Biological Activity
|
5-HT2 Receptor |
hERG current 0.11 μM (IC50) |
Ketanserin tartrate 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 tartrate (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 tartrate inhibits platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 240 (169-339) nM[3].

Protocol
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].

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.
