The Lorcaserin, with its CAS NO 616202-92-7, is a kind of white or kind of white powder. It has synonyms of (R)-8-Chloro-1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine and 1H-3-Benzazepine,8-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-methyl-, (1R)-.  Lorcaserin should be stored in shady and cool warehouse.

Lorcaserin is a selective 5-HT2C receptor agonist, and in vitro testing of the drug showed reasonable selectivity for 5-HT2C over other related targets. 5-HT2C receptors are located almost exclusively in the brain, and can be found in the choroid plexus, cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum, amygdala, thalamus, and hypothalamus. The activation of 5-HT2C receptors in the hypothalamus is supposed to activate proopiomelanocortin (POMC) production and consequently promote weight loss through satiety.This hypothesis is supported by clinical trials and other studies. While it is generally thought that 5-HT2C receptors help to regulate appetite as well as mood, and endocrine secretion,the exact mechanism of appetite regulation is not yet known. Lorcaserin has shown 100x selectivity for 5-HT2C versus the closely related 5-HT2B receptor, and 17x selectivity over the 5-HT2A receptor.
