E-6801 is a partial agonist of the 5-HT6 receptor.[1] It enhanced recognition memory and reversed the memory deficits of scopolamine in an object recognition task in a rat model.[2] The mechanism of memory enhancement is due to a combined modulation of cholinergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission.
