(Rac)-WAY-161503 BiologicalActivity
| Description | (Rac)-WAY-161503 is a potent, selective, highly affinity 5-HT2C receptor agonist with a Ki of 4 nM and an EC50 of 12 nM. (Rac)-WAY-161503 displays higher affinity for 5-HT2C than 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors. (Rac)-WAY-161503 has anti-obesity and antidepressant effects[1][2]. |

| In Vivo | (Rac)-WAY-161503 (3-30 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; male C57BL/6J mice) treatment dose-dependently decreases locomotor activity, an effect that is blocked by the 5-HT2C/2B antagonist SER-082. Additionally, the decreased locomotor activity produced by 10 mg/kg DOI is potentiated in the 5-HT2A KO mice[1]. Animal Model: Male C57BL/6J mice with hallucinogen 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI)[1] Dosage: 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg Administration: Intraperitoneal injection Result: Dose-dependently decreased locomotor activity, an effect that was blocked by the 5-HT2C/2B antagonist SER-082. |
