SB 242084 monohydrochloride
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
SB 242084 monohydrochloride is a selective, competitive and high-affinity (pKi=9.0) 5-HT2C receptor antagonist (crosses the blood-brain barrier). SB 242084 monohydrochloride increases basal activity of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the midbrain and dopamine release in the vomeronasal nucleus. SB 242084 also increases mitochondrial gene expression and oxidative metabolism via 5-HT2A receptor. SB 242084 monohydrochloride has good research potential in the negative symptoms of anxiety, depression and schizophrenia, as well as in acute organ damage.

SB 242084 monohydrochloride (100 nM; 45 min) exhibits antagonism of the 5-HT stimulated increase in phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis at the human 5-HT2C receptor in SH-SY5Y cells[1].
SB 242084 monohydrochloride (1-100 Nm; 24 h) increases RPTC respiration and PGC-1α mRNA expression in RPTC[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
SB 242084 monohydrochloride (5 mg/kg; i.p.; single; 20 min pre-test) improves mCPP-induced hypophagia in rats[1].
SB 242084 monohydrochloride (5, 10 mg/kg; i.p.; single) increases the levels of basal dialysate dopamine (DA) and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) in the nucleus accumbens of rats[3].
SB 242084 monohydrochloride (160-640 μg/kg; i.v.; single) dose-dependently and significantly increases the basal firing rate of VTA (ventral tegmental area) dopaminergic neurons, and the bursting activity is also enhanced in the same area, in vivo[3].
