“Pharmacokinetics of m-chlorophenylpiperazine after intravenous and oral administration in healthy male volunteers: implication for the pharmacodynamic profile”.

Abstract
Serotonin plays an important role in psychiatric diseases, most notably in depression and anxiety. Seven different major serotonin receptor subtypes have been described. Receptor-selective agonists and antagonists have been searched for to find a suitable drug to test the in vivo receptor sensitivity. Different serotonin receptor subtypes take part in the control of neuroendocrine function. m-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) acts as an agonist to serotonin 2C, 1A, 1B, and 1D receptor subtypes and is applied in challenge tests. The object of this study was to develop a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model to describe the effects of mCPP on pituitary hormone secretion.
