5-ht-2 antagonist 1

5-HT2 antagonist 1 is a potent 5-HT2 receptor antagonist with weak α1 adrenoceptor blocking activity.

Viloxazine (Viloxazin) (Viloxazin) is a dual-action compound that functions as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and exhibits potent agonistic activity towards 5-HT 2C receptors while acting as an antagonist for 5-HT 2B receptors, with respective potency values of EC 50 = 32 μM and IC 50 = 27 μM. Its primary mechanism of action involves the modulation of serotonergic and noradrenergic pathways. Viloxazine is commonly employed in depression research [1] [2].

Unifiram is a nootropic agent.1It increases acetylcholine (ACh) release in the rat cerebral cortexin vivoand induces a long-lasting increase in the amplitude of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) in the rat hippocampal CA1 region (EC50= 27 nM). It does not bind to serotonin (5-HT), dopamine, muscarinic, nicotinic, adrenergic, glutamate, histamine, opioid, or GABA receptors at 1 μM. Unifiram (0.1 mg/kg) improves memory in non-memory-impaired rats in a social learning test.2It also prevents memory deficits induced by the anticholinergic agent scopolamine, nicotinic receptor antagonist mecamylamine, GABABreceptor agonist baclofen, or α2-adrenergic receptor agonist clonidine in the passive avoidance test in mice when administered at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg and prevents memory deficits induced by the AMPA/kainate glutamate receptor antagonist NBQX at 0.1 mg/kg.1 1.Romanelli, M.N., Galeotti, N., Ghelardini, C., et al.Pharmacological characterization of DM232 (unifiram) and DM235 (sunifiram), new potent cognition enhancersCNS Drug Rev.12(1)39-52(2006) 2.Ghelardini, C., Galeotti, N., Gualtieri, F., et al.The novel nootropic compound DM232 (unifiram) ameliorates memory impairment in mice and ratsDrug Develop.

5-HT3 antagonist 5 is a quinoxalin-2-carboxamide compound that acts as a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, counteracting 5-HT3 agonist and 2-methyl-5-HT, and demonstrating an anti-depressant effect in mice [1].

R 59-022 (DKGI-I) is a diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) inhibitor and a 5-HT Receptor antagonist that blocks filovirus internalization in host cells. R 59-022 activates protein kinase C (PKC), inhibits intestinal smooth muscle contractility, and enhances O2- production induced by 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol.

Ensaculin is a NMDA antagonist and a 5HT1A agonist potentially for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ensaculin showed memory-enhancing effects in paradigms of passive and conditioned avoidance in both normal and artificially amnesic rodents. It e

Palonosetron N-oxide is a metabolite of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT3antagonist palonosetron .1It is also a potential impurity in palonosetron preparations.2Palonosetron N-oxide is a degradation product formed by exposure to oxidative stress. 1.Stoltz, R.A., Cyong, J.-C., Shah, A., et al.Pharmacokinetic and safety evaluation of palonosetron, a 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptor antagonist, in U.S. and Japanese healthy subjectsJ.

Eltoprazine(DU28853) is a serenic or antiaggressive agent which as an agonist at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors and as an antagonist at the 5-HT2C receptor.IC50 value:Target: 5-HT1A/1B agonist; 5-HT2C antagonistin vitro: The binding of [3H]eltoprazine to whole tissue sections was saturable and revealed an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 11 nM. Specific [3H]eltoprazine binding was completely displaced by 5-HT; conversely, unlabelled eltoprazine reduced [3H]5-HT binding to the levels of non-specific binding [1]. Eltoprazine evoked membrane changes that were similar to but much weaker than those induced by 5HT. Both the 5HT- and eltoprazine-evoked membrane hyperpolarizations were largely suppressed in the presence of spiperone [2].in vivo: eltoprazine is extremely effective in suppressing dyskinesia in experimental models, although this effect was accompanied by a partial worsening of the therapeutic effect of l-dopa. Interestingly, eltoprazine was found to (synergistically) potentiate the antidyskinetic effect of amantadine. The current data indicated that eltoprazine is highly effective in counteracting dyskinesia in preclinical models [3]. Rats were chronically treated with mianserin (10 mg/kg i.p.) or eltoprazine (1 mg/kg i.p.) and were tested in the elevated plus-maze test for anxiety. Mianserin and eltoprazine displayed opposite effects in the elevated plus-maze: mianserin induced anxiolytic-like effects, while eltoprazine showed anxiogenic-like ones [4]. [1]. Sijbesma H, et al.

Scopolamine is a high-affinity (nanomolar level) muscarinic receptor antagonist that can reversibly inhibit 5-HT₃ receptor responses (IC₅₀ = 2.09 μM). It is commonly used to induce animal models of Alzheimer's disease or memory impairment.

Cyproheptadine is an orally active serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist with multiple pharmacological properties including antidepressant, anti-serotonin, antiplatelet, and antithrombotic effects. Cyproheptadine is used as a research compound for investigating thromboembolic diseases, serotonergic signaling, and potential links between serotonin modulation and metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
