BD1063 or 1-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-4-methylpiperazine is a selective sigma receptor antagonist, with a reported binding affinity of Ki = 9 ± 1 nM for the sigma-1 receptor and more than 49 times selectivity over the sigma-2 receptor.[1]

Consistent with other reported sigma receptor antagonists, pretreating Swiss Webster mice with BD1063 significantly decreases the convulsivity and lethality of cocaine.[1]

In other animal studies, BD1063 blocks the effects of MDMA,[2] and reduces alcohol intake in rodent models of alcoholism.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
