Product Description

Ketanserin (R41468; Vulketan; KJK-945; R-41468), an aprroved antihypertensive drug, is 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 I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
5-HT2A ( Ki = 2.5 nM ); 5-HT2C (Rat) ( Ki = 50 nM ); 5-HT2C (Human) ( Ki = 100 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Ketanserin 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.[1] 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.[2] 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. [3]

ln Vivo
The involvement of 5-HT2 receptors in pain transmission was investigated in mice. Subcutaneous administration of the selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ketanserin produced dose-dependent antinociception in the hot-plate and acetic acid-induced writhing tests with ED50 values (95% confidence limit) of 1.51 (1.13-1.89) and 0.62 (0.10-1.40) mg/kg, respectively, but was without any significant effect on the tail-flick test. Pretreatment with the catecholamine depletors 6-hydroxydopamine (2.5 micrograms, i.c.v.) or alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (200 mg/kg, s.c.), or the serotonin synthesis inhibitor p-chlorophenylalanine methylester (200 mg/kg, s.c.), resulted in a significant decrease in the antinociceptive effect of ketanserin. Likewise, intrathecal (i.t.) administration of 1 microgram/mouse of idazoxan (an alpha 2-antagonist), methysergide (mixed 5-HT1, and 5-HT2 antagonist) or ketanserin also reversed the antinociceptive effect of s.c. administered ketanserin. The results of this work indicate that 5-HT2 receptors located supraspinally may inhibit descending nociceptive neurotransmission. In addition, these studies suggest that 5-HT2 receptors located at the spinal level modulate nociception.[4]
Ketanserin exhibits dose-dependent antinociception with ED50 values (95% confidence limit) of 1.51 and 0.62 mg/kg, respectively, but has no discernible effect on the tail-flick test in the hot-plate and acetic acid-induced writhing tests.
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[1].
Cell Assay
The HEK 293 cell line, which has been established to express hERG channels consistently, is cultivated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's 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 (IKs). 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
Rat: A total of 180–220 g male Sprague-Dawley rats, 2 months old, free of specific pathogens, are used. The following six groups are created at random from the rats: 10-OH-DPAT 5-HT1A receptor agonist PS group (DPAT-PS group, n = 30); 5-HT1A receptor antagonist (MDL73005) PS group (MDL-PS group, n = 30); 5-HT2A receptor agonist (DOI) PS group (DOI-PS group, n = 30); 5-HT2A receptor antagonist (Ketanserin) PS group (Ketan-PS group, n = 30); the solvent control no-stress group (0.9% physiological saline group, CON group); 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.
