Biological Activity for Deschloroclozapine

Deschloroclozapine is a high affinity and highly potent activator of muscarinic DREADDs (K_i values are 6.3 nM for hM₃D_q and 4.2 nM for hM₄D_i, in vitro; EC₅₀ values are 0.13 nM for hM₃D_q and 0.081 nM for hM₄D_i, in vitro). Derivative of clozapine (Cat. No. 0444). Exhibits 100-fold greater affinity for hM₃D_q and hM₄D_i compared to clozapine N-oxide (CNO; Cat. No. 4936), and 50-fold greater affinity compared to DREADD agonist 21 (Cat. No. 5548). Displays low 'off-target' receptor binding (K_i >100 nM at majority of GPCRs, ion channels and transporters tested). Displays rapid (approx. 10 minutes after i.p injection) binding and activation of hM₃D_q and hM₄D_i in mice and non-human primates. Induces spatial memory deficits in non-human primates expressing hM₄D_i in the prefrontal cortex.
