Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Olanzapine is an antagonist of 5-HT2A and dopamine D2 receptors with Ki values of 4 and 11 nM, respectively.[1] In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing 5-HT2 receptors, olanzapine is devoid of agonism but is an antagonist at all three subtypes 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C with IC50 value of 2.5, 47 and 69 nM, respectively. In human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells transiently expressing 5-HT2C receptor isoforms, while lacking agonist activity at the VNI isoform and VSV isoform, olanzapine shows inverse agonism at the INI isoform with an IC50 value of 594 nM, reaching a maximal attenuation of 20%. In addition, olanzapine is a full antagonist at all three isoforms, with a rank order of potency of VNI (IC50, 79 nM)>VSV (IC50, 101 nM)>INI (IC50, 3856 nM).[2] In vivo, olanzapine (1.25-10 mg/kg, p.o.) antagonizes apomorphine-induced climbing behavior in mice. Olanzapine (2.5-10 mg/kg, p.o.) also antagonizes oxotremorine-induced tremor in mice. In a conditioned avoidance paradigm in rats, olanzapine inhibits the avoidance response with an ED50 of 4.7 mg/kg p.o. In another series of experiments, olanzapine (1.25 mg/kg, i.p.) produces clozapine-appropriate responding in a drug discrimination model in which animals have been trained to discriminate clozapine (5 mg/kg, i.p.) from vehicle.[3]
