SB-221284 is a selective serotonin 5-HT2C and 5-HT2B receptor antagonist which is used in scientific research.
Its affinities (Ki) are 2.2 to 2.5 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, 2.5 to 12.6 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 398 to 550 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (where it is also an antagonist). The drug has 160- to 250-fold selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. It is said to have been the first serotonin 5-HT2C receptor ligand to show 100-fold selectivity over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.
SB-221284 has shown anxiolytic-like effects in animals. Conversely, it has been said to be inactive in terms of antidepressant-like, antiobsessional-like, antipanic-like, and sedative effects. It also showed no proconvulsant or hyperphagic effects in animals, phenotypes that are notably observed with serotonin 5-HT2C receptor knockout.
The preferential serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) and the serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine have been found to acutely reduce social interaction in rodents. SB-221284 was found to reverse the acute decreases in social interaction produced by mCPP and fluoxetine. The drug has also been found to block mCPP-induced hypolocomotion. Both SB-221284 and the selective serotonin 5-HT2C receptor antagonist SB-242084 have been found to enhance the nucleus accumbens dopamine release and hyperlocomotion induced by NMDA receptor antagonists like phencyclidine (PCP) and dizocilpine (MK-801). Conversely, both drugs had no effect on locomotor activity or dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens by themselves. However, another study reported that SB-221284 by itself did enhance locomotion.
SB-221284 was first described in the scientific literature by 1996. It was researched by GlaxoSmithKline as a possible non-sedating anxiolytic and reached the preclinical research stage of development. However, it was found to be a potent inhibitor of a number of human cytochrome P450 enzymes (particularly CYP1A2), which precluded further development of the drug. Other sources have stated that SB-221284 was not further developed due to "toxicity" and that other drugs were pursued instead as SB-221284 was a "fairly weak" serotonin 5-HT2C receptor antagonist.

SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals has developed a number of useful anxiolytic agents targeting the 5-HT2C receptor, since the early 1990s. They revealed a number of bispyridyl ether compounds with selective 5-HT2A/2B/2C receptor antagonist activity (e.g., SB-242084 and SB-221284, compound 16 and 17, respectively, FIGURE 2), which exhibited significant anxiolytic activity and blocked the hypolocomotion in rats, centrally mediated by m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP, compound 8, FIGURE 1), which is a hallucinogen also known as ecstasy with selective 5-HT2A/2C/2B agonist activity, an induce behavioral symptoms of anxiety in both animal models and humans.

This led to the synthesis of SB-221284 (4) which was the first ligand to show over 100-fold selectivity for 5-HT2C . The compound was still fairly weak as an antagonist so further elaboration was necessary.

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. 43 (6): 1123–1134. doi:10.1021/jm990388c. PMID 10737744.
Subsequently, we developed a number of selective 5-HT2C/B receptor antagonists, such as 1 (SB206553) and 2 (SB-221284), which block the centrally mediated mCPP-induced hypolocomotion in rats. These compounds also exhibited significant anxiolytic activity in several different animal models, lending strong support to our original hypothesis.4-6

In contrast, 5-HT2C receptor antagonists such as SB-200646A or SB-221284 show signs of anxiolytic-like activity in tests for conditioned and phobic-like anxiety in rodents whereas they are inactive in tests indicative of antidepressant, anti-OCD and antipanic activity.

The result was the optimised indoline SB-221284 (4), with 140-fold 5-HT2c selectivity, pKi = 8.6, ID50 = 1.5 mg/kg, and a minimum effective dose of 1 mg/kg in the Geller-Seifter test.
