Over the past decade, two independent technologies have emerged and been widely adopted by the neuroscience community for remotely controlling neuronal activity: optogenetics which utilize engineered channelrhodopsin and other opsins, and chemogenetics which utilize engineered G protein-coupled receptors (Designer Receptors Exclusively Activated by Designer Drugs (DREADDs)) and other orthologous ligand-receptor pairs. Using directed molecular evolution, two types of DREADDs derived from human muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been developed: hM3Dq which activates neuronal firing, and hM4Di which inhibits neuronal firing. Importantly, these DREADDs were not activated by the native ligand acetylcholine (ACh), but selectively activated by clozapine N-oxide (CNO), a pharmacologically inert ligand. CNO has been used extensively in rodent models to activate DREADDs, and although CNO is not subject to significant metabolic transformation in mice, a small fraction of CNO is apparently metabolized to clozapine in humans and guinea pigs, lessening the translational potential of DREADDs. To effectively translate the DREADD technology, the next generation of DREADD agonists are needed and a thorough understanding of structure-activity relationships (SARs) of DREADDs is required for developing such ligands. We therefore conducted the first SAR studies of hM3Dq. We explored multiple regions of the scaffold represented by CNO, identified interesting SAR trends, and discovered several compounds that are very potent hM3Dq agonists but do not activate the native human M3 receptor (hM3). We also discovered that the approved drug perlapine is a novel hM3Dq agonist with >10000-fold selectivity for hM3Dq over hM3.

USE OF N-DESMETHYLCLOZAPINE AND RELATED COMPOUNDS AS DOPAMINE STABILIZING AGENTS
-
Page/Page column 74, (2010/11/24)
Disclosed herein is the use of N-desmethylclozapine (NDMC) and related compounds to treat a variety of neuropsychiatric diseases including psychosis. It is shown that NDMC and related compounds are agonists or partial agonists at D2 and D3 dopamine receptors and thus may be effective as a dopamine stabilizing agent, allowing it to be used to treat or provide reduced incidence of Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and/or tardive dyskinesias (TD). Also disclosed is administering NDMC and related compounds in combination with other anti-psychotic agents.
