AMI-193 is an antagonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT2A and the dopamine D2 receptor.1,2 It is selective for the 5-HT2A receptor over 5-HT2B and 5-HT1C receptors (Kis = 22.39, 977.24, and 1,548.82 nM, respectively) but does bind to the 5-HT1A receptor (Ki = 50 nM). It selectively binds to the dopamine D2 receptor over the dopamine D1 receptor (Kis = 3 and 2,530 nM, respectively).2 AMI-193 (0.05 mg/kg) completely inhibits amphetamine-induced increases in locomotor activity and rearing behavior in rats for at least three hours.3 It also reduces amphetamine-induced increases in locomotor activity and rearing behavior in mice when used at doses of 0.15 and 0.2 mg/kg but the effects only last for 30 minutes.
