  • 2-a ND, not detectable (<20% increase of PI hydrolysis over basal). For a typical experiment with stably transfected cells expressing the 5-HT2A receptor, the basal activity was 2,000 dpm, with the maximum stimulation with saturating concentrations of (−)-DOB being 46,180 dpm (23-fold stimulation). For the M1C15 cell line, the basal level was 600 dpm, with the maximum stimulation with saturating concentrations of (±)-DOI being 27,250 dpm (45-fold stimulation). V max is expressed as the percentage of maximum stimulation of 5-HT.
