SB 242084 potently inhibited m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP, 7 mgkg i.p. 20 min pre-test)-induced hypolocomotion in rats, a model of in vivo central 5-HT2C receptor function, with an ID50 of 0.11 mg/kg i.p., and 2.0 mg/kg p.o. SB 242084 (0.1-1 mg/kg i.p.) exhibited an anxiolytic-like profile in the rat social interaction test, increasing time spent in social interaction, but having no effect on locomotion. SB 242084 (0.1-1 mg/kg i.p.) also markedly increased punished responding in a rat Geller-Seifter conflict test of anxiety, but had no consistent effect on unpunished responding. A large acute dose of SB 242084 (30 mg/kg p.o.) had no effect on seizure susceptibility in the rat maximal electroshock seizure threshold test. Also, while SB 242084 (2 and 6 mg/kg p.o. 1 hr pre-test) antagonized the hypophagic response to mCPP, neither acute nor subchronic administration of the drug, for 5 days at 2 or 6 mg/kg p.o. twice daily, affected food intake or weight gain. The results suggest that SB 242084 is the first reported selective potent and brain penetrant 5-HT2C receptor antagonist and has anxiolytic-like activity, but does not possess either proconvulsant or hyperphagic properties which are characteristic of mutant mice lacking the 5-HT2C receptor.[1]

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 other 5-HT, dopamine and adrenergic receptors. In studies of 5-HT-stimulated phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis using SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing the cloned human 5-HT2C receptor, SB 242084 acted as an antagonist with a pKb of 9.3, which closely resembled its corresponding receptor binding affinity[1].

The goal of this study was to determine the role of 5-HT2 receptors in the regulation of mitochondrial genes and oxidative metabolism in the kidney. The 5-HT2C receptor agonist CP-809,101 [2-[(3-chlorophenyl)methoxy]-6-(1-piperazinyl)pyrazine] and antagonist SB-242,084 [6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-5-methyl-N-[6-[(2-methyl-3-pyridinyl)oxy]-3-pyridinyl]-1H-indole-1-carboxyamide dihydrochloride] were used to examine the induction of renal mitochondrial genes and oxidative metabolism in RPTCs and in mouse kidneys in the presence and absence of the 5-HT2C receptor. Unexpectedly, both CP-809,101 and SB-242,084 increased RPTC respiration and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) mRNA expression in RPTCs at 1-10 nM. In addition, CP-809,101 and SB-242,084 increased mRNA expression of PGC-1α and the mitochondrial proteins NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 and NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) β subcomplex 8 in mice. These compounds increased mitochondrial genes in RPTCs in which the 5-HT2C receptor was downregulated with small interfering RNA and in the renal cortex of mice lacking the 5-HT2C receptor. By contrast, the ability of these compounds to increase PGC-1α mRNA and respiration was blocked in RPTCs treated with 5-HT2A receptor small interfering RNA or the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist eplivanserin. In addition, the 5-HT2A receptor agonist NBOH-2C-CN [4-[2-[[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]amino]ethyl]-2,5-dimethoxybenzonitrile] increased RPTC respiration at 1-100 nM[2].

SB242084 was daily dissolved in saline containing 8.0% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. All drugs were injected i.p. at a volume of 1ml/kg. SB242084 treatment Twenty-nine animals were separated in HR and LR and used for this experiment. After pre-conditioning, animals in both HR and LR groups received the following treatment during the conditioning phase: SB242084 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.)-cocaine or vehicle (saline containing 8.0% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, 1ml/kg, i.p.)-cocaine (n=6–9 per group). Pretreatments were administered 30 minutes before cocaine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) (Burmeister et al. 2004; Fletcher et al. 2002, 2006, 2008; Nic Dhonnchadha et al. 2009). Effects of MDL100907 or SB242084 on CPP acquisition in absence of cocaine Forty animals were separated according to their locomotor activity and used to test the potential conditioning effects induced by MDL100907 and SB242084 when administered alone, and to control for changes in place preference that might spontaneously occur over time. After pre-conditioning, HR and LR animals were divided into three treatment groups: MDL100907 (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.)-Saline, SB242084 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.)-Saline and Vehicle (saline containing 8.0% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, 1ml/kg, i.p.)-Saline (n=5 per group). A fourth treatment group, vehicle (saline containing 8.0% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, 1ml/kg, i.p.) followed by cocaine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) was also run in parallel as an internal control for the experiment (n=5 per group). In all cases, pretreatment was followed by treatment 30 minutes later.Reference: Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2012 Apr; 220(4): 731–740. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3314106/

Rationale: To examine the functional relationship between 5-HT1B receptors (5-HT1B-R) and 5-HT2C receptors (5-HT2C-R) in the control of food intake. Objectives: To compare the hypophagic effect of the 5-HT(2C/1B)-R agonist m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), with that of the selective 5-HT1B-R agonist CP-94,253 in both wildtype (WT) and 5-HT2C knockout (KO) mice. Methods: The hypophagic effects of mCPP (1, 3 and 5.6 mg/kg) and CP-94,253 (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) were assessed in WT and 5-HT2C KO mice using the behavioural satiety sequence paradigm. The effects of pre-treatment with the selective 5-HT2C-R antagonist SB 242,084 (0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg) were assessed in two groups of WT mice, with each group given only mCPP or CP-94,253. Results: The 5-HT(2C/1B) receptor agonist mCPP and the selective 5-HT1B receptor agonist CP-94,253 both suppressed food intake in WT mice. 5-HT2C KO mice were insensitive to the hypophagic effects of mCPP but were more sensitive to CP-94,253-induced hypophagia than WT controls. mCPP induced a significant increase in post-prandial activity in 5-HT2C KO mice, but this effect was absent in 5-HT2C KO mice who were given CP-94,253. Data from WT mice, who were pre-treated with the 5-HT2C receptor antagonist SB 242,084 and then challenged with either mCPP or CP-94,253, were similar to those obtained from 5-HT2C KO mice. Conclusions: 5-HT2C-R and 5-HT1B-R activation are each sufficient to induce a hypophagic response. However, concurrent 5-HT2C-R inactivation can potentiate the hypophagic response to 5-HT1B-R activation, consistent with an inhibitory role for the 5-HT2C-R in behaviour mediated by the activation of other 5-HT receptors. These results also confirm that 5-HT1B-R activation alone cannot account for the hyperactive response of 5-HT2C KO mice to mCPP.[2]
