Description

Fananserin (RP 62203) is an orally bioavailable, potent and selective 5-hydroxytryptamine2 (5-HT2) receptor antagonist, with a Ki of 0.37 nM for the rat 5-HT2A receptor. Fananserin also is a selective dopamine D4 receptor antagonist, with a Ki of 2.93 nM for the human dopamine D4 receptor .

Biological activity

In Vitro Fananserin is relatively selective for 5-HT2 receptor, having lower affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor and very low affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor. Fananserin displaces [3H]spiperone binding to recombinant human dopamine D 4 receptors with a Ki of 2.93 nM. RP 62203 displays low to moderate affinity for α1-adrenoceptors, dopamine D2 receptors and histamine H 1 receptors. In Vivo Fananserin displaces [125I]AMIK from 5-HT2 receptors with an IC50 of 0.21 nM in rat frontal cortex. Fananserin shows moderate affinity for alpha 1-adrenoceptors in the rat thalamus (IC50 = 14 nM) and for histamine H1 receptors in the guinea-pig cerebellum (IC50 = 13 nM). Fananserin (0.5-4 mg/kg; p.o.) increases the duration of deep nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep at the expense of wakefulness in a dose-dependent manner.
