Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

LE300 is a novel type of a nanomolar dopamine receptor antagonist combining structural core elements of dopamine and serotonin, and may become useful as positrone emission tomography ligand. LE300 shows nanomolar affinities to the hD1 receptor family, suppresses in vivo spontanous locomotor activity and attenuates locomotor activity induced by cocaine.

Product Data
Biological target:
LE 300 is a potent and selective dopamine D1-like receptor antagonist with Kis of 1.9 nM and 7.5 nM in CHO cell membranes expressing human dopamine D1 and D5 receptors, respectively.
In vitro activity:
LE300 was the most potent compound with a 10- to 20-fold selectivity for D1 over D2L receptors as measured in equilibrium binding experiments [competition radioligand binding: K(i)(D1)=1.9 nM, K(i)(D2L)=44.7 nM; [(35)S]GTPgammaS-binding: K(i)(D1)=1.8 nM, K(i)(D2L)=21.5 nM]. LE300 is currently under investigation for usefulness as positrone emission tomography ligand.

In vivo activity:
In binding assays with rat striatal receptors, 7-methyl-6,7,8,9,14,15-hexahydro-5H-benz[d]indolo[2, 3-g]azecine (LE 300) proved to be of high affinity for the D(1) binding site (K(i) = 0.08 nmol for displacement of [(3)H]SCH23390), being superior in this assay to standards such as butaclamol and SCH23390. This compound was characterized as a dopamine antagonist by conditioned avoidance response test with mice. Reference: J Med Chem. 2000 May 18;43(10):2079-81. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10821720/
