SB-224289 is a selective serotonin 5-HT1B receptor antagonist or inverse agonist which is used in scientific research.[1][2][3][4][5] It is more than 75-fold selective for the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor over all other serotonin receptors.[3] The drug indirectly increases serotonin release by blocking inhibitory serotonin 5-HT1B autoreceptors.[1][3] In addition to its serotonin 5-HT1B receptor antagonism, SB-224289 has subsequently been found to counteract the antifungal effects of the marine depsipeptide papuamide A.[6]
