RS 127445 is an orally bioavailable and potent antagonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT
2B (K
i = 0.32 nM).
1 It is selective for 5-HT
2B over other 5-HT receptor subtypes (K
i = >3 μM for 5-HT
1A, 5-HT
1B, 5-HT
2A, 5-HT

5, and 5-HT
6). RS 127445 reduces contraction of rat isolated stomach fundus (pA
2 = 9.5) and lowers intracellular increases in calcium (IC
50 = 0.04 nM) induced by 5-HT (Item No.
14332). It also blocks (±)-α-methyl-5-HT-induced relaxation of isolated rat jugular veins (pA
2 = 9.95). RS 127445 (1-30 mg/kg) reduces peristaltic frequency and fecal output in mice in a dose-dependent manner.
2 Systemic administration of RS 127445 (0.16 mg/kg) reduces basal, but not cocaine-induced, dopamine outflow in the nucleus accumbens of rats and decreases hyperlocomotion induced by cocaine (Item Nos.
