Bioactivity | (S)-Amisulpride (Esamisulpride) is a potent dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist. (S)-Amisulpride is an antagonist at the 5-HT7 receptor with a KI of 900 nM. (S)-Amisulpride has antipsychotic and antidepressant effects[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | (S)-Amisulpride (Esamisulpride) displays high affinity binding at both D2 and D3 receptors and is approximately twice as potent as racamisulpride and 20–50 times more potent than (R)-amisulpride at these receptors[2] | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | The (S)-amisulpride (10mg/kg, s.c.) stimulus is rapidly acquired and was shown to be dose-related, time dependent (effective between 30 and 120min) and stereoselective male C57BL/6 mice[1]. | ||||||||||||
