Generic protein structure example

5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5-HT2B) also known as serotonin receptor 2B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR2B gene.[1][2] 5-HT2B is a member of the 5-HT2 receptor family that binds the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). Like all 5-HT2 receptors, the 5-HT2B receptor is Gq/G11-protein coupled, leading to downstream activation of phospholipase C.

Tissue distribution and function

First discovered in the stomach of rats, 5-HT2B was challenging to characterize initially because of its structural similarity to the other 5-HT2 receptors, particularly 5-HT2C.[3] The 5-HT2 receptors (of which the 5-HT2B receptor is a subtype) mediate many of the central and peripheral physiologic functions of serotonin. Cardiovascular effects include contraction of blood vessels and shape changes in platelets; central nervous system (CNS) effects include neuronal sensitization to tactile stimuli and mediation of some of the effects of hallucinogenic substituted amphetamines. The 5-HT2B receptor is expressed in several areas of the CNS, including the dorsal hypothalamus, frontal cortex, medial amygdala, and meninges.[4] However, its most important role is in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) where it maintains the viability and efficiency of the cardiac valve leaflets.[5]

The 5-HT2B receptor subtype is involved in:

  • CNS: inhibition of serotonin and dopamine uptake, behavioral effects[6]
  • Vascular: pulmonary vasoconstriction[7]
  • Cardiac: The 5-HT2B receptor regulates cardiac structure and functions, as demonstrated by the abnormal cardiac development observed in 5-HT2B receptor null mice.[8] Excessive stimulation of this receptor causes pathological proliferation of cardiac valve fibroblasts,[9] with chronic overstimulation leading to valvulopathy.[10][11] These receptors are also overexpressed in human failing heart and antagonists of 5-HT2B receptors were discovered to prevent both angiotensin II or beta-adrenergic agonist-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy in mouse.[12][13][14]
  • Serotonin transporter: 5-HT2B receptors regulate serotonin release via the serotonin transporter, and are important both to normal physiological regulation of serotonin levels in blood plasma,[15] and with the abnormal acute serotonin release produced by drugs such as MDMA.[6] Surprisingly, however, 5-HT2B receptor activation appears to be protective against the development of serotonin syndrome following elevated extracellular serotonin levels,[16] despite its role in modulating serotonin release.

Clinical significance

Valvular heart disease

5-HT2B receptors have been strongly implicated in causing drug-induced valvular heart disease.[17][18][19] The Fen-Phen scandal in the 80s and 90s revealed the cardiotoxic effects of 5-HT2B stimulation.[20] Today, 5-HT2B agonism is considered a toxicity signal precluding further clinical development of a compound.[21]

Migraines

The non-selective serotonin receptor agonist meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) induces migraines and this may be due to serotonin 5-HT2B receptor agonism.[22] Serotonin 5-HT2 receptor antagonists used as antimigraine agents, such as methysergide, cyproheptadine, and pizotifen, may be producing their antimigraine effects specifically via serotonin 5-HT2B receptor antagonism.[22]

Ligands

The structure of the 5-HT2B receptor was resolved in a complex with the valvulopathogenic drug ergotamine.[23] As of 2009, few highly selective 5-HT2B receptor ligands have been discovered, although numerous potent non-selective compounds are known, particularly agents with concomitant 5-HT2C binding. Research in this area has been limited due to the cardiotoxicity of 5-HT2B agonists, and the lack of clear therapeutic application for 5-HT2B antagonists, but there is still a need for selective ligands for scientific research.[24]

Agonists

Endogenous

Selective

  • 6-APB – ~100-fold selectivity over the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, ≥32-fold selectivity over monoamine release, ~12-fold selectivity over α2C-adrenergic receptor[27][34]
  • α-Methylserotonin – ~10-fold selectivity over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C[31][35][33]
  • BW-723C86 – 100-fold selectivity over 5-HT2A but only 3- to 10-fold selectivity over 5-HT2C,[31][36] fair functional subtype selectivity, almost full agonist, anxiolytic in vivo[37]
  • LY-266,097 – biased partial agonist in favor of Gq protein, no β-arrestin2 recruitment[38]
  • VU6067416 – modest selectivity over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C[39]

Non-selective

Peripherally selective

Inactive

A number of notable drugs appear to be inactive or very weak as serotonin 5-HT2B receptor agonists, at least in vitro.[27] These include the stimulants and/or entactogens dextroamphetamine, dextromethamphetamine, 4-fluoroamphetamine, 4-fluoromethamphetamine, phentermine, methylone, mephedrone, MDAI, and MMAI, among others.[27][44][34][68][69][70] Findings are somewhat conflicting for certain psychedelics, such as psilocin and LSD, but most studies find that these drugs are indeed potent serotonin 5-HT2B receptor agonists.[60][27][29]

Antagonists

Selective

  • 5-HCPC[71][72]
  • 5-HPEC (weak)[71]

  • PRX-08066 – Ki ≈ 1.7 nM, >100-fold selectivity[71][73][31]
  • RQ-00310941 (RQ-941) – Ki = 2.0 nM, IC50 = 17 nM, >2,000-fold selectivity against >60 targets, under development for medical use[71][84][85]
  • RS-127,445 (MT-500) – Ki = 0.3 nM, >1,000-fold selectivity over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C and numerous other targets, selective over at least eight other serotonin receptors, developed for clinical use but discontinued[71][31][73][86][64]
  • SB-204,741 – >135-fold selectivity over 5-HT2C and 5-HT2A[87]
  • SB-215,505 – mixed 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C antagonist[31][73][88]
  • VU6047534 – weak partial agonist or antagonist, peripherally selective in mice but not humans[89][90]

Non-selective

Unknown or unsorted selectivity

Peripherally selective

BW-501C67 and xylamidine are known peripherally selective antagonists of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, including of the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors, but their serotonin 5-HT2B receptor interactions do not appear to have been described.[127][128][129]

Possible applications

5-HT2B antagonists have previously been proposed as treatment for migraine headaches, and RS-127,445 was trialled in humans up to Phase I for this indication, but development was not continued.[130] More recent research has focused on possible application of 5-HT2B antagonists as treatments for chronic heart disease.[131][132] Research claims serotonin 5-HT2B receptors have effect on liver regeneration.[133] Antagonism of 5-HT2B may attenuate fibrogenesis and improve liver function in disease models in which fibrosis is pre-established and progressive.

PMID 24969114. "Bromocriptine was first described as a 5HT-2BR antagonist (22) but was subsequently found to have partial agonist properties (23,24). [...] Regarding bromocriptine, there was no increased incidence of valve regurgitation in PD patients on bromocriptine in the population-based study of Schade et al (33), despite the significant findings for cabergoline and pergolide. However, there is a case report implicating high doses of bromocriptine as the cause of triple valve disease in a PD patient (37), and 1 study reported a significant correlation between cumulative dose of bromocriptine and the risk of valve regurgitation in a PD cohort (38). Other publications have reported fibrotic events, including retroperitoneal, pericardial and pleural fibrosis, in PD patients on high-dose bromocriptine (39-43). [...] Although there seems to be a lower risk of valvulopathy with bromocriptine, as a partial 5HT-2BR agonist, there still appears to be some risk with high-dose bromocriptine in PD patients.".

"Various polycyclic agents such as butaclamol, mianserin, cyproheptadine, pizotyline bind at 5-HT2 receptors with high affinity. These agents are not selective and bind with comparable affinty either at other populations of 5-HT receptors or at other neurotransmitter receptors. Other, structurally unique agents have also been investigated including cinanserin and xylamidine. The latter compound has seen application as a peripheral 5-HT2 antagonist in that it does not readily penetrate the blood-brain barrier; however, xylamidine binds equally well at 5-HTIC and 5-HT2 receptors. See references 3 and 5 for additional information on these types of agents."
