Since the first characterization of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2B receptor (5-HT<sub>2B</sub>R) in 1992, significant progress has been made in 5-HT<sub>2B</sub>R research. Herein, we summarize the biological function, structure, and small-molecule pharmaceutical ligands of the 5-HT<sub>2B</sub>R. Emerging evidence has suggested that the 5-HT<sub>2B</sub>R is implicated in the regulation of the cardiovascular system, fibrosis disorders, cancer, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and the nervous system ...[more]
