Notes: RU-24969 is an agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B.{54787} It binds to 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors (IC50s = 9.5 and 6.6 nM, respectively) and is selective for these receptors over 5-HT2 receptors in cell-free assays (IC50 = 5,120 nM). RU-24969 inhibits tritium efflux induced by the 5-HT antagonist methiothepin (Item No. 23138) in tritium-preloaded rat frontal cortex slices (pA2 = 6.27). In vivo, RU-24969 (3 mg/kg) potentiates cocaine-induced increases in nucleus accumbens dopamine levels, as well as the reinforcing effects of cocaine self-administration, in rats.{54788}
