Background:

Asenapine maleate is a 5-HT (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 2C, 5A, 6, 7) and D2 antagonist with Ki values of 0.03-4.0 nM, 1.3nM, respectively, and an antipsychotic.

Relative to its D2 receptor affinity, asenapine has a higher affinity for 5-HT2C, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT7, 5-HT6, α2B and D3 receptors, suggesting stronger engagement of these targets at therapeutic doses. Asenapine behaves as a potent antagonist (pKB) at 5-HT1A (7.4), 5-HT1B (8.1), 5-HT2A (9.0), 5-HT2B (9.3), 5-HT2C (9.0), 5-HT6 (8.0), 5-HT7 (8.5), D2 (9.1), D3 (9.1), α2A (7.3), α2B (8.3), α2C (6.8) and H1 (8.4) receptors[2].

Asenapine is an atypical antipsychotic that is currently available for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. Asenapine may have superior therapeutic effect on anxiety symptoms than other agents in rats[3]. Asenapine has anxiolytic-like effects in the EPM and the defensive marble burying tests in mice[4].
