SSc is associated with the highest case-specific mortality of all rheumatic autoimmune diseases with limited antifibrotic treatment options. Here, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of the highly selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B receptor (5-HT<sub>2B</sub>R) inhibitor AM1476.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The antifibrotic effects of AM1476 were evaluated in the mouse models of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, in tight-skin-1 (Tsk-1) mice and in mice with sclerodermatous chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD). For further validation, the antifibrotic effects of AM1476 were analyzed in precision cut skin (PCS) slices from SSc patients.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>AM1476 demonstrated high selectivity for 5-HT<sub>2B</sub>R over more than 200 other receptors including other 5-HT receptors in vitro. AM1476 reduced accumulation of hydroxyproline and fibrotic tissue remodeling of skin and/or lung in all three mouse models at well tolerated doses with a comparable efficacy to that of Nintedanib. In PCS of SSc skin, treatment with AM1476 reduced the expression of SSc-specific signature genes. AM1476 demonstrated more pronounced regulation of terms related to fibroblast activation and fibrotic remodeling than mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>We describe AM1476 as a highly selective inhibitor of 5-HT<sub>2B</sub>R. Treatment with AM1476 ameliorated fibrosis in three mouse models of SSc and normalized the expression of fibrosis-related genes directly in SSc skin. As AM1476 also demonstrated good tolerability in a phase I trial, further clinical trials with AM1476 are currently in the planning stage.</p>","PeriodicalId":129,"journal":{"name":"Arthritis & Rheumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
