Summary of in vitro pharmacology results for (+)-6-OH-7-Cl-PAT, (−)-6-OH-7-Cl-PAT, (+)-6-OMe-7-Cl-PAT, and (−)-6-OMe-7-Cl-PAT

Ki and receptor-mediated PLC activity values (mean ± S.E.M.) obtained from at least three independent experiments. [3H]Ketanserin and [3H]mesulergine were used to label 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, respectively. Emax was defined as the percent of maximal response to 5-HT. Ki values and functional outcomes of each compound at h5-HT2B receptors were also obtained (see Results). Note the distinct difference in pharmacology between the (+)- and (−)-enantiomers of 6-OH-7-Cl-PAT at h5-HT2A compared with m5-HT2A receptors. (+)-6-OH-7-Cl-PAT showed partial agonist activity at h5-HT2A receptors but was inactive at all other WT 5-HT2 receptors tested.
