NAS-181, also known as MCOMM, is a selective rodent serotonin 5-HT_1B receptor antagonist which is used in scientific research.^[1]^[2]

In animals, NAS-181 has been found to strongly increase acetylcholine levels in the frontal cortex and hippocampus.^[3]^[4] It has been found to block memory impairment induced by the antimuscarinic agent scopolamine and by the NMDA receptor antagonist dizocilpine (MK-801).^[5]^[6] Injection of NAS-181 directly into the nucleus accumbens has also been found to reverse the prosocial behavior induced by the serotonin releasing agent MDMA in animals.^[7]

NAS-181 was first described in the scientific literature by 1998.^[8] The drug was discovered by researchers at Astra Arcus.^[2]
