Carvotroline [WY 47791] is a novel γ-carboline derivative with a preclinical profile suggestive of antipsychotic activity. Carvotroline has an affinity for the dopamine D2 receptor and cortical 5-HT2 receptor that is ten times greater than serotonin. Carvotroline administration to rats leads to a decrease of plasma corticosterone levels and demonstrated a moderating effect on the rotational-stress induced rise in plasma corticosterone levels.
