ONO-2952 is more selective for TSPO than other receptors, transporters, ion channels, and enzymes. ONO-2952 is a potent and selective translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) antagonist (Ki: 0.33-9.30 nM for rat and human TSPO). ONO-2952 has the potential for i
R-84760 is a κ-opioid receptor agonist. R-84760 produces an extremely potent antinociceptive effect against tonic pain through the kappa-opioid receptors; the sites of action of subcutaneously administered R-84760 are the supraspinal and spinal loci in th
DSP 4 is a selective neurotoxin selective for noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus noradrenergic system and capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier and cyclizes to a reactive aziridinium derivative that is accumulated into the noradrenergic ne
PSAM (pharmacologically selective actuator module) agonist. Activates PSAML141F-GlyR chimeric ion channels. Inhibits activity of neurons expressing PSAML141F-GlyR in vivo and activates locus coeruleus noradrenergic neurons expressing PSAML141F,Y115F-5-HT3 ion channels. Recommended concentration for use in mice is 5 mg kg or lower. Plasmid vectors for the transfection of cells with PSAML141F-GlyR and PSAML141F,Y115F-5-HT3 are available from Addgene.

Moxonidine Hydrochloride is a selective agonist at the imidazoline receptor subtype 1, used as antihypertensive agent. Target: I1-R Moxonidine Hydrochloride is a centrally acting antihypertensive agent. Mixed Nischarin (I1 imidazoline receptor) and α2-AR (adrenergic) agonist; displays 40-fold higher affinity for I1 receptors versus α2-adrenoceptors. Moxonidine reduced stimulated NE overflow (log EC50: -6.15 + - 0.14). AGN192403, a selective ligand at I1-R, had no influence on the dose-response curve of moxonidine (log EC50: -6.01 + - 0.25). The hypotensive and bradycardic actions of moxonidine but not clonidine are mediated through imidazoline receptors and are dependent on intact noradrenergic pathways within the RVLM. Furthermore, the noradrenergic innervation may be associated with a 42 kDa imidazoline receptor protein.
FFN 270 is a fluorescent false neurotransmitter (FFN). Fluorescent substrate for NET and VMAT2. Labels noradrenergic neurons and their synaptic vesicles, and enables imaging of synaptic vesicle content release from specific axonal sitesin vivo. Selectively labels NA neurons over other monoamine and CNS targets. Exhibits two resolved absorption/excitation maxima depending on solvent pH (excitation maxima: 320 nm or 365 nm, emission maxima: 475 nm).
