Biological Activity for Olanzapine

Olanzapine is an antagonist of 5-HT_2A and dopamine D₂ receptors (K_i values are 4 and 11 nM respectively). Also displays affinity for a range of other receptors including D₁ and D₄, 5-HT_2C, α₁, H₁ and M_1-4 receptors (K_i values range between 1.9 and 31 nM). Atypical antipsychotic. Displays anticholinergic properties. Also a highly potent activator of hM₄D_i DREADDs (EC₅₀ values are 5 nM in vitro and 7 nM in vivo).
