3-[(3-Fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]-N,N-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-ethanamine Dihydrochloride is the dihydrochloride salt of 3-[(3-Fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]-N,N-dimethyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-ethanamine which is a selective 5-HT6 receptor agonist. It has been proven to have antidepressant and anxiolytic effects on rats suggesting its usefulness as a potential antidepressant.
WAY-208466 is a high affinity (Ki = 4.8 nM) 5-HT6 receptor agonist. In HeLa cells expressing cloned human 5-HT6, the compound induced cAMP production (EC50 = 7.3 nM; Emax = 100%). WAY-208466 increases cortical GABA levels and exhibits anxiolytic activity in r at studies.
