Bioactivity | BMY 28674 (6-Hydroxybuspirone) is the active metabolite of the anxiolytic buspirone. It is formed from buspirone via the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozyme CYP3A4.4. BMY 28674 binds to the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT1A in the rat hippocampus and dorsal raphe (EC50s are 4 and 1 μM, respectively) and is an antagonist of dopamine D2, D3, and D4 receptors (IC50s are 3.1, 4.9, and 0.85 μM, respectively). It also inhibits organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1), OCT2, and OCT3 expressing human transporters in S2 proximal tubule cells in a concentration-dependent manner. |
