serotonin receptor

5-HT4 antagonist 1 is an antagonist of 5-HT4 (pKi = 9.6).

BIMU 8 is a selective agonist of 5-HT4 with EC50s of 18 nM, 77 nM, and 540 nM for wild-type 5HT4 receptor, T3.36A, and W6.48A mutant 5-HT4.

Iprindole, a tricyclic indole antidepressant, is a dual weak inhibitor of noradrenaline and 5-HT uptake [1].

SB-269970 hydrochloride (SB-269970A) , a hydrochloride salt form of SB-269970, is a 5-HT7 receptor antagonist (pKi of 8.3) and exhibits >50-fold selectivity against other receptors.

Paliperidone (9-hydroxyrisperidone)(Invega) is used as an atypical antipsychotic. It applies to the acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia. Chemically, paliperidone is the primary active metabolite of the older atypical antipsychotic risperidone.

Urapidil hydrochloride (Urapidil HCl) is 5-HT1A receptor agonist and an α1-adrenoceptor antagonist.

Mirtazapine (6-Azamianserin) is a tetracyclic antidepressant with a somewhat unique mechanism of action. Mirtazapine therapy can be associated with transient asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Sumatriptan succinate (GR 43175), a serotonin1 (5-HT1) receptor agonist, is used in the acute treatment of a migraine headache.

Risperidone (R 64 766) is a selective blocker of dopamine D2 receptors and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors that act as an atypical antipsychotic agent.

Clozapine (HF 1854) is a tricylic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. It binds several types of central nervous system receptors, and displays a unique pharmacological profile. Clozapine is a serotonin antagonist, with strong binding to 5-HT 2A/2C receptor subtype. It also displays strong affinity to several dopaminergic receptors, but shows only weak antagonism at the dopamine D2 receptor, a receptor commonly thought to modulate neuroleptic activity.

Flopropione (Phloropropiophenone), a spasmolytic or antispasmodic agent, is used as a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist.

Amitriptyline hydrochloride (Annoyltin) is the hydrochloride salt of the tricyclic dibenzocycloheptadiene amitriptyline with antidepressant and antinociceptive activities.

Granisetron hydrochloride (Granisetron HCl) is a serotonin receptor (5HT-3 selective) antagonist that has been used as an antiemetic for cancer chemotherapy patients.

Trimipramine maleate (Surmontil maleate) appears to inhibit serotonin transport and norepinephrine uptake by nerve terminals. This increases available norepinephrine or serotonin and prolongs its action. Trimipramine Maleate is the maleate salt form of trimipramine, a tricyclic secondary amine of the dibenzazepine class, with an antidepressant property.

Zolmitriptan (311C90) selectively binds to and activates serotonin (5-HT) 1B receptors expressed in intracranial arteries and 5-HT 1D receptors located on peripheral trigeminal sensory nerve terminals in the meninges and central terminals in brainstem sensory nuclei. Zolmitriptan is a member of the triptan class of agents with anti-migraine properties. Receptor binding results in constriction of cranial vessels, reduction of vessel pulsation and inhibition of nociceptive transmission, thereby providing relief of migraine headaches. Zolmitriptan may also relieve migraine headaches by inhibition of pro-inflammatory neuropeptide release.

Vilazodone (SB659746A) is a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a 5-HT-1A receptor partial agonist, with antidepressant and anti-anxiety activities. Vilazodone inhibits the reuptake of serotonin from the synaptic cleft while stimulating the release of 5-HT into the synaptic cleft. This increases the concentration of 5-HT in the synaptic cleft and potentiates serotonergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system.

Pizotifen (Pizotyline) is a strong serotonin and tryptamine antagonist, with weak anticholinergic, anti-histaminic and anti-kinin effects. It also possesses sedative and appetite-stimulating properties. Pizotifen hydrochloride is an active ingredient in Sandomigran, which is used for the prophylactic management of migraine. Sandomigran is available in number of countries excluding the United States.

Agomelatine (Valdoxan) is structurally closely related to melatonin. Agomelatine is a potent agonist at melatonin receptors and an antagonist at serotonin-2C (5-HT2C) receptors, tested in an animal model of depression.

Rizatriptan benzoate (MK-462 Benzoate) selectively binds to and activates serotonin (5-HT) 1B receptors and 5-HT 1D receptors providing relief of migraine headaches.

Iloperidone (HP 873) is an atypical antipsychotic agent that is used for treatment of schizophrenia.

Aripiprazole (OPC-14597) is an antipsychotic agent that is structurally related to piperazines and quinolones. It is a partial agonist of SEROTONIN RECEPTOR, 5-HT1A and DOPAMINE D2 RECEPTORS, where it also functions as a post-synaptic antagonist, and an antagonist of SEROTONIN RECEPTOR, 5-HT2A.

Olanzapine (LY170053) is an atypical antipsychotic that is used currently in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar illness.

Harmine (Telepathine) is an alkaloid isolated from seeds of Peganum harmala.

Asenapine Maleate (Org 5222 maleate) is a second generation (atypical) antipsychotic agent that is taken sublingually and used in the treatment of schizophrenia and manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar 1 disorder. Asenapine is associated with a low rate of transient and mild serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy but has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.
