Product Description
LY-344864 (LY344864) is a novel, potent and selective receptor agonist of 5-HT1F with Ki of 6 nM. Compared to the 56 other serotonergic and non-serotonergic neuronal binding sites that were studied, it exhibits negligible affinity. It has been demonstrated that LY344864 is a full agonist, having an impact comparable to that of serotonin.


LY 344864 (CAS#: 186544-26-3) is a selective, orally active 5-HT1F receptor agonist with a Ki of 6 nM. This small-molecule compound is a full agonist, producing effects similar in magnitude to serotonin itself. LY 344864 has been widely used in preclinical research to study migraine mechanisms and central serotonergic signaling. It served as a prototype compound supporting the development of later 5-HT1F-targeted antimigraine agents and remains a valuable pharmacological research tool. The compound exhibits the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier to some extent.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
human 5-HT1F Receptor ( IC50 = 0.006 μM ); human 5-HT1A Receptor ( IC50 = 0.530 μM ); human 5-HT1B Receptor ( IC50 = 0.549 μM );
human 5-HT1D Receptor ( IC50 = 0.575 μM ); human 5-HT1E Receptor ( IC50 = 1.415 μM ); human 5-HT2B Receptor ( IC50 = 1.695 μM );
Human 5-HT2A Receptor ( IC50 = 3.499 μM ); Human 5-HT3A Receptor ( IC50 = 3.935 mM ); Human 5-HT7 Receptor ( IC50 = 4.851 μM );
rat α2-adrenergic receptor ( IC50 = 3.69 μM ); rat α1-adrenergic receptor ( IC50 = 5.06 μM )
LY 344864 selectively targets the 5-HT1F receptor, a G protein-coupled serotonin receptor subtype. It binds with high affinity (Ki = 6 nM) and acts as a full agonist at this receptor. Activation of 5-HT1F receptors is associated with inhibition of neurogenic inflammation and vasodilation in the trigeminovascular system, which is implicated in migraine pathophysiology. Unlike other 5-HT1 receptor agonists (e.g., triptans), 5-HT1F agonists do not cause vasoconstriction, offering a potentially safer profile for migraine treatment. The compound shows selectivity for 5-HT1F over other serotonergic and non-serotonergic receptors.
ln Vitro
LY 344864 binds to human 5-HT1F, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, 5-HT3A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT7, as well as rat α1-adrenergic and rat α2-adrenergic receptors with Kis of 0.006, 0.530, 0.549, 0.575, 1.415, 3.935, 1.695, 3.499, 4.851, 5.06 and 3.69 μM, respectively[1]. LY 344864 is a inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis[2].
In vitro, LY 344864 demonstrates high affinity binding to the 5-HT1F receptor with a Ki of 6 nM. As a full agonist, it activates receptor-mediated signaling pathways, including inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and modulation of neuronal excitability. The compound shows selectivity for 5-HT1F over other serotonin receptor subtypes and non-serotonergic targets. In cellular assays, LY 344864 activates 5-HT1F receptor-mediated G protein signaling, leading to downstream effects on cAMP levels and neuronal function. The compound's in vitro profile supports its use as a tool for studying 5-HT1F receptor pharmacology.
ln Vivo
LY 344864 (0-10 ng/kg; oral or intravenous; once) inhibits neurogenic dural inflammation in a rat migraine model [1]. LY 344864 (1 mg/kg; intravenous injection; once) can cross the blood-brain barrier to a certain extent in rats [1]. LY 344864 (2 mg/kg; i.p.; daily for 14 days) attenuates dopaminergic neuron loss and improves behavioral endpoints in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease [2]. Animal model: Male Wistar rat, migraine model [1] Dosage: 1-10 ng/kg (oral), 0.3-2 ng/kg (intravenous injection) Administration method: oral, 75 minutes before trigeminal nerve stimulation or intravenously Injection, stimulation results 10 minutes before trigeminal nerve stimulation: When injected intravenously 10 minutes before stimulation, it can inhibit inflammation, with an ID50 (median infectious dose) of 0.6 ng/kg. When administered orally 75 minutes before trigeminal nerve stimulation, an ID50 of 1.2 ng/kg was obtained. Animal model: Male C57BL/6 mice, Parkinson's disease model [2] Dose: 2 mg/kg Administration: intraperitoneal injection, starting 7 days after injury, daily for 14 days Results: Compared with vehicle, Attenuated TH-ir loss in the striatum and substantia nigra-treated lesioned animals also increased locomotor activity in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned mice, whereas vehicle treatment had no effect.
In vivo, LY 344864 has been studied in preclinical models of migraine and central serotonergic signaling. Intracerebroventricular microinjection of LY 344864 inhibits methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference reinstatement in rats. The compound exhibits oral activity and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to some extent, enabling central nervous system target engagement. In animal models of migraine, 5-HT1F receptor agonists like LY 344864 inhibit neurogenic inflammation and dural vasodilation without causing vasoconstriction. The compound's in vivo profile supports the development of 5-HT1F-targeted antimigraine agents.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro receptor binding assays for LY 344864 are performed using membrane preparations from cells expressing recombinant human 5-HT1F receptors. Radiolabeled ligands such as [3H]-5-HT or [3H]-LSD are used. Membranes are incubated with varying concentrations of LY 344864 in assay buffer at room temperature for 60-90 minutes. Bound and free radioligands are separated by rapid filtration through glass fiber filters. Filter-bound radioactivity is quantified by liquid scintillation counting. Ki values are calculated using the Cheng-Prusoff equation. Selectivity is assessed by screening against a panel of serotonergic and non-serotonergic receptors, transporters, and ion channels.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for LY 344864 are performed using cell lines expressing recombinant human 5-HT1F receptors, such as CHO or HEK-293 cells. Cells are cultured in appropriate medium and seeded in 96-well plates. Cells are treated with serial dilutions of LY 344864 (0.001-10 microM) for 15-30 minutes. Intracellular cAMP levels are measured using a competitive ELISA or HTRF-based detection kit following forskolin stimulation. Agonist activity is determined by the compound's ability to inhibit forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation. EC₅0 values are calculated from dose-response curves using nonlinear regression. Potency, efficacy (relative to serotonin), and selectivity are characterized.
Animal Protocol
Male Wistar rats, migraine pain model
1-10 ng/kg (oral), 0.3-2 ng/kg (intravenous)
Oral, 75 minutes before trigeminal stimulation or intravenous, 10 minutes before trigeminal stimulation
In vivo animal studies for LY 344864 are conducted in rodent models to study serotonin signaling and migraine mechanisms. In typical protocols, rats or mice are administered LY 344864 orally, intraperitoneally, or via intracerebroventricular injection at doses of 0.1-10 mg/kg. Behavioral tests such as conditioned place preference, locomotor activity, and pain responses are assessed. In migraine models, dural blood vessel permeability and trigeminal nerve activation are measured. Brain serotonin levels and metabolite concentrations are analyzed. Pharmacokinetic parameters are determined from plasma and brain tissue samples. The compound's effects on behavior and neurochemical markers are characterized.
