Cat. No.: HY-70050A Purity: 96.26%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Alosetron (GR 68755) is a potent and highly selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Alosetron is used for the research of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Alosetron blocks the fast 5HT3-mediated depolarisation of guinea-pig myenteric and submucosal neurons, with IC50 at ~55 nM. Alosetron attenuates the visceral nociceptive effect of rectal distension in conscious or anaesthetised dogs. Anti-inflammatory effects.

In Vivo

Dexamethasone and Alosetron-treated (1 mg/kg; ip; daily for 6 days) rats exhibits a significant decrease in the diarrhea index, in comparison with TNBS-control group, especially after the initial 2 days of treatment following the induction of colitis[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
