postsynaptic d2 receptor

lumateperone Tosylate (ITI-007) is a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist (Ki: 0.54 nM), a SERT blocker (Ki: 61 nM), a partial agonist of presynaptic D2 receptors and an antagonist of postsynaptic D2 receptors (Ki: 32 nM).

Prostaglandin D2 ethanolamide (PGD2-EA) is a bioactive lipid produced by the sequential metabolism of anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide) by cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, in particular by COX-2, and PGD synthase. The biosynthesis of PGD2-EA from anandamide can also be increased when anandamide metabolism is diminished by deletion of fatty acid amide hydrolase. PGD2-EA is inactive against recombinant prostanoid receptors, including the D prostanoid receptor. It increases the frequency of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents in primary cultured hippocampal neurons, an effect which is the opposite of that induced by anandamide.. PGD2-EA also induces apoptosis in colorectal carcinoma cell lines.

OPC 4392 hydrochloride acts as an agonist at presynaptic dopamine receptors (dopamine receptor) and as an antagonist at postsynaptic D2 receptors. It reverses dopamine accumulation induced by Reserpine and inhibits stereotyped and climbing behaviors in a mouse model induced by Apomorphine.

Lumateperone (ITI 722) is a 5HT2A receptor antagonist and a dopamine receptor phosphoprotein modulator (DPPM).
