Product Information

• Name: 4-(4-Fluorobenzoyl)piperidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-(4-Fluorobenzoyl)piperidine is a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist that inhibits the binding of serotonin to the 5-HT2A receptor. It has been shown to produce an increase in dopamine and acetylcholine levels in brain tissue, as well as an inhibition of the release of serotonin from the nerve endings. This agent also blocks the binding of serotonin to the 5-HT1A receptor. 4-(4-Fluorobenzoyl)piperidine has been shown to inhibit uptake of serotonin into synaptosomes, but not into platelets or erythrocytes. This agent is also a 5-HT2C receptor antagonist and may be postulated as an antidepressant.
