Most of these drugs also act as agonists of other serotonin receptors. Not all 5-HT 2A receptor agonists are psychoactive. [5] The 25-NB (NBOMe) series is a family of phenethylamine serotonergic psychedelics that, unlike other classes of serotonergic psychedelics, act as highly selective 5-HT 2A receptor agonists. [6]
To be precise, SMSs simultaneously modulate one or more serotonin receptors and inhibit the reuptake of serotonin. The term was created to describe the mechanism of action of the serotonergic antidepressant vortioxetine, which acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI), agonist of the 5-HT 1A receptor, and antagonist of the 5-HT 3 and 5-HT 7 ...
5-HT receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, or serotonin receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptor and ligand-gated ion channels found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission .
The vasodilator action is mediated by 5-HT 1D receptors, whereas the vasoconstriction effect involves 5-HT 2 receptor activation. [48] YM-348 is a highly selective 5-HT 2C agonist and results show that YM348 can induce penile erections and hypolocomotion (induced at a high dose) in rats, as did other 5-HT 2C receptor agonists.
Serotonin (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ t oʊ n ɪ n, ˌ s ɪər ə-/) [6] [7] [8] or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter.Its biological function is complex, touching on diverse functions including mood, cognition, reward, learning, memory, and numerous physiological processes such as vomiting and vasoconstriction.
Noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NaSSAs) are a class of psychiatric drugs used primarily as antidepressants. [1] They act by antagonizing the α 2 -adrenergic receptor and certain serotonin receptors such as 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2C , [ 1 ] but also 5-HT 3 , [ 1 ] 5-HT 6 , and/or 5-HT 7 in some cases.

A serotonergic substance, medication, or receptor protein is one that affects neurotransmission pathways that involve serotonin, as follows: Serotonergic drugs Serotonin receptor agonists; Serotonin receptor antagonists; Serotonin reuptake inhibitors; Serotonin releasing agents; Serotonergic psychedelics; Serotonergic cells Serotonergic cell groups
