WAY-100635 maleate salt (CAS 634908-75-1)

WAY-100635 maleate salt is a highly selective antagonist of the 5-HT1A receptor, a subtype of the serotonin receptor found widely in the brain and central nervous system. This compound binds with high affinity to the 5-HT1A receptor, effectively blocking the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating various physiological processes such as mood, appetite, and sleep. In research applications, WAY-100635 maleate salt is extensively used to dissect the role of 5-HT1A receptors in serotonin signaling pathways. Its ability to selectively inhibit 5-HT1A receptor activity makes it useful for studying the complex interactions between serotonin receptors and various neurotransmitter systems. By blocking this specific receptor, researchers can elucidate the mechanisms by which serotonin influences neurophysiological processes, aiding in the understanding of how this neurotransmitter contributes to the functioning of the brain and central nervous system. This compound′s specificity and efficacy in modulating serotonin-mediated responses make it indispensable in neuropharmacological research, particularly in experiments designed to explore the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders.
