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.

In this study, we demonstrate that clozapine and other atypical antipsychotic drugs induce a paradoxical internalization of 5-hydroxytryptamine-2A receptors in vitro and a redistribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine-2A receptors in vivo. We discovered that clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone and the putative atypical antipsychotic

In order to test potential links with other stereospecific neurobiological effects of mianserin, the present study explored the stereospecificity for inhibition of depolarization-induced Ca2+ uptake by mianserin. Synaptosomes from rat hippocampus were incubated with 45Ca2+ in either resting or depolarizing

Some in-vitro pharmacological effects of a novel analogue of mianserin, 2-carboxamidino-1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo (c,f) pyrazino (1,2-alpha) azepine hydrochloride (FCC5) have been studied. FCC5 was a non-competitive antagonist of both histamine-induced contractions of the guinea-pig ileum and 5-HT-induced contractions of rat fundal strips
