PF-06655075, also known as PF1 or as ASK1476, is a peripherally selective long-acting peptide oxytocin receptor agonist which is used in scientific research.[1][2][3] It is a lipidated analogue of oxytocin with dramatically enhanced metabolic stability and increased oxytocin receptor selectivity.[1][4][5]

PF-06655075 is a highly potent near-full agonist of the oxytocin receptor with similar affinity and potency as oxytocin itself (Ki = 0.037 nM; EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 0.025 nM; EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy = 90%) and to a much lesser extent is an antagonist of the vasopressin V1A receptor (Ki = 4.37 nM; EC50 = >1,000 nM).[1][3] It is also a potent agonist of the vasopressin V2 receptor (EC50 = 0.36 nM), with about 14-fold lower activational potency than at the oxytocin receptor.[3] The drug has been found to inhibit conditioned fear-induced freezing behavior and anxiety in rodents when given either centrally or peripherally.[1][4][5] It has been found to decrease alcohol consumption when given centrally but not peripherally in rodents.[2][6][7][8] In addition, PF-06655075 robustly reduced food intake and body weight when given peripherally in rodents similarly to oxytocin but with less frequent and more convenient administration.[1]

Whereas oxytocin itself has an extremely short plasma elimination half-life, for instance 2 to 4 minutes in humans and 7 minutes in rats, PF-06655075 showed had a half-life of 8.5 hours by intravenous injection in rats.[1] Non-depot subcutaneous injection resulted in an oxytocin half-life of 0.5 hours and a PF-06655075 half-life of 3.2 hours, whereas depot subcutaneous injection gave an oxytocin half-life of 7.3 hours and a PF-06655075 half-life of 309 hours.[1] Both oxytocin and PF-06655075 are highly peripherally selective, with oxytocin showing a brain-to-plasma ratio of approximately 1% and PF-06655075 showing a ratio of about 2%.[1] Unlike oxytocin, which is not highly bound to plasma proteins, PF-06655075 shows high plasma protein binding, and this is involved in its resistance to metabolism and longer duration.[1]

The chemical synthesis of PF-06655075 has been described.[1] An analogue of PF-06655075, PF-06478939 (PF2), has also been described.[1]

PF-06655075 was developed by Pfizer for use as a tool in scientific research and was first described in the scientific literature by 2016.[1]

Recently, a long-acting OTR agonist named PF-06655075, containing a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) spacer and a palmitoyl group conjugated to Lys(8) of the peptide sequence, was shown to have an extended half-life (around 20 h) with efficacy in modulating fear in a rodent model of anxiety.32

This is a non-brain-penetrant peptide with increased selectivity for the OT-R. In 2016, Modi et al. [170] showed that both central and peripheral administration of PFI inhibited freezing in response to a conditioned stimulus using the conditioned fear paradigm. Interestingly, it was shown that peripheral PFI administration resulted in a sustained level in plasma concentration for more than 20 h, but did not induce a detectable level at the brain tissue level. As a result, the authors suggest that exposure to plasma or cerebrospinal fluid might be sufficient to evoke the described behavioral effects.

PMC 7382982. PMID 31988201. In collaboration with researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, we found that intracerebroventricular oxytocin or the non–blood barrier penetrant OXTR agonist PF-06655075 blocked the enhanced motivation and escalated alcohol drinking seen in dependent rats. In addition, peripheral administration of PF-06655075 did not decrease drinking and systemic administration of the peripherally restricted OXTR antagonist L-371,257 did not block the effects of centrally administered oxytocin (Tunstall et al. 2019). These results suggest oxytocin acts in the brain to decrease excessive alcohol drinking seen with alcohol dependence.
