Biochem/physiol Actions

WAY-163909 is a 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (5-HT2C) agonist (EC50/Emax = 8 nM/90% vs. 185 nM/40%/5-HT2B; Ki = 10.5 nM/5-HT2C, 212 nM/5-HT2A, 343 nM/5-HT7, 485 nM/5-HT2B, 245 nM/D4, 665 nM/rat α-1, >1 μM/5-HT1A, D2, D3, rat 5-HT-T) with no 5-HT2A-stimulatory potency. WAY-163909 exhibits anorectic (ED50 in mg/kg via i.p. = 1.4/DIO mice and 5.19/Zucker rats), antipsychotic (morphine-induced mouse climbing ID50 = 10.69 mg/kg i.p.; rat avoidance responding reduction ED50 = 1.27 mg/kg i.p. and 6.50 mg/kg p.o.) and antidepressant (10 mg/kg, i.p. or s.c. in forced rat swimming test ; 3 mg/kg/day i.p. in reducing olfactory bulbectomy/BULB-induced hyperactivity in rats) efficacy in vivo.

The pharmacological profile of WAY-163909 [(7bR, 10aR)-1,2,3,4,8,9,10,10a-octahydro-7bH-cyclopenta-[b][1,4]diazepino[6,7,1hi]indole], a novel 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT)(2C) (serotonin) receptor-selective agonist is presented. WAY-163909 displaced [(125)I]2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine binding from human 5-HT(2C) receptor sites, in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell membranes, with a K(i) value of 10.5 +/- 1.1

Serotonin-2C (5-HT2C) receptor antagonists and agonists have been shown to affect dopamine (DA) neurotransmission, with agonists selectively decreasing mesolimbic DA. As antipsychotic efficacy is proposed to be associated with decreased mesolimbic DA neurotransmission by virtue of DA D2 receptor antagonism
Maylen Perez Diaz et al.
Neuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, 44(3), 478-486 (2018-09-07)
Perseverative behavior has been highly implicated in addiction. Activation of serotonin 2C receptors (5-HT2CRs) attenuates cocaine and high caloric food intake, but whether a 5-HT2CR agonist can reduce high caloric diet (HCD) or methamphetamine (METH) intake and response perseveration remains
Benjamin U Phillips et al.
Psychopharmacology, 235(7), 2101-2111 (2018-04-24)
Dysregulation of the serotonin (5-HT) system is a pathophysiological component in major depressive disorder (MDD), a condition closely associated with abnormal emotional responsivity to positive and negative feedback. However, the precise mechanism through which 5-HT tone biases feedback responsivity remains
Melis Odabas-Geldiay et al.
Drug and alcohol dependence, 194, 252-256 (2018-11-24)
Serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonists and 5-HT2C receptor agonists have been proposed as important candidates for the development of pharmacotherapies for psychostimulant abuse, with evidence suggesting that those receptors may act together to control behavior. However, the role of 5-HT2A receptors
