    Product Description

    SB-242084 is an antagonist of the 5-HT2C receptor (pKi = 9.0), with at least 100-fold more selectivity over other 5-HT, dopamine, or adrenergic receptors.1,2 In vivo, it is brain penetrant and has significant anxiolytic activity, without sedative, proconvulsant, or hyperphagic properties.1 SB-242084 has been used extensively in animal research to evaluate, for example, 5-HT2C receptor agonists and neurotransmitter receptor interactions in mice.3,4,5

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
