(4r)4(3fluoro2methylphenyl)4,5dihydro2oxazolamine

(4R)-4-(3-Fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-2-oxazolamin was active against TRACE AMINE ASSOCIATED RECEPTOR (TAAR 1) with an EC50 of 0.017 μM and could be used to study neurological disorders.

RO5263397 is a TAAR1 specific agonist with oral activity that has been used in antidepressant studies. It has also been found to act as an inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins.

Potent trace amine 1 (TA1) receptor agonist (EC50 values are 0.12, 35 and 17-85 nM for mouse, rat and human receptors, respectively). Increases wakefulness and reduces REM and NREM sleep duration in wild type mice. Inhibits spontaneous locomotor activity in dopamine transport (DAT) knockout mice.
