Description
Sources: https://www.ecnp.eu/~/media/Files/ecnp/Projects%20and%20initiatives/Medicines%20Chest/MDL100907.pdf | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11527004

Volinanserin (MDL-100,907) is a highly selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. It is widely used in scientific research to investigate the function of the 5-HT2A receptor. Volinanserin is also being trialed as a potential antipsychotic, antidepressant and treatment for insomnia. Volinanserin (M-100907) was in phase III trials for chronic schizophrenia. In August 1999, development was discontinued for acute schizophrenia (schizoaffective disorder) on the basis of poor results. M-100907 is also active in animal models involving blockade of NMDA glutamatergic channel receptors, an effect known to resemble some behavioral symptoms of schizophrenia in man. M-100907 is also claimed in other patents for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders, for the treatment of various developmental neurological disorders such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Schizophrenia treatment: an oral dose of 20 mg per day ensures adequate 5HT(2A) receptor occupancy for clinical proof of concept.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

The selective 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist Volinanserin (0.05 uM), strongly enhanced the reversal of amphetamine-induced inhibition by (-)sulpiride in A10, but its effectiveness was much smaller in A9 dopamine neurons in in rat midbrain slices.
