RU-24,969 is a serotonergic drug used in scientific research.[1][2] It is a selective agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors, with 5-fold preference for the latter receptor over the former.[1][2] It also has affinity for the serotonin 5-HT5A, 5-HT5B, and 5-HT7 receptors.[3]

The drug produces MDMA-like locomotor hyperactivity in animals and this is thought to be mediated by activation of both serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors.[4][1][5][6][7] As with other serotonin 5-HT1B receptor agonists such as CP-94,253, RU-24,969 has also been found to increase the reinforcing properties of cocaine in animals, suggesting a role for serotonin 5-HT1B receptors in cocaine addiction as well.[8]

RU-24,969 was first described in the scientific literature by 1980.[9]
