Tandospirone(SM-3997) is a potent and selective 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist (Ki = 27 nM) that displays selectivity over SR-2, SR-1C, α1, α2, D1 and D2 receptors (Ki values ranging from 1300-41000 nM).
IC50 Value: 27±5 nM(Ki)
Target: 5-HT1A
in vitro: Tandospirone is most potent at the 5-HT1A receptor, displaying a Ki value of 27 +/- 5 nM. The agent is approximately two to three orders of magnitude less potent at 5-HT2, 5-HT1C, alpha 1-adrenergic, alpha 2-adrenergic, and dopamine D1 and D2 receptors (Ki values ranging from 1300 to 41000 nM). Tandospirone is essentially inactive at 5-HT1B receptors; 5-HT uptake sites; beta-adrenergic, muscarinic cholinergic, and benzodiazepine receptors.3H-SM-3997 bound rapidly, reversibly and in a saturable manner with high affinity to rat brain hippocampal membranes (Kd = 9.4 nM, Bmax = 213 fmol/mg protein).
in vivo: Chronic treatment with tandospirone, at 0.2 and 1.0mg/kg/day, but not 2.0mg/kg/day, attenuated footshock stress-induced eLAC elevation in the mPFC. Rats were acutely administered tandospirone (0, 0.1, and 1 mg/kg, i.p.). Tandospirone decreased the number of premature responses, an index of impulsive action, in a dose-dependent manner.
Toxicity: It is not believed to be addictive but it is known to produce mild withdrawal effects (e.g. anorexia) after abrupt discontinuation.
