Application

Altanserin hydrochloride hydrate has been used in the pretreatment of rat brain samples and as a non-radioactive control in the calibration curve preparation for quantifying [18F]altanserin in high-performance liquid chromatography.
Altanserin hydrochloride hydrate is a specific 5-HT2/serotonergic antagonist and has been used in a study to assess serotonin release capacity in the human brain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The radioligand of altanserin, [18F]altanserin is useful as a positron emission tomography (PET)-radioligand for the visualization and quantification of serotonin2A (5-HT2A) receptors.
Altanserin hydrochloride hydrate is a specific 5-HT2/serotonergic antagonist.

The 5-hydroxytryptamine type 2a (5-HT(2A)) selective radiotracer [(18)F]altanserin has been subjected to a quantitative micro-positron emission tomography study in Lister Hooded rats. Metabolite-corrected plasma input modeling was compared with reference tissue modeling using the cerebellum as reference tissue. [(18)F]altanserin showed

Currently, [18F] altanserin is the most frequently used PET-radioligand for serotonin2A (5-HT2A) receptor imaging in the human brain but has never been validated in dogs. In vivo imaging of this receptor in the canine brain could improve diagnosis and therapy

Behavioral and cellular studies indicate that serotonin interacting with the 5-HT2a receptor (5-HT2aR) is involved in cognitive processes supporting working memory (WM). However, 5-HT receptor neuroimaging studies directly relating WM-induced neuronal activations to concomitant changes in the availability of 5-HT
