CGP-49823

CGP-49823 is an orally active and highly selective antagonist of the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1 receptor) . CGP-49823‘s potency is significantly higher in isolated spinal cords of hamsters than in those of rats. CGP 49823 exhibits a significant anti-anxiety effect in social interaction experiments of rats, and its tolerance develops slowly, without causing anxiety-like withdrawal reactions after discontinuation. CGP-49823 can be used in anxiety and depression research[1][2].
