OPC-14523 hydrochloride is an orally active sigma and 5-HT1A receptor agonist, with high affinity for sigma receptors (σ1/2 IC50=47/56 nM), the 5-HT1A receptor (IC50=2.3 nM), and the 5-HT transporter (IC50=80 nM). OPC-14523 hydrochloride shows antidepressant-like activity[1][2].
OPC-14523 hydrochloride inhibits the in vitro reuptake of 3 H-5-HT (IC50=27 nM), but it shows very weak inhibitory activity on 3H-NE and 3H-DA reuptake[1].
OPC-14523 hydrochloride (0.3-100 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 0, 2, 4, 7 days) produces a marked antidepressant-like effect in the forced swimming test (FST) with rats and mice without affecting the general locomotor activity[1].
