RS-127,445 je lek koji deluje kao potentan i selektivan antagonist na serotoninskom5-HT2Breceptor, sa oko 1000x selektivnošću u odnosu na blisko srodne 5-HT2A i 5-HT2C receptore.[3] Uloga 5-HT2B receptora u telu još uvek nije dovoljno razjašnjena, i RS-127,445 je bio korisno oruđe u raščlanjavanju funkcija različitih sistema u kojima je ovaj receptor izražen.[4][5][6]
