Description
A 5-HT4 antagonist; binds to 5-HT4 receptors with an IC50 value of 0.4 nM in COS-7 cells expressing the human recombinant receptor and in guinea pig striatal membranes (IC50 = 0.5 nM); selective for 5-HT4 receptors over 5-HT1 receptors (Kis = >10 µM in dog saphenous vein and porcine vena cava), as well as 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors (Kis = >10 and 1 μM in rabbit thoracic aorta and rat cerebral cortex, respectively); selective for 5-HT4 over adenosine, adrenergic, dopamine, GABA, muscarinic, nicotinic, histamine, and NMDA receptors (Kis = >10 μM for all); inhibits 5-HT-induced relaxation in carbachol-precontracted rat thoracic esophagus (pA2 = 9.3); inhibits 5-methoxytryptamine-induced tachycardia in anaesthetized piglets
