Partial agonist efficacy of EMD386088, a 5-HT6 receptor ligand, in functional in vitro assays.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2013, Vol 65, Issue 4
Abstract
Over recent years, the 5-hydroxytryptamine6 (5-HT6) receptor has emerged as a promising molecular target which interacts with several central nervous system acting drugs. In animal models, both agonists and antagonists of this receptor exhibit equivalent potency and efficacy as potential antidepressants, anxiolytics and anti-obesity or anti-dementia drugs. EMD386088 (5-chloro-2-methyl-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl)-1H-indole hydrochloride) has been described as a high affinity 5-HT6 receptor ligand with a full agonist activity and with moderate affinity for 5-HT3 sites.

Effect of p-isopropoxyphenylsuccinimide monohydrate on the anticonvulsant action of carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and valproate in the mouse maximal electroshock-induced seizure model.
This study was designed to determine the effects of p-isopropoxyphenylsuccinimide monohydrate (IPPS) on the protective action of four classical antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and valproate)...
Interactions between drugs and sulforaphane modulate the drug metabolism enzymatic system.
Background: Sulforaphane (SFN) is a potent chemopreventive agent, which is widely consumed in diet or as a diet supplement. It modulates the enzymes of II and III metabolism phase. In this paper, the influence of SFN and...
Potential role of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heterodimerization in neuropsychiatric disorders: a focus on depression.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of membrane proteins in the human genome and are the target of approximately half of all therapeutic drugs. For many years, GPCRs were thought to exist and...
Study into a possible mechanism responsible for the antidepressant-like activity of the selective 5-HT(6) receptor antagonist SB-399885 in rats.
The mechanism of the antidepressant-like activity of the selective 5-hydroxytryptamine(6) (5-HT(6) receptor antagonist N-[3,5-dichloro-2-(methoxy)phenyl]-4-(methoxy)-3-(1-piperazinyl)benzenesulfonamide (SB-399885) was st...
Role of endothelin-1 receptor blockers on hemodynamic parameters and oxidative stress.
Endothelin (ET) was first isolated and described by Yanagisawa et al. and has since been described as one of the most potent known vasoconstrictor compounds. ET-1 mediates its effects via two types of receptors, ETA and...
