5-HT2A Receptor 72 nM (IC50) 5-HT2C Receptor 103 nM (IC50) 5-HT2B Receptor 570 nM (IC50)
(-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 selectively targets the serotonin 2C receptor (5-HT2C). It functions as an agonist, meaning it binds to and activates the receptor, leading to the initiation of downstream signaling cascades. It shows a preference for the Gq signaling pathway, which is the primary transducer for 5-HT2C receptors. By activating 5-HT2C, this compound can modulate neurotransmitter release, affecting mood, appetite, and psychotic symptoms. |

| ln Vitro |
(-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 demonstrates potent and selective in vitro activity at the 5-HT2C receptor. It has an EC50 value of 103 nM for the 5-HT2C receptor, indicating high potency【3L12-L13, L16-L17】. It has lower activity at other related receptors, with EC50 values of 570 nM for 5-HT2B and 72 nM for 5-HT2A. This selectivity profile is crucial for minimizing off-target effects and provides a distinct functional fingerprint for research into specific receptor-mediated behaviors.
|
| ln Vivo |
Specific in vivo activity data for (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 is not detailed. However, as a selective 5-HT2C agonist, it is designed for in vivo research into the treatment of psychiatric disorders, as indicated by its use in antipsychotic research. 5-HT2C agonists are known to have effects on psychosis, anxiety, and impulse control in animal models. The compound is being investigated as a potential antipsychotic medication.

| Enzyme Assay |
The binding affinity and selectivity can be determined using standard radioligand binding assays with membranes from cells overexpressing human serotonin receptors. Procedure: Membranes from CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human 5-HT2C receptors are incubated with a fixed concentration of a high-affinity radioligand (e.g., [3H]Mesulergine or [125I]DOI) for 60 minutes at 27degC in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, 0.1% ascorbic acid). Varying concentrations of (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 (0.01 nM to 10 microM) are added to compete for binding. Non-specific binding is defined with 10 microM mianserin. Bound radioligand is separated by filtration through GF/B filters and counted by liquid scintillation. The inhibitory constant (Ki) is calculated from the IC50 using the Cheng-Prusoff equation.

| Cell Assay |
Functional selectivity and potency are measured by calcium mobilization assays, as 5-HT2C receptor is Gq-coupled. Procedure: CHO-K1 cells stably expressing the human 5-HT2C receptor are seeded in 384-well plates (20,000 cells/well) and incubated overnight. On the assay day, cells are loaded with a calcium-sensitive dye (e.g., Fluo-4-AM) for 60 minutes at 37degC. The plates are then placed in a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR). Following the addition of varying concentrations of (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 (e.g., 0.01 nM to 100 microM), the change in fluorescence (excitation 485 nm, emission 525 nm) is measured. The EC50 value (103 nM) is calculated from the peak fluorescence signal as a function of the compound's concentration. A parallel set of experiments is run on cells expressing 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors to determine selectivity.

| Animal Protocol |
The in vivo effects of (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 can be assessed in a mouse model for antipsychotic-like activity, such as the prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle reflex. Procedure: Male C57BL/6J mice (8-10 weeks) are administered (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 (dissolved in a suitable vehicle like 10% DMSO/90% saline) intraperitoneally at doses of 0.1, 0.3, and 1 mg/kg, 30 minutes prior to testing. The PPI test involves placing a mouse in a startle chamber. After a 5-minute acclimation period, the mouse is exposed to a series of startle pulse-alone trials (e.g., 120 dB) and prepulse + startle trials (e.g., a 74, 78, or 82 dB prepulse followed by a 120 dB startle). The percentage of prepulse inhibition is calculated. A reversal of a PPI deficit induced by a psychotomimetic drug (e.g., dizocilpine or amphetamine) is interpreted as an antipsychotic-like effect.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Specific PK data for (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 is not provided in the search results. As a small molecule (MW 351.84) with a halogen (fluorine and chlorine) substituents, it is expected to be designed for metabolic stability and good blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration. The presence of a fluorine atom is a common strategy in medicinal chemistry to improve metabolic stability and bioavailability. Further ADME studies would be required to characterize its PK profile in preclinical species.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicology data for (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3 is not available. As an agonist of the 5-HT2C receptor, potential on-target effects include nausea and decreased appetite, which are also common side effects of serotonergic drugs. The selectivity over the 5-HT2B receptor (EC50 570 nM) is important as 5-HT2B agonism is associated with cardiac valvulopathy. The compound is for research use only and not intended for human use. Standard safety precautions should be followed.

| Additional Infomation |
The 5-HT2C receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is widely expressed in the central nervous system, particularly in the choroid plexus, hippocampus, and hypothalamus. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of mood, anxiety, feeding behavior, and the control of psychotic symptoms. This has made it a major drug target for schizophrenia, depression, and obesity. (-)-5-HT2C agonist-3, with its Gq signaling preference and selectivity profile, is a valuable tool for dissecting the specific contributions of the 5-HT2C receptor to behavior and for developing novel antipsychotic medications with fewer side effects than current treatments. This product is for research use only.
