GSK256471 is a non-peptide tachykinin NK3 receptor antagonist with a pKi of 8.9 for the human recombinant NK3 receptor and 8.4 for the guinea pig native receptor. GSK256471 exhibits >100-fold selectivity for NK1 (pKi = 5.2) and NK2 (pKi = 7.3) receptors. GSK256471 noncompetitively inhibits neurokinin B (NKB)-induced inositol phosphate accumulation, and this inhibition is irreversible. GSK256471 inhibits wet dog shaking behavior and suppresses dopamine release. GSK256471 could be used to study schizophrenia.
