Flibanserin is a 5-HT1A receptor agonist and 5-HT2A receptor antagonist.
Flibanserin is a 5-HT1A receptor agonist and 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. Flibanserin has high affinity for human 5-HT1A receptors (Ki = 1 nm) and lower affinity for 5-HT2A (Ki = 49 nm) and D4 (Ki = 4–24 nm) receptors, and negligible affinity for a variety of other neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels. Flibanserin was investigated as a novel, non-hormonal treatment for pre-menopausal women with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). Flibanserin. Recently, Flibanserin was found to reduce L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a model of Parkinson′s Disease.
