Notes: Ro 04-6790 is an antagonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT6 (Ki = 44.7 nM).{62224} It is selective for 5-HT6 receptors over a panel of 23 additional receptors at 10 µM. Ro 04-6790 inhibits 5-HT-induced cAMP production in HeLa cells expressing human 5-HT6 (pA2 = 6.75). In vivo, Ro 04-6790 (10 and 30 mg/kg) induces stretching and yawning behavior in rats. It reverses scopolamine-induced decreases in novel object discrimination in rats.{62223} Ro 04-6790 (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg) also attenuates cue-induced cocaine-seeking behavior in rats.{62225}
