Clozapine N-oxide (CNO) is a synthetic drug used mainly in biomedical research as a ligand to activate DREADD receptors.[1] Although CNO was initially believed to be biologically inert. However, it has been shown not to enter the brain after administration[2] and to reverse metabolise in peripheral tissues to form clozapine. Clozapine can bind to a number of different serotonergic, dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors within the brain.[3] Therefore, behavioural data using the CNO-DREADD system in neuroscience experiments have to be interpreted with caution.[4]

Alternatives to CNO with more affinity, more inert character, and faster kinetics include Compound 21 (C21)[5] and deschloroclozapine (DCZ).[6]
