SR-46349 hemifumarate salt may be used in cell signaling studies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
ASTAR (Antagonist of Serotonin 5HT2A Receptors).
SR-46349 is an antagonist of 5-HT (2A/2C) receptor and increases the release of dopamine by medial prefrontal cortex in rats.1 It increases the signal transduction induced by 5-HT2 receptor by binding with high affinity.2 SR-46349 inhibits the aggregation of rabbit and human platelets in response to serotonin.3

The aim of this study was to determine whether 5-HT2A receptors mediate cardiovascular and thermogenic responses to acute psychological stresses. For this purpose, adult male Wistar hooded rats instrumented for telemetric recordings of either electrocardiogram (ECG) (n=12) or arterial pressure
Atypical antipsychotic efficacy is often attributed to actions at serotonin-2 (5-HT(2)) and dopamine receptors, indicating a potential benefit of understanding the interplay between these systems. Currently, it is known that 5-HT(2) receptors modulate dopamine release, although the role of specific

Neurons in the rostral medullary raphe/parapyramidal region regulate cutaneous sympathetic nerve discharge. Using focal electrical stimulation at different dorsoventral raphe/parapyramidal sites in anesthetized rabbits, we have now demonstrated that increases in ear pinna cutaneous sympathetic nerve discharge can be elicited

The role of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) 5-HT2 receptor subtypes (5-HT2AR, 5-HT2BR, and 5-HT2CR) in acute cocaine-evoked hyperactivity was compared with their contribution to the development and expression of locomotor sensitization upon repeated, intermittent treatment with cocaine (10 mg/kg/day for 5
Like amphetamine, a locomotor-activating dose of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) predominantly excites striatal single-unit activity in freely moving rats. Although both D1- and D2-like dopamine (DA) receptors play important roles in this effect, MDMA, unlike amphetamine, strongly increases both DA and serotonin
