| Bioactivity | LIT-001 free base is the first nonpeptide oxytocin receptor (OT-R) agonist (EC50=55 nM; Ki=226 nM). LIT-001 free base improves social interaction in a mouse model of autism[1]. |
| Invitro | In vitro signaling experiments, LIT-001 free base is a nonbiased OT-R agonist on the two main signaling pathways of this receptor, with minor antagonist effect on V1a and agonist effect on V1b receptors, observed at high concentrations only[1]. |
| In Vivo | LIT-001 free base (10-20 mg/kg; i.p.) alleviates core symptoms in the context of autism spectrum disorders (ASD )[1]. Animal Model: |
