Biological Activity

Description CNO (Clozapine N-oxide) is a metabolite of Clozapine (GLXC-06516) and an agonist of human muscarinic designer receptors (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs, DREADDs). Clozapine is a potent dopamine (DA) antagonist and a selective muscarinic M4 receptor agonist.Solutions are unstable and should be fresh-prepared.
Targets
DREADD [1] Dopamine receptor [2] muscarinic M4 receptor [1]
In vitro

CNO is a synthetic small molecule actuator for muscarinic acetylcholine DREADDs.
In vivo

Clozapine N-oxide (CNO), an agonist of human muscarinic designer receptor (DREADDs), is converted to clozapine and exerts clozapine-like behavioral effects in both mice and rats further emphasizes the need for appropriate control groups in studies employing DREADDs.[4]
