| Description: |
A-381393 is a potent, selective, brain penetrate dopamine D4 receptor antagonist, with Kis of 1.5, 1.9 and 1.6 nM for human dopamine D4.4, D4.2, and D4.7 receptor, respectively, >2700-fold selectivity over D1, D2, D3 and D5 dopamine receptors. A-381393 shows moderate affinity for 5-HT2A (Ki, 370 nM)[1]. |
