellular dopamine and 5-HT concentrations in the mesoaccumbens and/or mesocortical pathway.

Background:In the multinational, double-blind, double-dummy ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 phase 3 study, once-daily edoxaban was non-inferior to warfarin for prevention of stroke or systemic embolism event (SEE) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of edoxaban in patients from East Asia.Methods and Results:Patients aged ≥21 years with documented AF and CHADS score ≥2 were randomized to receive once-daily edoxaban higher-dose (60 mg) or lower-dose (30 mg) regimen or warfarin dose-adjusted to an international normalized ratio of 2.0–3.0. Patients with a creatinine clearance of 30–50 ml/min, weighing ≤60 kg, or receiving strong p-glycoprotein inhibitors at randomization or during the study received a 50% dose reduction of edoxaban or matched placebo. This prespecified subanalysis included 1,943 patients from Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea. The annualized rate of stroke/SEE for higher-dose edoxaban was 1.35% vs. 2.62% for warfarin (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31–0.90, P=0.02) and 2.52% for lower-dose edoxaban (HR, 0.98; 95% CI: 0.63–1.54, P=0.93). Compared with warfarin (4.80%), major bleeding was significantly reduced for the higher-dose (2.86%; HR, 0.61; 95% CI: 0.41–0.89, P=0.011) and lower-dose regimens (1.59%; HR, 0.34; 95% CI: 0.21–0.54, P<0.001).Conclusions:Once-daily edoxaban provided similar efficacy to warfarin while reducing major bleeding risk in the East Asian population.

Aims: The efficacy of antiplatelet therapy may vary among different disease subtypes. Prasugrel is generally a more potent, consistent, and fast-acting platelet inhibitor than clopidogrel. This sub-analysis of the phase III comparison of PRAsugrel and clopidogrel in Japanese patients with ischemic STROke (PRASTRO-I) trial aimed to assess the differences in efficacy of these treatments for each stroke subtype. Methods: In the PRASTRO-I trial, a total of 3,753 patients with ischemic stroke were recruited from 224 centers throughout Japan and randomized (1:1) to prasugrel (3.75 mg/day) or clopidogrel (75 mg/day) for 96 weeks. For the sub-analysis, strokes were classified as large-artery atherosclerosis, small-artery occlusion (lacunar), stroke of other etiology, and stroke of undetermined etiology. The cumulative incidence of primary events (ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and death from other vascular cause) and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated for each subgroup. Results: For patients with large-artery atherosclerosis, the primary event incidence was 3.8% in the prasugrel group and 4.8% in the clopidogrel group (HR 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.45–1.40). For patients with small-artery occlusion, the incidence was 3.3% in the prasugrel group and 3.9% in the clopidogrel group (HR 0.83; 95% CI 0.46–1.53). For patients with stroke of undetermined etiology, the incidence was 4.6% in the prasugrel group and 3.0% in the clopidogrel group (HR 1.56; 95% CI 0.90–2.72). The incidence of bleeding was similar across subtypes. Conclusions: Although statistical significance was not reached, the efficacy of prasugrel was potentially different between stroke subtypes, warranting further studies.

This prespecified subanalysis included 1,943 patients from Japan, China, Taiwan, and South Korea. The annualized rate of stroke/SEE for higher-dose edoxaban was 1.34% vs. 2.62% for warfarin (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31–0.90, P=0.02) and 2.52% for lower-dose edoxaban (HR, 0.98; 95% CI: 0.63–1.54, P=0.93).

Background:The short-term safety and plasma concentrations of edoxaban 15 mg once daily in Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and severe renal impairment (SRI; creatinine clearance [CLCR] ≥15 to <30 ml/min) were compared with those in NVAF patients with normal renal function or mild renal impairment (normal/MiRI; CLCR≥50 ml/min) treated with edoxaban 30 or 60 mg.Methods and Results:In this Phase 3 multicenter open-label 3 parallel-group study, SRI patients received once-daily edoxaban 15 mg (n=50), whereas normal/MiRI patients were randomized to receive either once-daily edoxaban 30 or 60 mg (n=22 and 21, respectively) for 12 weeks. Plasma edoxaban concentrations and biomarkers of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis were measured. Adverse events and thromboembolic events were recorded throughout the study. Rates of any bleeding were comparable between SRI patients receiving edoxaban 15 mg (20.0%) and normal/MiRI patients receiving edoxaban 30 or 60 mg (22.7% and 23.8%, respectively). No major bleeding or thromboembolic events occurred in any treatment group. Similar plasma concentrations and biomarker profiles were observed in SRI patients receiving edoxaban 15 mg and normal/MiRI patients receiving edoxaban 30 or 60 mg.Conclusions:In this 12-week short-term study in Japanese NVAF patients with SRI, edoxaban 15 mg once daily exhibited similar safety, plasma concentration, and biomarker profiles as did the 30-mg and 60-mg doses in patients with normal/MiRI.

Background:In 21,105 patients with atrial fibrillation in the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial, edoxaban was non-inferior to warfarin in preventing thromboembolic events while reducing bleeding. We compared results in Japan with the rest of East Asia (EA), including China, Korea, and Taiwan.Methods and Results:We compared baseline characteristics, time-in-therapeutic range (TTR) for warfarin, and outcomes (efficacy: stroke or systemic embolic events [SEE], safety: major bleeding). Interaction P values were used to assess for effect modification of treatment (higher-dose edoxaban [HDE, 60 mg/30 mg] vs. warfarin; lower-dose edoxaban [LDE, 30 mg/15 mg] vs. warfarin) by region with adjustments for baseline characteristics. Fewer patients in Japan (n=1,010) were female, taking aspirin or amiodarone, naïve to warfarin (P<0.001 for each), had a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (P=0.02), and more patients needed dose reduction (P<0.001) compared with EA (n=933). The mean TTR was higher in Japan (70% vs. 56%, P<0.001). Evidence for statistical interactions was observed for HDE vs. warfarin by region for stroke/SEE (adjusted P-int=0.052) and major bleeding (adjusted P-int=0.048) with greater relative efficacy and safety with HDE in EA compared with Japan. No interactions were observed for LDE vs. warfarin after adjustment.Conclusions:HDE had a greater relative efficacy and safety in EA compared with Japan that was only partially explained by differences in baseline characteristics and TTR.
