Alosetron

• Description :

  Alosetron (GR 68755) is a potent and highly selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Alosetron is used for the research of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) . Alosetron blocks the fast 5HT3-mediated depolarisation of guinea-pig myenteric and submucosal neurons, with IC50 at ~55 nM. Alosetron attenuates the visceral nociceptive effect of rectal distension in conscious or anaesthetised dogs. Anti-inflammatory effects[1][2].
