Ketanserin (

Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1980.[5][6] It is not available in the United States.[1]

Uses

Medical uses

Ketanserin is classified as an

It has been used to reverse pulmonary hypertension caused by protamine (which in turn was administered to reverse the effects of heparin overdose).[9]

The reduction in hypertension is not associated with reflex tachycardia.[10]

It has been used in cardiac surgery.[11]

A 2000

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.[12]

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

autoradiography.[13] This radio-labeling has enabled the study of serotonin 5-HT2A receptor distribution in the human brain.[14]

An autoradiography study of the human

femtomol per milligram tissue at around 30 years of age to over 100 above 75 years).[15] The same research team found no significant correlation with age in their homogenate
binding study.

Ketanserin has also been used with

radioactively labeled NNC112 in order to image cortical D1 receptors without contamination by 5-HT2 receptors.[16]

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.[17]

Pharmacodynamics

Ketanserin is a high-affinity non-selective

H1 receptor.[23] It has also been found to block the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2).[24][25]

Pharmacokinetics

The

elimination half-life of ketanserin is 10 to 29 hours.[3][1]

Synthesis

Thieme Patents:[26][27] Sino:[28] Revised:[29] Analogues[30]

Either 3-(2-Chloroethyl)quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione [5081-87-8] (1a), or alternatively 2,3-dihydro-[1,3]oxazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-5-one [52727-44-3] (1b) can be used as starting material. Attachment of the sidechain to 4-(4-Fluorobenzoyl)piperidine [56346-57-7] (2) completes synthesis synthesis of Ketanserin (3).
