Clozapine

SKU: orb1310596

Description

Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic with a unique multi-receptor profile, acting as a potent serotonin 5-HT2A/2C antagonist with only weak D2 dopamine receptor blockade. It is widely used in research to study treatment-resistant schizophrenia mechanisms and receptor interactions in both in vitro binding assays and in vivo animal models.

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  α2-adrenoceptor:51 nM (Ki, inhibitor)|M1 mAChR:9.5 nM(Ki)|M4 mAChR:11 nM (EC50, agonist)|D2 Receptor:75 nM (Ki, antagonist)|5-HT2A receptor:4 nM (Ki, inhibitor)
• In Vivo:
  Clozapine significantly facilitated NMDA-evoked responses in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50: 14 nM).Clozapine produced excitatory postsynaptic potentials, which were blocked by glutamate receptor antagonists, suggesting that these excitatory postsynaptic potentials were the result of an increased release of excitatory amino acids.Clozapine is a full agonist at muscarinic M4 receptors, with an EC50=11 nM, and a -logEC50=6.52.The EC50=11 nM. Clozapine is a full agonist at muscarinic M4 receptors, with an EC50=11 nM, and inhibits forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation.Clozapine is a potent antagonist of agonist-induced responses at four other muscarinic receptor subtypes.
