Serotonin receptor agonist

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Not to be confused with Serotonin receptor antagonist.
The neurotransmitter serotonin (illustration) has various receptors.

A serotonin receptor agonist is an

endogenous ligand
of the serotonin receptors.

Non-selective agonists

DOMTooltip 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine) are non-selective agonists of serotonin receptors. Their hallucinogenic effects are specifically mediated by activation of the 5-HT2A receptor

5-HT1 receptor agonists

5-HT1A receptor agonists

female sexual dysfunction, is a 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist. Many atypical antipsychotics, such as aripiprazole, asenapine, clozapine, lurasidone, quetiapine, and ziprasidone
, are 5-HT1A receptor partial agonists, and this action is thought to contribute to their beneficial effects on negative symptoms in schizophrenia.

5-HT1B receptor agonists

See also: 5-HT1B receptor § Agonists, and Triptan

Triptans such as sumatriptan, rizatriptan, and naratriptan are 5-HT1B receptor agonists that are used to abort migraine and cluster headache attacks. The ergoline antimigraine agent ergotamine also acts on this receptor.

Serenics such as batoprazine, eltoprazine, and fluprazine are agonists of the 5-HT1B receptor and other serotonin receptors, and have been found to produce antiaggressive effects in animals, but have not been marketed. Eltoprazine is under development for the treatment of aggression and for other indications.[1]

5-HT1D receptor agonists

In addition to being 5-HT1B agonists, triptans (i.e. sumatriptan, almotriptan, zolmitriptan, naratriptan, eletriptan, frovatriptan and rizatriptan) are also agonists at the 5-HT1D receptor, which contributes to their antimigraine effect caused by vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the brain. The same is true for ergotamine.

5-HT1F receptor agonists

Triptans such as eletriptan, naratriptan, and sumatriptan are agonists of the 5-HT1F receptor. Lasmiditan is a selective 5-HT1F agonist that is under development by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of migraine.[2][3]

5-HT2 receptor agonists

5-HT2A receptor agonists

Serotonergic psychedelic

Serotonergic psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD, and mescaline act as 5-HT2A receptor agonists. Their actions at this receptor are thought to be responsible for their hallucinogenic effects. Most of these drugs also act as agonists of other serotonin receptors. Not all 5-HT2A receptor agonists are psychoactive.[4]

The 25-NB (NBOMe) series is a family of phenethylamine serotonergic psychedelics that, unlike other classes of serotonergic psychedelics, act as highly selective 5-HT2A receptor agonists.[5] The most well-known member of the 25-NB series is 25I-NBOMe.[6][7] (2S,6S)-DMBMPP is an analogue of the 25-NB compounds and is the most highly selective agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor that has been identified to date.[8] O-4310 (1-isopropyl-6-fluoropsilocin) is a tryptamine derivative that is a highly selective agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor.[9]

Selective 5-HT2A receptor agonists like the 25-NB compounds, specifically those which can behave as full agonists at this receptor, can cause

overdose.[7][10] In contrast to the aforementioned drugs's potent, selective, and most importantly, full agonism (meaning the drug can fully activate the receptor to 100% of its activation potential, and does so even with minuscule amounts due to high potency, LSD, like the other "safe" psychedelics which are almost impossible to overdose fatally on, is a partial agonist, and this means it has a limit of how much it can activate the receptor, a limit which is basically impossible to exceed even with exponentially larger amounts of the drug. These partial agonists have proven relatively safe after having seen widespread abuse by drug users for many decades.[10] Activation of the 5-HT2A receptor is also implicated in serotonin syndrome caused by indirect serotonin receptor agonists like serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin releasing agents, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors.[10][11] Antagonists of the 5-HT2A receptor like cyproheptadine and chlorpromazine are able to reverse and mediate recovery from serotonin syndrome.[12]

5-HT2B receptor agonists

See also: 5-HT2B receptor § Agonists

Agonists of the 5-HT2B receptor are implicated in the development of cardiac fibrosis.[13] Fenfluramine, pergolide, and cabergoline have been withdrawn from some markets for this reason.[14] Many serotonergic psychedelics, such as LSD and psilocin, have been shown to activate this receptor directly.[15] MDMA has been reported to be both a potent direct agonist[13] and have an indirect effect by increasing plasma serotonin levels.[16]

5-HT2C receptor agonists

Main article: 5-HT2C receptor agonist
See also: 5-HT2C receptor § Agonists

anti-obesity drug which acts as a selective 5-HT2C receptor agonist. meta-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) is a 5-HT2C-preferring serotonin receptor agonist that induces anxiety and depression and can cause panic attacks
in susceptible individuals.

5-HT3 receptor agonists

See also: 5-HT3 receptor § Agonists

2-Methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (2-methylserotonin) and quipazine are moderately selective agonists of the 5-HT3 receptor that are used in scientific research. Agonists of this receptor are known to induce nausea and vomiting, and are not used medically.

5-HT4 receptor agonists

See also: 5-HT4 receptor § Agonists

Cisapride and tegaserod are 5-HT4 receptor partial agonists that were used to treat disorders of gastrointestinal motility. Prucalopride is a highly selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist that can be used to treat certain disorders of gastrointestinal motility. Other 5-HT4 receptor agonists have shown potential to be nootropic and antidepressant drugs, but have not been marketed for such indications.

5-HT5A receptor agonists

valerian root, has been found to act as a 5-HT5A receptor
agonist, and this action could be involved in the sleep-promoting effects of valerian.

5-HT6 receptor agonists

No selective agonists of the

appetite suppressant effects in animals, but also impair cognition and memory.[17]

5-HT7 receptor agonists

AS-19 is a 5-HT7 receptor agonist that has been used in scientific research.
