Description
A 5-HT2B receptor antagonist; binds to 5-HT2B receptors in isolated rat fundus (Kb = 0.177 nM); selective for 5-HT2B receptors over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Kis = 3.54 and 2.1 nM, respectively), as well as α1-adrenergic receptors; reduces 5-HT-induced migration of isolated mouse aortic smooth muscle cells at 100 nM; decreases mean arterial pressure in hypertensive DOCA-SALT rats at 1 and 3 mg/kg
