Bioactivity | FAUC 213 is an orally active and highly selective dopamine D4 receptor complete antagonist with a Ki of 2.2 nM for hD4.4. FAUC 213 has less activity on D2 and D3 receptors (Kis of 3.4 μM, 5.3 μM for hD2, hD3, respectively). FAUC 213 can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). FAUC 213 exhibits atypical antipsychotic characteristic[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | FAUC 213 inhibits p5-HT1 (Ki=1.2 μM),p5-HT2 (Ki=0.52 μM),pα1 (Ki=0.27 μM)[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | FAUC 213 (7.5-30 mg/kg; orally; single dose) significantly reduces this elevation in AMPH-induced locomotor hyper-activity only pre-treatment with 30 mg/kg. FAUC 213 significantly restores the prepulse inhibition (PPI) reduction caused by the apomorphine (APO) treatment with 30 mg/kg[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
