A serotonin antagonist is a drug used to inhibit the action at serotonin receptor s. Many of the most important medications of this class selectively act at the 5 HT3 receptor , and thus are known as 5 HT3 antagonist s. However, other drugs such as ketanserin act upon other types of serotonin receptors. Antagonists of the 5 HT2A 5 HT sub 2A sub receptor are sometimes used as atypical antipsychotic s, with the typical antipsychotic s being purely dopamineantagonist s.

In neurochemistry, a muscarinic receptor antagonist is an agent that reduces the activity of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor . Acetylcholine often abbreviated ACh is a neurotransmitter, whose receptor is a protein found in synapse s and other cell membranes. Besides responding to their primary neurochemical, neurotransmitter receptors can be sensitive to a variety of other molecules. Acetylcholine receptors are classified into two groups based on this muscarinic, which respond to muscarine nicotinic, which respond to nicotine Most muscarinic receptor antagonists are synthetic, but scopolamine and atropine are Atropa belladonna belladonna alkaloids , and are naturally extracted. Effects Scopolamine and atropine have similar effects on the peripheral nervous system, however, scopolamine has greater effects on the Central Nervous System CNS than atropine due to its ability to cross the blood brain barrier. At higher than therapeutic doses, atropine and scopolamine cause CNS depression characterized by amnesia, fatigue and reduction in Rapid eye movement sleep rapid eye movement sleep . Hyoscine has anti emetic activity, so is used for motion sickness . Antimuscarinics are also used as anti parkinsonian drugs.

About the type of muscle other uses Antagonist Unreferenced date December 2009 Most muscles work in pairs, and when a muscle works it needs to have an Agonist muscle agonist and an antagonist , unless the muscle s natural state is opposite to that which is produced by the muscle, example Sphincter ani externus muscle . antagonistic pairs are located in opposite sides of a joint or bone. An antagonist is a classification used to describe a muscle that acts in opposition to the specific movement generated by the Agonist muscle agonist and is responsible for returning a limb to its initial position. Antagonistic pairs Antagonistic muscles are found in pairs called antagonistic pairs. These consist of an extensor muscle , which opens the joint i.e. increasing the angle between the two bones , flexor muscle , which does the opposite to an extensor muscle .lax Antagonistic pairs are needed in the body because muscles can only exert a pulling force, and can t push themselves back into their original positions. An example of this kind of muscle pairing is the biceps brachii and triceps brachii . When the biceps brachii biceps are contracting, the triceps are relaxed, and stretches back to its original position. The opposite happens when the triceps contract. Another example on antagonistic pairs abductor and adductor muscles.

Spironolactone , the first member of the class, is also used in the management of hyperaldosteronism including Conn s syndrome and female hirsutism . Mechanism of Action Aldosterone antagonists are, as the name suggests, receptor antagonist s at the mineralocorticoid receptor . Antagonism of these receptors inhibits sodium resorption in the collecting duct of the nephron in the kidneys. This interferes with sodium potassium exchange, reducing urinary potassium excretion and weakly increasing water excretion diuresis . ref Rossi S, editor. Australian Medicines Handbook 2006.
