Description | Ketanserin is a selective 5-HT receptor antagonist. Ketanserin also blocks hERG current (IhERG) in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=0.11 μM).In Vitro:Ketanserin at 0.3 μM inhibits the voltage-dependent step current (IhERG.step) and tail current (IhERG.tail) of hERG channels with a 5-min exposure[1]. The synergistic effect observed for AA with 5-HT is, also, blocked by the 5-HT receptor blockers cyproheptadine (IC50=22.0±7 μM), Ketanserin (IC50=152±23 μM). Ketanserin (50-350 μM) inhibits the synergism by blocking the receptor in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value of Cyproheptadine is 22±7 μM and Ketanserin is 152±23 μM[2]. Ketanserin inhibits platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 240 (169-339) nM[3].In Vivo:Ketanserin is a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. Ketanserin significantly reduces BDNF protein levels in numerous brain regions (CA1 and CA3 of the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, central amygdaloid nucleus, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, dentate gyrus, shell of the nucleus accumbens and midbrain periaqueductal gray). 5-HT2A antagonist Ketanserin can significantly reduce BDNF mRNA levels in various brain regions[4].

Cell Assay
[1]
The established HEK 293 cell line stably expressing hERG channels is cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum, 400 μg/mL G418. The HEK 293 cell line stably expressing recombinant human cardiac KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel current (IKs) is maintained in DMEM containing 10% foetal bovine serum and 100 μg/mL hygromycin. Cells used for electrophysiology are seeded on a glass coverslip. The mutant hERG channels are constructed, and are transiently expressed in HEK 293 cells using 10 μL of Lipofectamine 2000 with 4 μg of hERG mutant cDNA in pCDNA3 vector[1].
Animal Administration
[4]
Rat[4]
A total of 155 specific-pathogen-free 2-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 180-220 g, are used. The rats are randomly divided into the following six groups: 5-HT1A receptor agonist (8-OH-DPAT) 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 DPAT-PS, MDL-PS, DOI-PS, Ketan-PS and PS groups are further divided into six subgroups (n=5 each) according to the time between the stress and analysis; immediately after stress, and 0.5, 1, 2, 6 and 24 hours after stress. The CON group (n=5) receive normal feed. For the Ketan-PS group, Ketanserin, dissolved in 0.9% physiological saline, is injected intraperitoneally at 5 mg/kg at 1 hour before each stress exposure.

Ketanserin and Naftopidil Enhance the Potentiating Effect of Alpha-Methyl-Serotonin on the Neurally-Induced Contraction of Human Isolated Urinary Bladder Muscle Strips.[Pubmed:28361518]
Int Neurourol J. 2017 Mar 24;21(1):20-28.
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the potential involvement of a specific subtype of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 5HT2 receptors in neurally-induced contractions of the human detrusor. METHODS: Contractile responses to electrical field stimulation (EFS) were examined in human isolated urinary bladder muscle strips. The potentiation of EFS-induced detrusor contraction was examined by adding cumulative concentrations of a 5-HT and 5-HT2 receptor agonist, alpha-methyl-serotonin (alpha-Me-5-HT) (1nM-100muM) in the presence or absence of a 5-HT2 antagonist, Ketanserin (5-HT2A>5-HT2C) or naftopidil (5-HT2B>5-HT2A) (0.3-3muM). RESULTS: 5-HT and alpha-Me-5-HT potentiated EFS-induced contraction with a maximal effect (Emax) of 37.6% and 38.6%, respectively, and with pEC50 (negative logarithm of the concentration required for a half-maximal response to an agonist) values of 8.3 and 6.8, respectively. Neither Ketanserin nor naftopidil at any concentration produced a rightward displacement of the alpha-Me-5-HT concentration response curve. Instead, the Emax of alpha-Me-5-HT increased in the presence of Ketanserin at 0.3-1muM and in the presence of naftopidil at 1muM to 51% and 56%, respectively, while the Emax in the presence of vehicle alone was 36%. The highest concentration (3muM) of either drug, however, fully reversed the enhancement. CONCLUSIONS: The potentiating effect of alpha-Me-5-HT on neurally-induced contraction of human urinary bladder muscle strips was not found to be mediated via any 5-HT2 receptor subtypes. The underlying mechanism for the enhancement of the alpha-Me-5-HT potentiating effect on detrusor contractility by Ketanserin and naftopidil remains unknown; however, our results suggest that these drugs may be useful for treating contractile dysfunction of the detrusor, as manifested in conditions such as underactive bladder.
Naltrexone but Not Ketanserin Antagonizes the Subjective, Cardiovascular, and Neuroendocrine Effects of Salvinorin-A in Humans.[Pubmed:26874330]
Int J Neuropsychopharmacol. 2016 Jul 5;19(7). pii: pyw016.
BACKGROUND: Salvinorin-A is a terpene found in the leaves of the plant Salvia divinorum. When administered to humans, salvinorin-A induces an intense but short-lasting modified state of awareness, sharing features with those induced by the classical serotonin-2A receptor agonist psychedelics. However, unlike substances such as psilocybin or mescaline, salvinorin-A shows agonist activity at the kappa-opioid receptor rather than at the serotonin-2A receptor. Here, we assessed the involvement of kappa-opioid receptor and serotonin-2A agonism in the subjective, cardiovascular, and neuroendocrine effects of salvinorin-A in humans. METHODS: We conducted a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study with 2 groups of 12 healthy volunteers with experience with psychedelic drugs. There were 4 experimental sessions. In group 1, participants received the following treatment combinations: placebo+placebo, placebo+salvinorin-A, naltrexone+placebo, and naltrexone+salvinorin-A. Naltrexone, a nonspecific opioid receptor antagonist, was administered at a dose of 50mg orally. In group 2, participants received the treatment combinations: placebo+placebo, placebo+salvinorin-A, Ketanserin+placebo, and Ketanserin+salvinorin-A. Ketanserin, a selective serotonin-2A antagonist, was administered at a dose of 40mg orally. RESULTS: Inhalation of 1mg of vaporized salvinorin-A led to maximum plasma concentrations at 1 and 2 minutes after dosing. When administered alone, salvinorin-A severely reduced external sensory perception and induced intense visual and auditory modifications, increased systolic blood pressure, and cortisol and prolactin release. These effects were effectively blocked by naltrexone, but not by Ketanserin. CONCLUSIONS: Results support kappa opioid receptor agonism as the mechanism of action underlying the subjective and physiological effects of salvinorin-A in humans and rule out the involvement of a serotonin-2A-mediated mechanism.
Effects of ketanserin on experimental colitis in mice and macrophage function.[Pubmed:26865503]
Int J Mol Med. 2016 Mar;37(3):659-68.
Ketanserin is a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin)-2A receptor (5-HT2AR) antagonist. Studies have suggested that Ketanserin exerts anti-inflammatory effects independent of the baroreflex; however, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Thus, in the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Ketanserin in colitis and the possible underlying mechanisms. The expression of 5-HT2AR was assessed in the colon tissues of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and in mice with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. The therapeutic potential of Ketanserin was investigated in the mice with colitis. In the colon tissue samples from the patients with IBD, a high expression level of 5-HT2AR was observed. Treatment with Ketanserin attenuated the progression of experimental colitis in the mice, as indicated by body weight assessment, colon length, histological scores and cytokine release. The colonic macrophages from the Ketanserin-treated mice with colitis exhibited a decreased production of inflammatory cytokines, with M2 polarization and impaired migration. The knockdown of 5-HT2AR using siRNA partly abolished the inhibitory effects of Ketanserin on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in bone marrow derived-macrophages (BMDMs), thus demonstrating that the inhibitory effects of Ketanserin on the production of inflammatory cytokines are partly dependent on 5-HT2AR. Ketanserin also inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in BMDMs. In conclusion, the findings of the present study demonstrate that Ketanserin alleviates colitis. Its anti-inflammatory effects may be due to the promotion of the anti-inflammatory function of macrophages through 5-HT2AR/NF-kappaB.
Effects of ketanserin on microcirculatory alterations in septic shock: An open-label pilot study.[Pubmed:26264259]
J Crit Care. 2015 Dec;30(6):1156-62.
INTRODUCTION: Microcirculatory alterations in sepsis are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. These alterations occur despite macrohemodynamic resuscitation. Alternative pro-microcirculatory strategies, including vasodilatory drugs, have been suggested to improve capillary blood flow. Ketanserin, a serotonin receptor antagonist, is an attractive candidate because of its vasodilatory, antithrombotic, and anti-inflammatory effects. METHODS: This is an open-label pilot study on the effect of Ketanserin administration on microcirculatory alterations in septic shock, defined as microvascular flow index (MFI)2.9, the primary end point, was reached. RESULTS: Ten patients (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV scores of 115 [100-136]) were included. Baseline MFI was 1.71 (1.31-2.32) and was significantly increasing to 2.96 (2.54-3.00; P=.021) during the Ketanserin infusion. The total Ketanserin dose was 0.09 (0.08-0.13) mg/kg per patient in 60 (30-60) minutes. In 3 patients (30%), the Ketanserin infusion was discontinued due to refractory hypotension. CONCLUSION: An improvement in microcirculatory perfusion was observed during Ketanserin administration in patients with septic shock after macrohemodynamic resuscitation. This finding needs further exploration in a placebo-controlled setting.
