MPPF (4,4'-Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate) is a potent and selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor. It is used in scientific research to study the role of the 5-HT1A receptor in the action of drugs and in various biological processes.
Chemistry[edit]
MPPF is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C17H15NO2. It is a derivative of phenylisocyanate, with two phenyl groups attached to a central carbon atom. The compound is a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents.
Pharmacology[edit]
MPPF acts as an antagonist at the 5-HT1A receptor, meaning it blocks the action of serotonin at this receptor. This makes it a useful tool in research to study the role of the 5-HT1A receptor in various biological processes, including mood regulation, anxiety, and the action of certain drugs.
Uses in Research[edit]
MPPF has been used in a variety of research studies to investigate the role of the 5-HT1A receptor. For example, it has been used to study the effects of drugs that act on the 5-HT1A receptor, such as antidepressants and anxiolytics. It has also been used to investigate the role of the 5-HT1A receptor in mood regulation and anxiety.
Safety[edit]
As with all chemicals, MPPF should be handled with care. It is not intended for human consumption and should be used only in a laboratory setting by trained professionals.
