SB-269970 is adrug and research chemical developed byGlaxoSmithKline used in scientific studies. It is believed to act as a selective5-HT7receptorantagonist (EC50 = 1.25 nM) (or possiblyinverse agonist). A subsequent study in guinea pig at a concentration of 10 μM showed that it also blocks theα2-adrenergic receptor.[1][2][3] The large difference in test concentrations however confirms the selectivity of SB-269970 for the5-HT7 receptor.
SB-269970 is used to study the 5-HT7 receptors which are thought to be involved in the function of several areas of the brain such as thehippocampus andthalamus,[4] and regulation of dopamine release in theventral tegmental area.[5] Possible therapeutic uses for SB-269970 and other 5-HT7 antagonists include the treatment ofanxiety anddepression,[6][7] andnootropic effects have also been noted in animal studies.[8][9]
