Biochem/physiol Actions

Deschloroclozapine (DCZ) is a potent and selective DREADDs (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs) agonist (hM3Dq/hM4Di Ki = 6.3/4.2 nM vs hM3/hM4 Ki = 230/210 nM; hM3Dq/hM4Di EC50 = 130/81 nM by celluar BRET assays) with much greater potency than CNO and C21. DCZ selectively stimulates DREADDs, but not non-DREADDs, cells (Ca2+ EC50 = 2.3 nM/hM3Dq, cAMP IC50 = 0.0048 nM/hM4Di, β-arrestin recruitment EC50 = 0.63 nM/hM3Dq & 0.048 nM/hM4Di). DCZ enhances neuronal activity in hM3Dq mice (1 μg/kg i.p.) & monkeys (1-3 μg/kg i.v.) and induces spatial working memory deficits in hM4Di monkeys (100 μg/kg i.m.) in vivo.
Potent muscarinic-based DREADDs (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs) ligand with in vivo CNS potency.
