    Product Description

    ORG 12962 is an agonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT2C with an EC50 value of 97.72 nM in a FLIPR-based intracellular calcium assay using CHO-K1 cells expressing the human receptor.1 It is selective for 5-HT2C over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors (EC50s = 419.87 and 524.81 nM, respectively). ORG 12962 (1 and 3.2 mg/kg) has anti-aversive effects in a rat model of panic anxiety induced by dorsolateral periaqueductal gray matter (dPAG) stimulation.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
