Chemistry:SB-228357

From HandWiki

SB-228357 is a drug which acts as a selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors.[1][2]

It has antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in animal models[1][2] and inhibits 5-HT2B mediated proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts.[3] It has also been found to reverse meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP)-induced hypolocomotion[2] and to attenuate haloperidol-induced catalepsy.[1]

The drug was under development by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders.[4] It reached the preclinical research phase of development.[4] However, development of the drug was discontinued.[4]
