General description

Methiothepin belongs to a new class of dibenzothiophenes. Methiothepin possesses neuroleptic activity.

Application

Methiothepin mesylate salt has been used to explore the relationship between circulating cells and the niche. It has also been used in serotonin (5-HT) and antagonists in vivo bioassays and in in vivo antagonist and lipopolysaccharide stimulations.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methiothepin mesylate salt is a 5-HT1, 5-HT6, 5-HT7 serotonin receptor antagonist, which blocks serotonin autoreceptors.
