Cross-Species Triage of SERT-Oriented Polyheteroaryl Candidates Prioritizes AD20/UtIA-0108 as an Early Neuroactive Candidate.
Article in Current issues in molecular biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Depression and stress-related disorders remain important targets for the development of new neuroactive compounds. We evaluated three imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine derivatives, selected by a SERT-oriented computational screen, using chemical characterization, zebrafish embryo toxicity, larval and adult zebrafish behavioural assays, mouse behavioural HPLC, and qPCR experiments. AD19/UtIA-0167 had the highest computational consensus but showed greater embryo toxicity and no consistent advantage in adult zebrafish. AD20/UtIA-0108 showed a distinct larval locomotor profile, increased middle-zone occupancy after chronic exposure in stressed adult zebrafish, and was therefore examined in mice. Chronic AD20 increased latency to enter the dark compartment; whereas, time in the light compartment, open-field measures and forced-swim immobility were unchanged. HPLC and qPCR changes were region-specific and did not demonstrate direct SERT engagement. AD20 should therefore be regarded as an early neuroactive candidate from a SERT-oriented screen, not as a confirmed SERT inhibitor or antidepressant. Interpretation across species is limited by the duplicated zebrafish serotonin-transporter system, waterborne exposure and the limited scope of the mouse behavioural effect. Direct transporter assays, pharmacokinetic studies and independent behavioural replication are required.
