Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ketanserin is a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist and potential α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist used to treat hypertension. It decreases blood pressure, improves left ventricular remodeling, increases capillary density in myocardial tissue, and may suppress TRPV1 channel-evoked thermal hyperalgesia.

Biological target:
Ketanserin is a selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonist that also blocks hERG current (IhERG) in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=0.11 μM).
In vitro activity:
Cells were treated with 5-HT (1 µM 5-HT hydrochloride was added to the cell culture medium) or with both 5-HT and ketanserin (5-HT+K; 0.1 μM ketanserin was added 30 minutes before the addition of 5-HT) for 72 hours. In addition to the enhanced expression of α-SMA mRNA in PFs (portal fibroblast), the phosphorylation of smad2/3 and the expression of collagen I, collagen III, and α-SMA protein increased after 72 hours of culture. Ketanserin significantly decreased the phosphorylation of smad2 and smad3 by 52% and 58%, respectively, and reduced the expression of collagen I and collagen III protein by 63% and 56%, respectively; this was concurrent with 63% and 76% decreases in α-SMA mRNA and protein expression. The transdifferentiation of PFs into MFs was also suppressed because α-SMA–positive cells were notably reduced 72 hours after ketanserin administration. The results indicated that ketanserin inhibited 5-HT–activated TGF-β1–smad2/3 signaling in vitro and thereby depressed the MF conversion of PFs.

In vivo activity:
To investigate whether ketanserin reduces susceptibility to colitis, colitis was induced in mice using DSS. The mice with DSS-induced colitis exhibited a continuous decrease in body weight from day 4 to day 7 and shortened colon lengths. By contrast, the administration of ketanserin during the induction of colitis significantly prevented the decrease in body weight and colon shortening. A histological examination of the colons of the mice with DSS-induced colitis revealed severe inflammation with ulcerative lesions, loss of crypts and the infiltration of inflammatory cells, whereas treatment with ketanserin alleviated these histological changes and damage to the colon, characterized by a decrease in the loss of architecture, fewer ulcerative lesions, and a decrease in inflammatory cell infiltration into the inflamed mucosa. The data therefore suggest that ketanserin exerts a potent therapeutic effect, ameliorating DSS-induced colitis.
