Ketanserin tartrate 83846-83-7_5-HT Receptor_GPCR & G Protein_Signaling Pathways_Products

Ketanserin tartrate (R-41468; Vulketan) is an aprroved antihypertensive drug, acting as a potent and specific 5-HT2A serotonin receptor antagonist with a Ki of 2.5 nM for rat and human 5-HT2A. Additionally, it can be applied to distinguish between 5-HT1D and 5-HT1B receptor subtypes. When postjunctional alpha adrenergic activation occurs, ketanserin prevents the contraction of the canine saphenous vein and the rat caudal artery.

Biological Activity

Targets

5-HT₂ Receptor; hERG current ( IC50 = 0.11 μM )

ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Ketanserin (R49945; KJK945) causes the contractile responses of isolated rat caudal arteries, dog carotid, basilar, coronary, and gastrosplenic arteries, as well as dog saphenous and gastrosplenic veins, to be dose-dependently inhibited by 5-hydroxytryptamine. Postjunctional alpha adrenergic activation-induced contractions of the canine saphenous vein and rat caudal arteries are inhibited by ketanserin. In the stomach of a perfused guinea pig, ketanserin depresses and, in some experiments, reverses the vasoconstrictor response to 5-hydroxytryptamine. In the lateral geniculate nucleus, it is discovered that ketonerin reduces the excitatory reactions triggered by norepinephrine, an alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated response. In the lateral geniculate nucleus, ketanserin increases rather than decreases the inhibitory effect of 5-HT. In rat ventricular myocytes, ketanserin significantly increases action potential duration (APD) at 50% repolarization by 218% and APD at 90% repolarization by 256%. No discernible effects are seen on other action potential parameters. Ketanserin inhibits the charge area of Ito in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, as measured by integration, with an EC50 of 8.3 μM. With an EC50 of 11.2 μM, ketanserin also inhibits Ito and sustained current (ISus) in a dose-dependent manner. It has no discernible effect on the L-type calcium current or the inward rectifier potassium current.

ln Vivo

Ketanserin (R49945; KJK945) does not significantly affect the tail-flick test, but it does produce dose-dependent antinociception in the hot-plate and acetic acid-induced writhing tests, with ED50 values (95% confidence limit) of 1.51 and 0.62 mg/kg, respectively.

Enzyme Assay

The serotonergic receptor antagonist 3-(2-[4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl)-2,4-[1H,3H]quinazolinedione Ketanserin (R 41 468) caused a dose-dependent inhibition on the contractile responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine of isolated rat caudal artery, canine basilar, carotid, coronary and gastrosplenic arteries, canine gastrosplenic veins (threshold 10(-10)-10(-9) M) and canine saphenous veins (threshold 10(-8) M). In concentrations up to 2.5 X 10(-5) M, it did not have agonistic properties. From 10(-8) M on, R 41 468 inhibited the contractions of rat caudal arteries and canine saphenous veins caused by postjunctional alpha adrenergic activation. In the rat caudal artery, R 41 468, in concentrations which did not affect the contractile response to norepinephrine, abolished the amplifying effect of low concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine on alpha adrenergic activation. In the canine saphenous vein, R 41 468 did not affect the prejunctional inhibitory effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine during sympathetic nerve stimulation. In the perfused guinea-pig stomach, R 41 468 depressed and in certain experiments reversed the vasoconstrictor response to 5-hydroxytryptamine. In isolated perfused kidneys from both normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats, R 41 468, in concentrations which did not depress vasoconstrictor responses to exogenous norepinephrine, inhibited those to 5-hydroxytryptamine. The compound caused a dose-related reduction in aortic blood pressure in unanesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats, which was larger and occurred at lower concentrations, than in control animals. These results demonstrate that R 41 468 is a potent antagonist of the vasoconstrictor effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine, in particular of its amplifying effect on threshold amounts of norepinephrine, which may help explain its antihypertensive properties[J Pharmacol Exp Ther . 1981 Jul;218(1):217-30.].

Cell Assay

The HEK 293 cell line, which has been established to express hERG channels consistently, is cultivated in Dulbecco's modified Eagles medium (DMEM) that has been enhanced with 10% foetal bovine serum and 400 μg/mL G418. The HEK 293 cell line is cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum and 100 μg/mL hygromycin, which is responsible for the stable expression of recombinant human cardiac KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel current (I_Ks). On a glass coverslip, cells are seeded for electrophysiology. HEK 293 cells are used to create the mutant hERG channels, which are then temporarily expressed using 10 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 in combination with 4 μg of hERG mutant cDNA in pCDNA3 vector.

Animal Protocol

5 mg/kg

Rats: A total of 155 male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 180–220 g, that are 2 months old and free of specific pathogens are utilized. The following six groups are randomly assigned to the rats: The solvent control no-stress group (0.9% physiological saline group, CON group); the 5-HT_1A receptor antagonist (MDL73005) PS group (MDL-PS group, n=30); the 5-HT_2A receptor agonist (DOI) PS group (DOI-PS group, n=30); the 5-HT_2A receptor antagonist (Ketanserin) PS group (Ketan-PS group, n=30); and the PS only group (PS group, n=30). The six subgroups (n=5 each) comprising the DPAT-PS, MDL-PS, DOI-PS, Ketan-PS, and PS groups are further separated based on the amount of time that elapses between the stress and analysis: immediately following the stress, as well as 0.5, 1, 2, 6, and 24 hours after the stress. The five members of the CON group eat normally. Ketanserin, diluted in 0.9% physiological saline, is injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 5 mg/kg one hour prior to each stress exposure for the Ketan-PS group.

Additional Infomation

Ketanserin is a member of the class of quinazolines that is quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione which is substituted at position 3 by a 2-[4-(p-fluorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl group. It has a role as an alpha-adrenergic antagonist, a serotonergic antagonist, an antihypertensive agent, a cardiovascular drug and an EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor. It is a member of quinazolines, a member of piperidines, an organofluorine compound and an aromatic ketone. It is a conjugate base of a ketanserin(1+).
Ketanserin has been investigated for the treatment of Septic Shock, Severe Sepsis, and Diabetic Foot Ulcer.
Ketanserin is a quinazoline derivative and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) receptor subtype 2 (5-HTR2) antagonist with potential antihypertensive and antiplatelet activities. Following administration, ketanserin binds to and inhibits the signaling mediated by 5-HTR2, which inhibits serotonin-dependent vasoconstriction and platelet activation.
A selective serotonin receptor antagonist with weak adrenergic receptor blocking properties. The drug is effective in lowering blood pressure in essential hypertension. It also inhibits platelet aggregation. It is well tolerated and is particularly effective in older patients.
