Chemistry:SB-616234

From HandWiki

SB-616234 is a selective serotonin 5-HT1B receptor antagonist.[1][2][3][4] In terms of affinity, it shows 50-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor over the serotonin 5-HT1D receptor and greater than 100-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor over other serotonin receptors.[3] The drug is a silent antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor.[3] It dose-dependently increases serotonin levels in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in rodents via blockade of serotonin 5-HT1B autoreceptors.[2] In addition, it augments the increased serotonin levels induced by the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) paroxetine in this brain area in rodents.[2] The drug produces antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects in rodents and anxiolytic-like effects in monkeys.[2] It is orally active.[2][3] SB-616234 was first described in the scientific literature by 2003.[5][6][7]
