Cinanserin (INN) is a 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor antagonist which was discovered in the 1960s. It showed about 50-fold higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor and had very low affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1 receptors.
The molecule is an inhibitor of the 3C-like protease of SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2.
