Antagonist Comments
Mianserin has activity across several families of GPCRs, including the histamine H1 receptor, 5-HT receptors and α-adrenoceptors, but may have additional actions. The 5-HT2A, 2B and 2C receptors have been tagged as the primary targets of this drug in view of their high affinity. This does not preclude clinically relevant actions at other molecular targets.
Immunopharmacology Comments
The expression of 5-HT2B receptors on immune cells indicates that it plays some part in immune/inflammatory responses [52].
