Lesopitron dihydrochloride is a full and selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist with IC50 of 125 nM in rat hippocampal membranes.

In vitro binding and autoradiographic studies with [3H]8-OH-DPAT and [3H]Lesopitron as radioligands confirm that Lesopitron binds to 5-HT1A receptors in the rat brain with a relatively high affinity (pKi=7.35). As expected of a full agonist at postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, Lesopitron (IC50=125 nM) inhibits forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in rat hippocampal membranes to the same extent as 5-HT. Lesopitron inhibits the firing of serotoninergic neurons both in vitro (in brainstem slices, IC50=120 nM)[1].

Lesopitron inhibits the firing of serotoninergic neurons both in vivo (in chloral hydrate-anaesthetized rats, ID50=35 μg/kg i.v.)[1]. Lesopitron administered at a dose which induces anxiolytic behaviour in rats (30 μg/kg, i.p.) markedly reduces 5-HT levels (to 45% of the basal value) in cortical perfusates[2].
