Chemistry:Pirenperone

From HandWiki

Pirenperone (INN, USAN, BAN; developmental code names R-47456, R-50656) is a serotonin receptor antagonist closely related to ketanserin and risperidone which is described as an antipsychotic and tranquilizer and was never marketed.[1][2]

It is a relatively selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and has been used in scientific research to study the serotonin system.[3][2][4][5] Its affinities (Ki) for serotonin and other receptors have been reported to be 0.3 to 1.1 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, 6.5 nM for the serotonin 5-HT7 receptor, 20 nM for the α1B-adrenergic receptor, 20 nM for the α2B-adrenergic receptor, 61 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, 60 to 77 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, 485 to 1,700 nM for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, and >1,000 or 6,600 nM for the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor, whereas other receptors were not reported.[3][5]

In the 1980s, the drug was found to block the effects of the lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in animals, and, along with ketanserin, led to the elucidation of the 5-HT2A receptor as the biological mediator of the effects of serotonergic psychedelics.[6]
