Description: SB-242084 is a psychoactive drug and research chemical which acts as a selective antagonist for the 5HT2C receptor. It has anxiolytic effects, and enhances dopamine signaling in the limbic system, as well as having complex effects on the dopamine release produced by cocaine, increasing it in some brain regions but reducing it in others. It has been shown to increase the effectiveness of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of antidepressants, and may also reduce their side effects. In animal studies, SB-242084 produced stimulant-type activity and reinforcing effects, somewhat similar to but much weaker than cocaine or amphetamines.

Biological target: SB 242084 hydrochloride is a 5-HT2C receptor antagonist (pKi=9.0) that displays 158- and 100-fold selectivity over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors respectively.
In vitro activity: This study added SB242084 (10−8–10−5 mol/L) to U251 cells after 30 min incubation of RO-60-0175 10−6 mol/L. U251 cells were conducted with RO-60-0175 and SB242084 at 37 °C for 2 h. Changes in mRNA expression were detected by real-time PCR and calculated by 2-ΔΔCt method. Overexpression of NEP mRNA induced by RO-60-0175 is almost inhibited completely at concentration 10−5 mol/L of SB242084 (Fig. 2a). The dose–response curve was plotted by Origin 6.0 (OriginLab, Northampton, USA), and the inhibitory concentration 50 % (IC50) of SB242084 was calculated to be 2.9 × 10−6 mol/L (Fig. 2b).

In vivo activity: One of the more remarkable findings from this study is that LR (low-responder) animals were overall more susceptible to the effects induced by the selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist SB242084 than HR (high-responder) rats. Indeed, repeated co-administration of SB242084+cocaine, during the conditioning phase produced a significant increase in the CPP (conditioned place preference) response in LR rats only. Moreover, a negative correlation between locomotion and CPP in animals pretreated with SB242084+cocaine was observed. These effects were present only when SB242084 was co-administered with cocaine. In fact, injection of SB242084 followed by saline did not to induce CPP in LR animals. These finding suggests that in this study the 5-HT2C receptor blockade facilitated the acquisition of cocaine-induced place preference in LR animals by either increasing the efficacy of the cocaine rewarding actions or improving the learning conditions.
