NEW DRUG DEVELOPMENTS

OBJETIVO: Repasar la farmacología, farmacocinética, eficacia clínica, y seguridad de rimonabant, un nuevo antagonista canabinoide selectivo.

FUENTES DE INFORMACIÓN: Se obtuvo literatura primaria y artículos de repaso mediante una búsqueda bibliográfica en MEDLINE (1966 a noviembre de 2004). Estudios y extractos adicionales fueron identificados de la lista de referencias de la literatura revisada.

SELECCIÓN Y EXTRACCIÓN DE DATOS: Se revisaron estudios y artículos de repaso relacionados con rimonabant y el sistema endocanabinoide y se extrajeron datos pertinentes a este artículo.

SÍNTESIS: Rimonabant es un antagonista canabinoide selectivo. Datos recientes han demostrado efectos beneficiosos de rimonabant en obesidad, dejar de fumar, y síndrome metabólico. Estudios en animales que han utilizado rimonabant han demostrado que juega un papel positivo en disminuir el apetito, la ingesta calórica, el peso corporal, y en aumentar la saciedad. En humanos, rimonabant aparenta ser efectivo para el tratamiento de obesidad y para dejar de fumar. Estudios en progreso examinarán el efecto de rimonabant en el tratamiento de obesidad, síndrome metabólico, dejar de fumar, y abuso de alcohol. Hasta el momento, la incidencia de efectos adversos con rimonabant ha sido un poco mayor que con placebo, siendo el más común nausea.

CONCLUSIONES: Rimonabant aparenta ser un fármaco prometedor en una categoría nueva de fármacos llamada antagonistas selectivos del receptor canabinoide. El fármaco pudiera aprobarse para el tratamiento de obesidad y para dejar de fumar en el 2005. Estudios adicionales que se encuentran en progreso podrían ofrecer información sobre otros usos clínicos para este medicamento.
