Biochem/physiol Actions

WAY-267464 is a non-peptide drug with a novel mechanism of action (MOA) to treat psychosis and schizophrenia.
WAY-267464 is a non-peptide oxytocin receptor (OTR) agonist (EC50 = 61-881 nM; Ki = 58-978 nM) that, unlike oxytocin (OT), displays antagonist instead of agonist activity toward vasopressin V1a receptor/V1aR (IC50 = 613 nM; Ki = 27-113 nM). WAY-267464 exhibits OT-like anxiolytic effects in assays measuring both behavioral (33% increase in punished crossing by 10 mg/mL ip or 10 μg/mouse icv in four-plate tests; 75% increased open quadrants stay by 3 μg/mouse icv in elevated zero maze) and autonomic (47% higher stress-induced hyperthermia by 10 μg/mouse icv) parameters of the anxiety response. Similar to the antipsychotic-like effects reported for OT, WAY-267464 also reverses disruption in prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex induced by either MK-801 or amphetamine. Unlike OT, WAY-267464 does not affect immobility in mouse tail suspension test.

Oxytocin (OT) was reported to affect cognitive and emotional behavior by action in ventral tegmental area (VTA) and other brain areas. However, it is still unclear how OT activates VTA and related midline nucleus. Here, using patch-clamp recording, we studied

The synchronization of circadian rhythms in sleep, endocrine and metabolic functions with the environmental light cycle is essential for health, and dysfunction of this synchrony is thought to play a part in the development of many neurological disorders. There is

A previously identified, non-peptidic oxytocin (OT) receptor agonist WAY-267,464 (1) and nine novel derivatives (3, 4a-7a, 4b-7b) were synthesised and evaluated in vitro with the aim of systematically exploring hydrogen bonding interactions and ligand flexibility. All analogues were subjected to competition

WAY-267,464 (1) and twelve conformationally rigid analogues (3a-f-4a-f) were synthesised, characterised and evaluated in cellular assays with the aim of systematically exploring interactions with the oxytocin receptor (OTR). Each analogue was evaluated in radioligand binding displacement assays at both human
