5-HT 1D receptor agonists are pharmaceutical drugs for the treatment of migraine. They include: Triptans (which additionally act as 5-HT 1B receptor agonists) Ergotamine (which also has other mechanisms of action) Dihydroergotamine, a derivative of the former; Alniditan
Because there are too many side-effects for 5-HT to be used as a drug, scientists started research on the receptors of 5-HT in order to discover and develop a more specific agonist for 5-HT receptors. Research on the 5-HT receptors and their effect led to discovery of several types and subtypes of 5-HT. AH24167 showed a vasodilation effect ...
Triptans are selective agents for 5-HT 1B and 5-HT 1D [34] and have low or even no affinity for other types of 5-HT receptors. [22] 5-HT receptors are classified into seven different families named 5-HT 1 to 5-HT 7. All receptors are G protein coupled receptors with seven transmembrane domains with the one exception of 5-HT 3 receptor which is ...
Selective 5-HT 2A receptor agonists like the 25-NB compounds, specifically those which can behave as full agonists at this receptor, can cause serotonin syndrome-like adverse effects such as hyperthermia, hyperpyrexia, tachycardia, hypertension, clonus, seizures, agitation, aggression, and hallucinations which has ended in death on numerous ...

The 5-HT 1 receptors are a subfamily of the 5-HT serotonin receptors that bind to the endogenous neurotransmitter serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT). [1] The 5-HT 1 subfamily consists of five G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that share 40% to 63% overall sequence homology, including 5-HT 1A, 5-HT 1B, 5-HT 1D, 5-HT 1E, and 5-HT 1F. [2]
The exception to this is the 5-HT 3 receptor which is a ligand-gated ion channel. In 2014, a novel 5-HT receptor was isolated from the small white butterfly, Pieris rapae, and named pr5-HT 8. It does not occur in mammals and shares relatively low similarity to the known 5-HT receptor classes. [7]
