Serotonin -5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that activates specific receptors located primarily in the gut and central nervous system. SB 242084 is an antagonist of the 5-HT2C receptor -pKi = 9.0), with at least 100-fold more selectivity over other 5-HT, dopamine, or adrenergic receptors. In vivo, it is brain penetrant and has significant anxiolytic activity, without sedative, proconvulsant, or hyperphagic properties. SB 242084 has been used extensively in animal research to evaluate, for example, 5-HT2C receptor agonists and neurotransmitter receptor interactions in mice.
