WAY 163909 is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable 5-HT2C receptor-selective agonist. WAY 163909 exhibits an EC50 of 8 nM and a Ki of 10.5 nM for h5-HT2C. Instead of triggering apoptosis, WAY 163909 induces anorectic, antipsychotic-like, antidepressant-like, anti-aggressive and anti-compulsive effects. WAY 163909 alleviates ketamine-induced hypothermia, but impairs sexual function at high doses. With rapid antidepressant-like properties, WAY 163909 can be used in research related to obesity, schizophrenia, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anesthesia-induced hypothermia[1][2][3].
