| Scientific Background | Ketanserin tartrate is a selective antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, with additional affinity for the 5-HT1Dα receptor. While primarily studied for its cardiovascular effects, including treatment of hypertension post-coronary artery surgery, Ketanserin has gained attention in neuroscience for its ability to modulate serotonergic signaling. It has been used to investigate the cognitive and perceptual effects of 5-HT2A receptor activation, including disruption of hallucinogenic responses. Its role in modulating serotonin pathways makes it a valuable tool in neuropsychiatric and neuropharmacological research. |
