Radioligand binding studies were performed as described inExperimental Procedures, and pIC50 (−logM) values were derived from individual curves. Results are mean pIC50 ± S.D. values from n independent experiments.

  • 2-a Data for h5-ht5A-HEK 293 were taken fromFrancken et al., 1998.

  • 2-bi/o represents the combination of Gαi1, Gαi2, Gαi3, and Gαosubunits.

  • 2-c pIC50 value that is significantly (Student'st test, P < .05) different from the corresponding pIC50 value for h5-ht5A-HEK 293.
