Ritanserin Structural

What is Ritanserin?

Description

Ritanserin, also known by its developmental code name R-55667, is a serotonin antagonist medication described as an anxiolytic, antidepressant, antiparkinsonian agent, and antihypertensive agent. It was never marketed for medical use due to safety problems but has been used in scientific research to study the serotonin system.

The Uses of Ritanserin

Ritanserin and other 5HT2A/2C receptor antagonists have shown in clinical trial to promote slow-wave sleep in chronic primary insomnia or generalized anxiety disorder (Mayer, 2003).

The Uses of Ritanserin

Ritanserin has been used in behavioral testing and as a serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2A)-receptor antagonist.

What are the applications of Application

Ritanserin is potent and long-acting 5-HT2 receptor antagonist

Definition

ChEBI: Ritanserin is a thiazolopyrimidine that is 5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one which is substituted at position 7 by a methyl group and at position 6 by a 2-{4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methylidene]piperidin-1-yl}ethyl group. A potent and long-acting seratonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) antagonist of the subtype 5-HT2 (Ki = 0.39 nM), it is used in the treatment of a variety of disorders including anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. It has little sedative action. It has a role as a dopaminergic antagonist, a serotonergic antagonist, an antipsychotic agent, an anxiolytic drug, an antidepressant and an EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor. It is an organofluorine compound, a member of piperidines and a thiazolopyrimidine.
