Agonist Comments
The partial agonists DIV880 and S70254 are the first reported selective ligands for the MT2 receptor subtype [39]. The partial antagonist GR 128107 has also been classed as an antagonist.
ICOA-13 is a full agonist for ERK1/2 activation at the MT2 receptor, but is a partial agonist for inhibition of cAMP production and β-arrestin2 recruitment [29].
