BIMU 8
Chemical Name: 2,3-Dihydro-N-[(3-endo)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl]-3-(1-methylethyl)-2-oxo-1H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamide hydrochloride
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
BIMU 8 is a potent 5-HT4 receptor full agonist (KD = 77 nM and EC50 = 18 nM for wild type 5-HT4 receptors). Binds to receptors in a mechanism different to that of the endogenous ligand 5-HT.Technical Data
