Descripción

4-Fluoro-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (4FMBA) is a potential PET radioligand that binds to the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. 4FMBA has been shown to be an efficient and selective 5-HT2A antagonist with low molecular weight and high affinity. The binding of 4FMBA to the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor can be inhibited by ketanserin, which is a nonselective 5-HT2A antagonist. This drug may be used for cancer diagnosis, as it has a low detection limit and can detect endogenous serotonin in the brain. It also shows anti-depressant properties, which may be due to its ability to bind to the orthosteric site of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.
