Application

SB 204741 has been used as a 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (Htr2B) antagonist:
  • to inhibit Htr2b signaling to test its effect on hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation in three-month-old adult zebrafish
  • to test its effect on the inhibition of fluoxetine effects in depressive-like behavioral studies in mice
  • to test its effect in reducing scratching behavior evoked by sertraline in mice

Biochem/physiol Actions

SB 204741 reduces the synaptic facilitation induced by the low dose of buprenorphine in spinal C-fiber synapses.
5-HT2B serotonin receptor antagonist.
