Chemical Structure
Geissoschizine methyl ether
- CAS No.: 60314-89-8
- Formula:C22H26N2O3
- Molecular Weight:366.45
IUPAC Name: methyl (Z)-2-((2S,12bS,E)-3-ethylidene-1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12b-octahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizin-2-yl)-3-methoxyacrylate
InChIKey: VAMJZLUOKJRHOW-XEASWFAXSA-N
SMILES: COC(/C([C@H]1C[C@@]2([H])C3=C(CCN2C/C1=C/C)C4=CC=CC=C4N3)=C\OC)=O
Biological Activity: Geissoschizine methyl ether is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable alkaloid, and a partial agonist of the 5-HT1A receptor. It can be isolated from Uncaria hook. Geissoschizine methyl ether potently inhibits the binding of [3H]8-OH-DPAT to the 5-HT1A receptor in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 0.904 μM. It ameliorates isolation-induced increased aggression and reduced sociability in mice. Geissoschizine methyl ether promotes oligodendrocyte differentiation and remyelination in the medial prefrontal cortex of adult mice[1][2][3].
