L 741742 is a highly selective and brain-penetrant D4 dopamine receptor antagonist, with Ki values of 3.5 nM, 770 nM and >1700 nM for human D4, D3 and D2 receptors, respectively. L 741742 suppresses PDGFRbeta, ERK1/2, and mTOR signaling pathways, and impairs autophagic flux while disrupting lysosomal function.L 741742 induces G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis, promotes neuronal differentiation of normal human neural stem cells, selectively inhibits growth and clonogenic potential of glioblastoma neural stem cells and primary glioblastoma tumor cells, exerts synergistic effects with Temozolomide (TMZ) (HY-17364) against glioblastoma neural stem cells in vitro, and inhibits glioblastoma neural stem cell xenograft growth in immunocompromised mice. L 741742 can be used for the research of schizophrenia and glioblastoma[1][2].
