Centhaquine (brand name Lyfaquin) is a cardiovascular drug.[1] In India, it is approved for the treatment of hypovolemic shock.[2]

Centhaquine is a vasopressor that activates α2A- and α2B-adrenoreceptors.[3] It increases venous return and improves tissue perfusion. The drug has more recently been identified as a potent and selective serotonin 5-HT2C receptor agonist (EC50 Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 35nM).[4] It has no detectable activity at the serotonin 5-HT2B or 5-HT2C receptors.[4]
