Cisapride

Cisapride(R 51619) is a nonselective 5-HT4 receptor agonist, it is also a potent hERG potassium channel inhibitor.IC50 Value: 0.14 μM(EC50 for 5-HT4 receptor) [1]; 9.8 μM (Kv4.3) [2]Target: 5-HT4 Receptorin vitro: Cisapride showed higher inhibitory effects on a hERG current, as indicated by its IC50 of 9.4 × 10-9 M [1]. cisapride on cloned Kv4.3 channels stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells were investigated using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Cisapride inhibited Kv4.3
4-amino-5-chloro-N-[1-[3-(4-fluorophenoxy)propyl]-3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl]-2-methoxybenzamide is a member of benzamides.|The serotonin type 4 (5-HT4) receptor agonists are potent prokinetic agents that act on serotonin receptors in the intestine and promote intestinal peristalsis, increase gastric emptying and decrease esophageal reflux. Two 5-HT4 receptor agonists have been developed and were approved for use in the United States, but both were found to have significant serious adverse effects and have been withdrawn (cisapride) or placed under restricted use (tegaserod). Both cisapride and tegaserod have been associated with a low rate of transient serum enzyme elevations during therapy, but neither has been implicated convincing in cases of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.|A substituted benzamide used for its prokinetic properties. It is used in the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia, and other disorders associated with impaired gastrointestinal motility.
