Tropanyl-3,5-dimethylbenzoate is a synthetic, potent and selective antagonist of the 5-HT3 receptor. Tropanyl-3,5-dimethylbenzoate has an effective concentration of 1 nM – 1 μM. Interestingly, in rat mucosa and submucosa preparations Tropanyl causes an increase of 5-HT induced Δ/sc (change in short circuit current) and causes a decline of Δ/sc in rat intact colon suggesting a double role for 5-HT3 receptors in this tissue.
产品描述
An Antagonist of 5-HT3 Receptors
产品形式
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter synthesized from the amino acid Tryptophan by the enzyme tryptophan-decarboxylase. The 5-HT3 channel is a ligand gated ion channel receptor of the cys-loop channel family. It is a pentamer with five subunits surrounding a central channel.
