Description
A 5-HT1A receptor mixed antagonist and partial agonist; inhibits radioligand binding to 5-HT1A sites in rat hippocampal membranes (Ki = 2 nM); decreases 5-carboxamidotryptamine-mediated inhibition of forskolin-induced adenylyl cyclase activity in guinea pig hippocampal membranes; antagonizes α1-ARs (pA2s = 9.47, 9.02, and 9.99 in isolated rat tail artery, rabbit aorta, and rat aorta, respectively); decreases blood pressure in anesthetized rats from 1-300 μg/kg; inhibits phenylephrine-induced pressor responses in pithed rats; potentiates the circadian response to light in dark-adapted and entrained hamsters at 5 mg/kg, i.p.
