Molecular Weight 395.43 CAS No. 74050-98-9
Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 3 mg/mL (7.58 mM)
Water Insoluble
Ethanol Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
4%DMSO 40%PEG300 4%Tween80 52%ddH2O
1.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 40 μL 25 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 40 μL Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify it; then continue to add 520 μL ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Ketanserin (R41468, Ketanserinum) is a specific 5-HT2A serotonin receptor antagonist with Ki of 2.5 nM for rat and human 5-HT2A, used as an antihypertensive drug.
Targets
5-HT2A [7] 5-HT2C (Rat) [7] 5-HT2C (Human) [7]
2.5 nM(Ki) 50 nM(Ki) 100 nM(Ki)
In vitro

Ketanserin causes 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 and canine saphenous veins. Ketanserin inhibits the contractions of rat caudal arteries and canine saphenous veins caused by postjunctional alpha adrenergic activation. Ketanserin depresses and in certain experiments reverses the vasoconstrictor response to 5-hydroxytryptamine in the perfused guinea-pig stomach. [1] Ketanserin is found to attenuate the excitatory responses produced by norepinephrine, an alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated response, in the lateral geniculate nucleus. Ketanserin potentiates rather than attenuates, the inhibitory effect of 5-HT in the lateral geniculate nucleus. [2] Ketanserin significantly prolongs action potential duration (APD) at 50% repolarization by 218% and APD at 90% repolarization by 256% with no significant effect on other action potential parameters in rat ventricular myocytes. Ketanserin results in a concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of charge area of Ito evaluated by integration with an EC50 of 8.3 μM. Ketanserin also blocks Ito and sustained current (ISus) in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 of 11.2 μM and has no significant effect on both the inward rectifier potassium current and the L-type calcium current. [3]
In vivo

Ketanserin produces 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, but is without any significant effect on the tail-flick test. [4]
