Tegaserod
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Tegaserod is an orally active serotonin receptor 4 (HTR4; 5-HT4R) agonist and a 5-HT2B receptor antagonist. Tegaserod has pKis of 7.5, 8.4 and 7.0 for human recombinant 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors, respectively. Tegaserod causes tumor cell apoptosis, blunts PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and decreases S6 phosphorylation. Tegaserod has anti-tumor activity and has the potential for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) research.

Tegaserod (3-5 μM; 24-72 h) causes a significant time and dose-dependent increase in apoptosis[1].
Tegaserod (3-5 μM; 8-18 h) decreases phosphorylation of the kinase directly upstream of S6, p70 S6 at Thr421/Ser424[1].
Tegaserod (0.1-3 μM; 24h) inhibits 5-HT-mediated contraction of the rat isolated stomach fundus potently (pA2=8.3), consistent with 5-HT2B receptor antagonist activity[3].

Tegaserod (0.1-2.0 mg/kg; IP 15 min prior to gastric loading) significantly accelerates the gastric emptying rate of glucose in db/db mice, reducing the fraction of the meal remaining in the stomach at 30 min by 80% with 0.1mg/kg[2].

Animal Model:C57BL/6 J mice were subcutaneously injected with B16F10 cells[1]
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg
-
Administration:Administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) daily for five consecutive days
-
Result:Treatment significantly decreased tumor growth and resulted in only slight decreases in weight following treatment.

Animal Model:Female C57BLKS/J db/db mice[2]
-
Dosage:0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/kg
-
Administration:IP 15 min prior to gastric loading
-
Result:Produced a dramatic decrease in the fraction of the meal remaining in the stomach for doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg (0.1 mg/kg).
Accelerated gastric emptying, with a reduction of nearly 80% in the fraction remaining at 30 min (P < 0.0001) (0.1 mg/kg).
Induced a significant decrease in the gastric emptying rate as the amount of the meal remaining at 30 min was significantly greater (2.0 mg/kg).
Resulted in inhibition of tegaserod-induced increased gastric emptying (0.1 mg/kg).
