Deschloroclozapine exhibits an exquisite agonistic effect at lower concentration compared to clozapine-N-oxide in hM3Dq expressing chemogenetically modified rats

IntroductionWithin the realm of chemogenetics, a particular form of agonists targeting designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) has emerged. Deschloroclozapine (DCZ), a recently introduced DREADDs agonist, demonstrates remarkable potency in activating targeted neurons at...
