RU-24969 is a drug and research chemical widely used in scientific studies. It is a selective agonist at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors with preference for the latter. As with other 5-HT1B agonists such as CP-94253 RU-24969 has been found to increase the reinforcing properties of cocaine suggesting a role for 5-HT1B receptors in cocaine addiction.
