Description
IC50 & Target
[1]|
D3 Receptor 0.37 nM (IC50) |
5-HT2A Receptor 4.19 nM (IC50) |
In Vitro
Obuprazine acts as a potent agonist in cells stably expressing the dopamine D3 receptor, reducing cAMP levels with an EC50 of 0.6 nM[1].
Obuprazine potently inhibits 5-HT2A receptor-mediated calcium flux in stably expressing cells with an IC50 of 2.21 nM[1].
