Description

2-(2-Phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole is a competitive antagonist of 5-HT2C receptors. It produces a similar pharmacological profile to other 5-HT2C receptor ligands, such as mCPP and 3-FPM. The 2-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole has shown affinity for the 5-HT2A receptor, but it does not appear to have any agonist or antagonist activity at this site. The 2-(2-phenylethyl)-1H-benzimidazole is used in scientific research to study the molecular mechanisms of serotonin signaling pathways in the brain and also to understand how these pathways are involved in diseases such as depression and anxiety.
