Sarpogrelate(MCI-9042) hydrochloride, a selective 5-HT2 antagonist, has been widely used as an anti-platelet agent for the treatment of PAD.
Target: 5-HT2 Recepter
Sarpogrelate is a drug which acts as an antagonist at the 5HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors. Sarpogrelate was shown to have the same affinity as ritanserin for 5-HT2A receptors, with a Ki value of 8.39 nM. Sarpogrelate lacked prominent 5-HT1-like, 5-HT3, beta, H1, H2 and M3 antagonist activity and weakly blocked alpha 1-adrenoceptors (pKB = 6.30). (S)-M-1 showed weak affinity for 5-HT1-like receptors (pKB = 6.30), alpha 1- (pKB = 6.80) and beta- (pKB = 6.54) adrenoceptors, while (R)-M-1 was a weak antagonist at histamine H1 receptors (pKB = 6.49) . After 12 weeks of sarpogrelate administration, FBF and LBF responses during RH showed significant increases from 13.2 +/- 1.7 to 18.1 +/- 2.2 mL/min per 100 mL tissue (P < 0.01) and from 8.2 +/- 0.9 to 14.2 +/- 2.1 mL/min per 100 mL tissue (P < 0.05), respectively. Sarpogrelate-induced augmentation of FBF and LBF responses to RH was maintained at 24 weeks. Long-term oral administration of sarpogrelate improves vascular function in patients with PAD.
