Potent and selective TRPV1 antagonist. Blocks Ca2+ uptake by CHO cells expressing TRPV1 receptors and acid-induced Ca2+ uptake, respectively). Exhibits >4000-fold selectivity for TRPV1 over other TRP channels. Blocks capsaicin-induced flinch response and causes hyperthermia in rats. Orally available and non-CNS penetrant.

Selective μ opioid receptor agonist (IC50 values are 5.5 and > 10000 nM for inhibition of 125I-FK 33,824 and 125I-DADLE binding to μ and δ sites respectively). Produces naloxone-reversible analgesia, catalepsy and hyperthermia following central administra
Fenobam hydrate is a noncompetitive antagonist and inverse agonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). It inhibits intracellular calcium mobilization induced by the glutamate analog quisqualate and inhibits basal activity of mGluR5. Fenobam reduces stress-induced hyperthermia, exhibits anxiolytic-like activity, and may induce analgesia.
CBiPES, a potent mGlu2 positive allosteric modulator with an EC50 value of 92.8 nM, attenuates stress-induced hyperthermia and Phencyclidine-induced hyperlocomotor activity, and can be used for research of neurological diseases [1] [2].
2-Aminotetralin acts as a neuromodulatory agent by inhibiting serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine reuptake in the rat brain at a dose of 39.4 mg kg. It triggers hypothermia in rats through intracisternal or intraperitoneal injection, while the implantation of crystals in the hypothalamus' medial preoptic area leads to hyperthermia. Additionally, it mimics (+)-amphetamine in a two-lever drug discrimination test among rats in a dose-dependent manner.
