Overview

Ketanserin is a serotonin receptor antagonist. It has the highest affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, but also binds less potently to the 5-HT2C, 5-HT2B, 5-HT1D, alpha-adrenergic, and dopamine receptors. With tritium radioactively labeled ketanserin is used as a radioligand for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, e.g. in receptor binding assays.

Ketanserin was discovered at Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1980.

It is classified as an antihypertensive by the World Health Organization[1] and the National Institute of Health.[2]
