OSU 6162
Chemical Name: (3S)-3-[3-(Methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1-propylpiperidine hydrochloride

Biological Activity:

Dopamine stabiliser that lacks high in vitro affinity for various neuroreceptors (Ki values are 447 and 1305 nM for D2 and D3 receptors respectively and > 1 μM for other targets). In vivo, shows high D2 receptor occupancy and is highly active on dopamine synthesis and turnover. Induces stabilising effects on psychomotor function in behavioural tests without inducing hypolocomotion or catalepsy.
