UNII JW5Y7B8Z18 - GEPIRONE
|
|
The mechanism of the antidepressant effect of gepirone is not fully understood but is thought to be related to its modulation of serotonergic activity in the CNS through selective agonist activity at 5HT1A receptors. The pharmacological activity of gepirone is attributed to the parent drug and its major metabolites 3'-OH-gepirone and 1-PP. Gepirone and its 3'-OH metabolite bind to 5HT1A receptors (Ki = 38 nM and 58 nM, respectively), where they act as agonists, while the 1-PP metabolite binds to alpha2 receptors (Ki = 42 nM). |
