Tegaserod (maleate) is a potent agonist of the serotonin 4 receptor (5-HT4, Ki = 3.9-31 nM).{24432,24434} As 5-HT4 receptors are associated with cholinergic nerves lining the colon, tegaserod (maleate) stimulates colonic motility and transit in vivo, in both healthy and diseased gastrointestinal tracts.{24430,24429} However, it lacks selectivity, since it also acts as an antagonist for the 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 32, 3.9, and 100 nM, respectively).{24435,24431,24429} It is a weak agonist of 5-HT3 (Ki ≤ 10 μM).{24433}
