Ketanserin ( Vulketan Gel) inhibits rat and human 5-HT2C with Ki of 50 and100 nM, respectively and has higher affinity binding for alpha-1 adrenergic (Ki = ~ 40 nM) and Histamine H1 (Ki = 2 nM). Ketanserin (Vulketan Gel) can also be used to discriminate between 5-HT1D and 5-HT1B receptor subtypes. Ketanserin (Vulketan Gel) has antihypertensive properties.
