Definition
ChEBI: 5-propoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine is a pyrrolopyridine.
Biological Activity
Potent, selective 5-HT 1B agonist (K i values are 89, 2, 860, 49 and 1,600 nM for 5-HT 1A , 5-HT 1B , 5-HT 1C , 5-HT 1D and 5-HT 2 receptors respectively). Centrally active upon systemic administration in vivo .
Biochem/physiol Actions
CP-94,253 is a potent and selective serotonin 5-HT1B receptor agonist with approximately 25x and 40x selectivity over the closely related 5-HT1D and 5-HT1A receptors. Ki values are 89, 2, 860, 49 and 1,600 nM for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, 5-HT1D and 5-HT2 receptors respectively. CP-94,253 was found to be anxiolytic in animal models; dose-dependently enhanced reinforcing effects of cocaine (self-administration);and reduced food intake.
