PD 117302 is a nonpeptide opioid compound. It is a selective kappa-opioid agonist. PD 117302 causes naloxone-reversible locomotor impairment and diuresis. It is an Anti-Arrhythmia Agent, an Anticonvulsants, a Cardiovascular Agent, and a Central Nervous Sy
ZCZ011 is a positive allosteric modulator of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor. ZCZ011 is brain penetrant, increased the potency of orthosteric agonists in mouse behavioral assays indicative of cannabimimetic activity, including antinociception, hypothermia, c
ZK-95962 is an agonist gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. ZK-95962 had selective effects on releasing exploratory locomotor activity suppressed by footshock (punished crossings). ZK-95962 had weak effects on the measures of anxiolytic activity. The
The metallo-protein Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a ubiquitous enzyme responsible for scavenging superoxide radicals. Mutations in SOD1, which alter its metal binding capacity and can result in protein misfolding and aggregation, have been linked to familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cu-ATSM is an orally bioavailable, blood-brain barrier permeable complex that has traditionally been used in cellular imaging experiments to selectively label hypoxic tissue via its susceptibility to reduction by oxygen-depleted mitochondria. More recently, Cu-ATSM has been reported to improve locomotor function and survival in a transgenic ALS mouse model by delivering copper specifically to cells in the spinal cords of mice producing misfolded SOD1 proteins. Copper chaperone for SOD (CCS) is presumed to utilize the copper from Cu-ATSM to prevent misfolding of the SOD1 protein.
Potent trace amine 1 (TA1) receptor agonist (EC50 values are 0.12, 35 and 17-85 nM for mouse, rat and human receptors, respectively). Increases wakefulness and reduces REM and NREM sleep duration in wild type mice. Inhibits spontaneous locomotor activity in dopamine transport (DAT) knockout mice.

N,N-Dipropyldopamine is a dopamine receptor agonist.1,2,3 It decreases dihydrophenylalanine (DOPA) levels in the limbic forebrain and striatum of reserpinized rats (ED50s = 25 and 20 μmol kg, respectively), as well as reduces homovanillic acid levels in rat striatum when administered at a dose of 80 μmol kg.1 N,N-Dipropyldopamine (0.5-16 mg kg) reduces spontaneous locomotor activity in mice, an effect that can be reversed by the antipsychotic spiroperidol.2,3
