Function

The 5-HT₂ receptors (of which the 5-HT_2B receptor is a subtype) mediate many of the central and peripheral physiologic functions of serotonin. Cardiovascular effects include contraction of blood vessels and shape changes in platelets; central nervous system effects include neuronal sensitization to tactile stimuli and mediation of some of the effects of phenylisopropylamine hallucinogens.

The 5-HT_2B receptor subtype is involved in:

CNS: presynaptic inhibition, behavioural effects^[3]
Vascular: pulmonary vasoconstriction^[4]
Cardiac: The 5-HT_2B receptor regulates cardiac structure and functions as demonstrated by the abnormal cardiac development observed in 5-HT_2B receptor null mice.^[5] The 5-HT_2B receptor stimulation can also lead to pathological proliferation of cardiac valves fibroblasts,^[6] which with chronic overstimulation of 5-HT_2B can lead to a severe valvulopathy. Moreover, 5-HT_2B receptors were recently shown to be overexpressed in human failing heart and antagonists of 5-HT_2B receptors were uncovered to prevent both angiotensin II or beta-adrenergic agonist-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy in mouse.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Serotonin transporter: 5-HT_2B receptors regulate serotonin release via the serotonin transporter, and are important both to normal physiological regulation of serotonin levels in blood plasma,^[10] and with the abnormal acute serotonin release produced by drugs such as MDMA.^[3] Surprisingly however 5-HT_2B receptor activation appears to be protective against the development of serotonin syndrome following elevated extracellular serotonin levels,^[11] despite its role in modulating serotonin release.

Ligands

As of 2009, few highly selective 5-HT_2B receptor ligands have been discovered, although numerous potent non-selective compounds are known, particularly agents with concomitant 5-HT_2C binding. Research in this area has been limited due to the cardiotoxicity of 5HT_2B agonists, and the lack of clear therapeutic application for 5HT_2B antagonists, but there is still a need for selective ligands for scientific research.^[12]

Agonists

Possible applications

5-HT_2B antagonists have previously been proposed as treatment for migraine headaches, and RS-127,445 was trialled in humans up to Phase I for this indication, but development was not continued.^[24] More recent research has focused on possible application of 5-HT_2B antagonists as treatments for chronic heart disease.^[25]^[26]
