Obesity is a worldwide epidemic and there is an urgent need for the development of effective pharmacological therapies that target the metabolic and behavioral factors of body weight regulation. Serotonin (5-HT) has been implicated as a critical factor in the short-term (meal-by-meal) regulation of food intake and pharmaceutical companies have invested millions of dollars to discover and develop drug targets for the serotonergic pathway Lorcaserin is a novel selective agonist of the 5-HT2C receptor for weight loss therapy Preclinical and clinical studies indicate lorcaserin is well tolerated and not associated with cardiac valvulopathy or pulmonary hypertension suggesting that lorcaserin is a selective 5-HT2C receptor agonist and has little or no activation of the 5-HT2B and 5-HT2A receptors, respectively Lorcaserin acts to alter energy balance through a reduction in energy intake and without an increase in energy expenditure and achieved the U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for weight loss efficacy. It remains to be determined whether or not lorcaserin will be approved for the long-term management of obesity.
