1 Inhibition of Cocaine and 3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) Self-Administration by Lorcaserin Is Mediated by 5-HT2C Receptors in Rats. lorcaserin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C Homo sapiens
2 Lorcaserin is a serotonin (5-HT)2C receptor-preferring agonist approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat obesity. lorcaserin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C Homo sapiens
3 Antagonism of 5-HT2C (but not 5-HT1A or 5-HT2A) receptors blocked the effects of lorcaserin on cocaine and MDPV self-administration. lorcaserin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C Homo sapiens
4 Taken together, these data provide additional support for further development of 5-HT2C receptor agonists, such as lorcaserin, for the treatment of stimulant abuse. lorcaserin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C Homo sapiens
