| Bioactivity | Sarpogrelate hydrochloride (MCI-9042) is a selective 5-HT2R antagonist, with pKis of 8.52, 6.57, and 7.43 for 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors, respectively. Sarpogrelate hydrochloride displays selectivity over 5-HT1, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, α1-, α2- and β-adrenoreceptor, histamine H1, H2 and muscarinic M3 receptors. Sarpogrelate hydrochloride can be used for the research of vascular disease associated with thrombosis[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Sarpogrelate is selective for 5-HT2 (pKi=7.54) over 5-HT1 (pKi=4.58), α1-, α2-, and β-adrenergic (pKi=3.17-6.19), and muscarinic receptors (pKi=4.39)[2].Sarpogrelate (10 μM) significantly reduces the number of platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-induced THP-1 cell that adheres to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)[3].Sarpogrelate (10 μM) significantly reduces the expression of PRP-induced E-selectin in HUVECs[3]. |
| In Vivo | Sarpogrelate (5 mg/kg; i.p. daily for 4 weeks) inhibits HFFD-induced obesity and decreases leukocyte-endothelial interactions in mice[3]. Animal Model: |
