Application
Mianserin hydrochloride has been used:
- as a reversible antagonist for serotonergic -protein coupled receptor (GPCR) - G-protein protein-coupled receptor (S7.1R)
- as an antidepressant in hippocampal astrocytes to test its effect on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA expression
- as a 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor antagonist to study its effect on serotonin modulation
Biochem/physiol Actions
Antidepressant; antagonist/inverse agonist at 5-HT2 serotonin receptors; also blocks the H1 histamine receptor and the α2 adrenoceptor.
Mianserin is a tetracyclic compound with sedative property. It lacks anticholinergic activity and is not effective on serotoninergic mechanisms. Mianserin is eliminated post biotransformation as hydroxylation, N-oxidation and N-demethylation products.
