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.[1][2][3] It was never marketed for medical use due to safety problems but has been used in scientific research to study the serotonin system.[2][4]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Ritanserin acts as a selective 5-HT2A (Ki = 0.45 nM) and 5-HT2C receptor (Ki = 0.71 nM) antagonist.[5][6] It has relatively low affinity for the H1, D2, α1-adrenergic, and α2-adrenergic receptors (39-, 77-, 107-, and 166-fold lower relative to 5-HT2A, respectively).[6] The affinity of ritanserin for the 5-HT1A receptor is less than 1 μM.[6] In addition to its affinity for the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, ritanserin also binds to and antagonizes the 5-HT1D, 5-HT2B, 5-HT5A, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors.[7]

History

The atypical antipsychotic risperidone was developed from ritanserin.[8]

Society and culture

Names

Ritanserin is the generic name of the drug and its INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USANTooltip United States Adopted Name, and BANTooltip British Approved Name.[2][1] It is also known by its developmental code name R-55667.[1]

Availability

Ritanserin was never approved or marketed for medical use.[9][10][4]

Research

Ritanserin was tested in clinical trials for depression,[3] anxiety, schizophrenia,[5] and migraine.[11] It was also found to improve sleep in human volunteers.[4]
