Biological Activity for Clozapine N-oxide (CNO)

Clozapine N-oxide is a synthetic ligand for human muscarinic engineered receptors, designer receptors activated by designer drugs (DREADD). Binds and activates hM₃D_q and hM₄D_i DREADDs in vitro and in vivo. Metabolite of Clozapine (Cat. No. 0444). Shown to be a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump substrate.

Example Applications of Clozapine N-oxide (CNO):

Silences hippocampal neurons expressing hM₄D_i DREADDs in vitro
Inhibits locomotor activity of mice expressing hM₃D_q in GABAergic VTA neurons
Inhibits short term memory retrieval in mice expressing hM₄D_i in hippocampal neurons
Induces heat and mechanical hypersensitivity in mice expressing hM₄D_i in enkephalinergic neurons in the right lumbar dorsal horn
Inhibits markers of social aggression in mice expressing hM₄D_i in hippocampal CA2 neurons

Alternative potent and selective hM₃D_q and hM₄D_i DREADD agonists available: Deschloroclozapine and DREADD agonist 21

Water soluble salt also available.

This product contains 1 molar equivalent of ethanol.
