Pizotifen
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Pizotifen (Pizotyline) is a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist. Pizotifen inhibits the Wnt/β-catenin-EMT signaling pathway and induces mitochondria-mediated Apoptosis. Pizotifen causes transient ERK1/2 phosphorylation and restores ATP. Pizotifen blocks Serotonin (HY-B1473A)-mediated platelet activation, inhibits Serotonin-enhanced ADP-induced platelet aggregation, and prolongs carotid artery occlusion and tail bleeding time. Pizotifen exhibits anticancer activity against gastric cancer and colon cancer. Pizotifen exerts neuroprotective effects in the striatum of R6/2 mice. Pizotifen can be used for research on gastric cancer, colon cancer, Huntington's disease, metastasis, and thromboembolic diseases.
