    Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 19:177-87. 2009
    ..These results confirm that asenapine displays potent antagonistic activity at 5-HT(2A), D(2), alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors and provide evidence to support its 5-HT(1A) partial agonistic activity...

    Ramez Ghanbari
    University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research, Ottawa, ON, Canada
    J Pharmacol Exp Ther 335:197-206. 2010
    ..The enhanced 5-HT neurotransmission by trazodone is caused in part by reuptake blockade and activation of postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptors, which may account for its effectiveness in major depression...
