A serotonin antagonist is a drug used to inhibit the action at serotonin receptor s. Many of the most important medications of this class selectively act at the 5 HT3 receptor , and thus are known as 5 HT3 antagonist s. However, other drugs such as ketanserin act upon other types of serotonin receptors. Antagonists of the 5 HT2A 5 HT sub 2A sub receptor are sometimes used as atypical antipsychotic s, with the typical antipsychotic s being purely dopamineantagonist s. Ketanserine blocks 5 HT2A,5 HT2C and alpha 1 receptors. Ondansetron,Dolansetron,Granisetron are 5 HT3 receptor antagonist.they are efficacious in treating chemotherapy induced emesis. Clozapine blocks 5 HT2A,5 HT2C,D4 receptors. Quetiapine blocks 5 HT2A,5 HT1A,D1 2,HI,alpha 1 receptors.

In neurochemistry, a muscarinic receptor antagonist is an agent that reduces the activity of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor . Acetylcholine often abbreviated ACh is a neurotransmitter, whose receptor is a protein found in synapse s and other cell membranes. Besides responding to their primary neurochemical, neurotransmitter receptors can be sensitive to a variety of other molecules. Acetylcholine receptors are classified into two groups based on this muscarinic, which respond to muscarine nicotinic, which respond to nicotine Most muscarinic receptor antagonists are synthetic, but scopolamine and atropine are Atropa belladonna belladonna alkaloids , and are naturally extracted. Effects Scopolamine and atropine have similar effects on the peripheral nervous system, however, scopolamine has greater effects on the CNS than atropine due to its ability to cross the blood brain barrier. At higher than therapeutic doses, atropine and scopolamine cause CNS depression characterized by amnesia, fatigue and reduction in Rapid eye movement sleep rapid eye movement sleep . Hyoscine has anti emetic activity, so is used for motion sickness . Antimuscarinics are also used as anti parkinsonian drugs. In Parkinson s disease Parkinsonism , there is imbalance between levels of acetylcholine and dopamine in the brain, involving both increased levels of acetylcholine and degeneration of dopaminergic pathways nigrostriatal pathway .

About the type of muscle other uses Antagonist Unreferenced date December 2009 All muscles work in pairs, and when a muscle works it needs to have an Agonist muscle agonist and an antagonist . An antagonist is a classification used to describe a muscle that acts in opposition to the specific movement generated by the Agonist muscle agonist and is responsible for returning a limb to its initial position. Antagonistic Pairs Antagonistic muscles are found in pairs called antagonistic pairs. These consist of an extensor muscle , which opens the joint i.e. increasing the angle between the two bones , flexor muscle , which does the opposite to an extensor muscle . Antagonistic pairs are needed in the body because muscles can only exert a pulling force, and can t push themselves back into their original positions. An example of this kind of muscle pairing is the biceps brachii and triceps brachii . When the biceps brachii biceps are contracting, the triceps are relaxed, and stretches back to its original position. The opposite happens when the triceps contract.

An opioid antagonist is an receptor antagonist that acts on opioid receptor s. Naloxone and naltrexone are commonly used opioid antagonist drugs which are competitive antagonist s that bind to the opioid receptors with higher affinity than agonists but do not activate the receptors. This effectively blocks the receptor, preventing the body from responding to opiates and endorphins. Some opioid antagonists are not pure antagonists but in fact do produce some weak opioid partial agonist effects, and can produce analgesic effects when administered in high doses to opioid naive individuals. Examples of such compounds include nalorphine and levallorphan . However the analgesic effects from these drugs are limited and tend to be accompanied by dysphoria , most likely due to action at the kappa opioid receptor . As they induce opioid withdrawal effects in people who are taking, or have recently used, opioid full agonists, these drugs are considered to be antagonists for practical purposes. The weak partial agonist effect can be useful for some purposes, and has previously been used for purposes such as long term maintenance of former opioid addicts using nalorphine, however it can also have disadvantages such as worsening respiratory depression in patients who have overdosed on non opioid sedatives such as Alcoholic beverage alcohol or barbiturates . Naloxone on the other hand has no partial agonist effects, and is in fact a partial inverse agonist at mu opioid receptors, and so is the preferred ...

Corticosteroid s inhibit phospholipase A sub 2 sub production by boosting production of lipocortin , an inhibitor protein. Relatively new drugs, known as COX 2 selective inhibitor s or coxibs, are used as specific inhibitors of COX 2. The development of these drugs allowed the circumvention of the negative gastrointestinal effects while effectively reducing inflammation. Adverse effects Both NSAIDs and Coxibs can raise the risk of myocardial infarction , when taken on a chronic basis for at least 18 months. One emerging hypothesis that may explain the cardiovascular effects is that coxibs create an imbalance in circulating TxA2 thromboxane and PGI2 prostacyclin levels. An increased in the ratio of TxA2 PGI2 could lead to increased platelet aggregation and dysregulation of platelet homeostasis. ref Cheng Y et al., Role of prostacyclin in the cardiovascular response to thromboxane A2.
