Description

Ketanserin (R41468) tartrate is a selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonist. Ketanserin tartrate also blocks hERG current (IhERG) in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=0.11 μM).

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.11 μM (hERG current)[1]
IC50: 152±23 μM (5-HT receptor)[2]

In Vitro

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].

In Vivo

Ketanserin tartrate 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 tartrate can significantly reduce BDNF mRNA levels in various brain regions[4].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.81 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.81 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
