- Product Overview:
Flibanserin is a full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor and an antagonist of 5-HT2A (Kis = 1 and 49 nM, respectively).{31001} It also binds to dopamine D4 receptors with Ki values ranging from 4-24 nM, but demonstrates no affinity for the other 5-HT subtypes or other neurotransmitter receptors.{31001} In vitro, flibanserin has been shown to reduce forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in cells and rat tissues and to antagonize the accumulation of phosphatidyl inositol turnover induced by 5-HT in the mouse cortex.{31001} At 10 mg/kg, flibanserin can reduce serotonin in the prefrontal cortex and dorsal raphe of conscious rats while increasing extracellular noradrenaline and dopamine.{31001} Multifunctional serotonergic ligands like flibanserin that can enhance downstream release of dopamine and norepinephrine while concomitantly reducing serotonin release in the brain circuits that mediate symptoms of reduced sexual interest and desire are being studied clinically for therapeutic potential to improve sexual functioning.{31002}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
