Excerpt

Recent research raises the question whether the serotonin 2B receptor (5-HT2B) plays a role in the pathogenesis of migraine. Clinical studies revealed that the 5-HT2B/2C agonist meta-Chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) induces migraine-like headache more likely in migraineurs than in subjects without a history of migraine. We therefore developed an animal model for chronic migraine, where we are able to induce a neurogenic inflammation in the dura mater of hypoxic mice with 5-HT2B agonists. This inflammation can be blocked by specific 5-HT2B inhibitors. …
