Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

In vitro

Ketanserin causes a dose-dependent inhibition on the contractile responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine of isolated rat caudal artery, canine basilar, carotid, coronary and gastrosplenic arteries, canine gastrosplenic veins and canine saphenous veins. This compound inhibits the contractions of rat caudal arteries and canine saphenous veins caused by postjunctional alpha adrenergic activation. It depresses and in certain experiments reverses the vasoconstrictor response to 5-hydroxytryptamine in the perfused guinea-pig stomach. [1] This chemical is found to attenuate the excitatory responses produced by norepinephrine, an alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated response, in the lateral geniculate nucleus. It potentiates rather than attenuates, the inhibitory effect of 5-HT in the lateral geniculate nucleus. [2] This compound significantly prolongs action potential duration (APD) at 50% repolarization by 218% and APD at 90% repolarization by 256% with no significant effect on other action potential parameters in rat ventricular myocytes. It results in a concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of charge area of Ito evaluated by integration with an EC50 of 8.3 μM. This chemical also blocks Ito and sustained current (ISus) in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 of 11.2 μM and has no significant effect on both the inward rectifier potassium current and the L-type calcium current. [3]

In vivo

Ketanserin produces dose-dependent antinociception in the hot-plate and acetic acid-induced writhing tests with ED50 values (95% confidence limit) of 1.51 and 0.62 mg/kg, respectively, but this compound is without any significant effect on the tail-flick test. [4]
