MKC-242
MKC-242 is a serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist. It is used in scientific research and has been studied for potential therapeutic uses.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
MKC-242 is a highly selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist, with a Ki of 0.23 nM at the 5-HT1A receptor and over 1000 times selectivity over other serotonin receptors. It has antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in animal studies, and also enhances cognition.
Potential Therapeutic Uses[edit | edit source]
MKC-242 has been studied for potential therapeutic uses. Its high selectivity for the 5-HT1A receptor and its effects in animal studies suggest it may have potential in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and cognitive disorders. However, further research is needed to determine its efficacy and safety in humans.
