Biological Activity

Ketanserin is a specific 5-HT2A serotonin receptor antagonist (Ki = that also exhibits binding affinity for histamine H1 receptors (Ki = and alpha-1 adrenergic receptors (Ki ~. By blocking serotonin-mediated receptor signaling, it inhibits serotonin-induced platelet aggregation and vascular smooth muscle contraction, contributing to downstream vasodilation and reduced vascular resistance.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
