SB 242084 dihydrochloride hydrate was used to study the role of 5-HT2C on food intake behavior of rats.4,5
Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas
SB 242084 is a potent and selective antagonist of 5-HT2C receptor. It increases the basal activity of dopaminergic neurons and affects the behavioral responses mediated by 5-HT2C such as mesolimbic neuron activity and food intake.3,4,5

SB 242084 has a high affinity (pKi 9.0) for the cloned human 5-HT2C receptor and 100- and 158-fold selectivity over the closely related cloned human 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A subtypes respectively. SB 242084 had over 100-fold selectivity over a range of

Rats consistently reduce their food intake following injections of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Because inhibition of serotonergic (5-HT) activity by 8-OH-DPAT (5-HT(1A) activation) attenuates LPS-induced anorexia, we conducted a series of studies to examine whether other 5-HT-receptors are involved in the
6-Chloro-5-methyl-1-[[2-[(2-methyl-3-pyridyl)oxy]-5-pyridyl]carbamoyl]- indoline (SB-242084): the first selective and brain penetrant 5-HT2C receptor antagonist.

LPS, a potent activator of the innate immune system, is commonly used to investigate the acute phase response to infection, including anorexia. Serotonin 2C-receptor signaling has been shown to be involved in the mediation of LPS anorexia. Here we used
Electrophysiological techniques and in vivo microdialysis were used to investigate the effect of SB 242084, a potent and selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist in the control of nigro-striatal and mesolimbic dopaminergic function. Thus, extracellular single unit recordings were performed from neurochemically-identified
