Ketanserin, sold under the brand name Sufrexal, is an antihypertensive agent which is used to treat arterial hypertension and vasospastic disorders. [5] [6] [3] It is also used in scientific research as an antiserotonergic agent in the study of the serotonin system; specifically, the 5-HT2 receptor family. [7] The drug is taken by mouth. [6] [3]

Contents

Side effects of ketanserin include dizziness, tiredness, edema, dry mouth, weight gain, and QT interval prolongation. [6] Ketanserin acts as a selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A, α1-adrenergic, and histamine H1 receptors. [6] [8] [9] It also shows lower affinity for various other targets. [9]

Ketanserin was discovered at Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1980. [10] [11] It was the first serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist to be discovered that showed selectivity over other serotonin receptors. [9] The drug is not available in the United States [1] and is mostly no longer marketed throughout the rest of the world. [12] [13]

Uses

Medical uses

Ketanserin is classified as an antihypertensive by the World Health Organization [14] and the National Institute of Health. [15]

It has been used to reverse pulmonary hypertension caused by protamine (which in turn was administered to reverse the effects of heparin overdose). [16]

The reduction in hypertension is not associated with reflex tachycardia. [17]

It has been used in cardiac surgery. [18]

A 2000 Cochrane Review found that, compared to placebo, ketanserin did not provide significant relief for people suffering from Raynaud's phenomenon attacks in the setting of progressive systemic sclerosis (an autoimmune disorder). While the frequency of the attacks was unaffected by ketanserin, there was a reduction in the duration of the individual attacks. However, due to the significant adverse effect burden, the authors concluded that ketanserin's utility for this indication is likely unbeneficial. [19]

Ketanserin is a selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist that was initially developed as an anti-hypertensive medicine. However, now the drug is available as a topical gel formulation for treating wounds, burns, ulcers, and anal fissures. Its action is through the acceleration of epithelialization.

Research uses

With tritium (3H) radioactively labeled ketanserin is used as a radioligand for serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, e.g. in receptor binding assays and autoradiography. [20] This radio-labeling has enabled the study of serotonin 5-HT2A receptor distribution in the human brain. [21]

An autoradiography study of the human cerebellum has found an increasing binding of 3H-ketanserin with age (from below 50 femtomol per milligram tissue at around 30 years of age to over 100 above 75 years). [22] The same research team found no significant correlation with age in their homogenate binding study.

Ketanserin has also been used with carbon (11C) radioactively labeled NNC112 in order to image cortical D1 receptors without contamination by 5-HT2 receptors. [23]

Increasing research into the use of psychedelics as antidepressants has seen ketanserin used to both block the hallucinogenic experience, and to disentangle the specific cognitive effects of 5-HT2A activation. [24] Ketanserin has been found to block the psychedelic effects of psilocybin, [25] lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), [26] [27] mescaline, [28] and ayahuasca (dimethyltryptamine) [29] in clinical studies. [24] [30]

Pharmacodynamics

Ketanserin is a high-affinity non-selective antagonist of 5-HT2 receptors in rodents, [31] [35] [33] In addition to the 5-HT2 receptors, ketanserin is also a high affinity antagonist for the H1 receptor. [36] It has also been found to block the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2). [37] [38]

Occupancy of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor by ketanserin in humans has been studied. [39]

Pharmacokinetics

The bioavailability of ketanserin is 50%. [1] [2] The plasma protein binding of ketanserin is 95.0% and it is mainly bound to albumin. [2] The elimination half-life of ketanserin is 10 to 29 hours. [4] [1]

5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine), also known as O-methylbufotenin or mebufotenin, is a naturally occurring psychedelic of the tryptamine family. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and is also secreted by the glands of at least one toad species, the Colorado River toad. It may occur naturally in humans as well. Like its close relatives dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America. Slang terms include Five-methoxy, the power, bufo, and toad venom.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Empathogen</span> Class of psychoactive drugs that produce empathic experiences

Empathogens or entactogens are a class of psychoactive drugs that induce the production of experiences of emotional communion, oneness, relatedness, emotional openness—that is, empathy or sympathy—as particularly observed and reported for experiences with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). This class of drug is distinguished from the classes of hallucinogen or psychedelic, and amphetamine or stimulants. Major members of this class include MDMA, MDA, MDEA, MDOH, MBDB, 5-APB, 5-MAPB, 6-APB, 6-MAPB, methylone, mephedrone, GHB, αMT, and αET, MDAI among others. Most entactogens are phenethylamines and amphetamines, although several, such as αMT and αET, are tryptamines. When referring to MDMA and its counterparts, the term MDxx is often used. Entactogens are sometimes incorrectly referred to as hallucinogens or stimulants, although many entactogens such as ecstasy exhibit psychedelic or stimulant properties as well.

5-Methoxytryptamine, also known as serotonin methyl ether or O-methylserotonin and as mexamine, is a tryptamine derivative closely related to the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin. It has been shown to occur naturally in the body in low levels, especially in the pineal gland. It is formed via O-methylation of serotonin or N-deacetylation of melatonin.

5-HT<sub>2B</sub> receptor Mammalian protein found in Homo sapiens

5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (5-HT2B) also known as serotonin receptor 2B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR2B gene. 5-HT2B is a member of the 5-HT2 receptor family that binds the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). Like all 5-HT2 receptors, the 5-HT2B receptor is Gq/G11-protein coupled, leading to downstream activation of phospholipase C.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sarpogrelate</span> Chemical compound

Sarpogrelate is a drug which acts as an antagonist at the serotonin 5-HT2A5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors. However, its affinities for the human 5-HT2C and 5-HT2B receptors are about one and two orders of magnitude lower than for the human 5-HT2A receptor, respectively. The drug blocks serotonin-induced platelet aggregation, and has potential applications in the treatment of many diseases including diabetes mellitus, Buerger's disease, Raynaud's disease, coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, and atherosclerosis.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Xylamidine</span> Chemical compound

Xylamidine is a drug which acts as an antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, and to a lesser extent of the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor. The drug does not cross the blood–brain barrier and hence is peripherally selective, which makes it useful for blocking peripheral serotonergic responses like cardiovascular and gastrointestinal effects, without producing the central effects of 5-HT2A receptor blockade such as sedation, or interfering with the central actions of 5-HT2A receptor agonists.

α-Methylserotonin Chemical compound

α-Methylserotonin (αMS), also known as α-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (α-methyl-5-HT) or 5-hydroxy-α-methyltryptamine (5-HO-αMT), is a tryptamine derivative closely related to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). It acts as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and has been used extensively in scientific research to study the function of the serotonin system.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pirenperone</span> Chemical compound

Pirenperone (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USANTooltip United States Adopted Name, BANTooltip British Approved Name; developmental code names R-47456, R-50656) is a serotonin receptor antagonist described as an antipsychotic and tranquilizer which was never marketed. It is a relatively selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors and has been used in scientific research to study the serotonin system. In the 1980s, the drug was found to block the effects of the lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in animals, and, along with ketanserin, led to the elucidation of the 5-HT2A receptor as the biological mediator of the effects of serotonergic psychedelics.

Hyperlocomotion, also known as locomotor hyperactivity, hyperactivity, or increased locomotor activity, is an effect of certain drugs in animals in which locomotor activity (locomotion) is increased. It is induced by certain drugs like psychostimulants and NMDA receptor antagonists and is reversed by certain other drugs like antipsychotics and certain antidepressants. Stimulation of locomotor activity is thought to be mediated by increased signaling in the nucleus accumbens.

A trip killer, or hallucinogen antidote, is a drug that aborts or reduces the effects of a hallucinogenic drug experience. As there are different types of hallucinogens that work in different ways, there are different types of trip killers. They can completely block or reduce the effects of hallucinogens or they can simply provide anxiety relief and sedation. Examples of trip killers, in the case of serotonergic psychedelics, include serotonin receptor antagonists, like antipsychotics and certain antidepressants, and benzodiazepines. Trip killers are sometimes used by recreational psychedelic users as a form of harm reduction to manage so-called bad trips, for instance difficult experiences with prominent anxiety. They can also be used clinically to manage effects of hallucinogens, like anxiety and psychomotor agitation, for instance in the emergency department.

PMID   35381208. Since its discovery by Janssen Pharmaceuticals in 1981 (35), the quinazoline derivative ketanserin is among the most widely used tools for probing 5-HT2AR function in preclinical research (26–28, 36), and the sole antagonist used to delineate the 5-HT2AR-dependent effects of serotonergic psychedelics in humans (37–41). Although ketanserin was the first 5-HT2AR antagonist discovered that lacks high affinity for other serotonin and dopamine receptors, it is less appreciated that it has high affinity at several aminergic receptors, including α1A-, α1B-, α1D-adrenergic, and histamine H1 receptors (35, 42–44), as well as, moderate affinity at α2B-adrenergic and 5-HT2C receptors (Table 1). These off-target activities limit the utility of ketanserin as a specific tool for assessing 5-HT2AR activity.
