Tropisetron-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of tropisetron (Item No. 21240) by GC- or LC-MS. Tropisetron is an antagonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT3 (Ki = 0.8 nM for the mouse receptor).1 It is selective for 5-HT3 over the 5-HT4 receptor subtype (Ki = 156 nM for the porcine receptor). Tropisetron is also an antagonist of the α9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR; IC50 = 166 nM for the rat receptor) and a partial agonist of the α7 nAChR (Ki = 6.9 nM for the rat receptor).2,3 It enhances glycine-induced potentiation of homomeric α1 but not homomeric α2 glycine receptors when used at a concentration of 10 µM.4 Tropisetron (0.1 nM) blocks 5-HT-induced depolarizations in isolated rabbit nodose ganglia.5 It exhibits anti-emetic effects in a ferret model of emesis induced by cisplatin (Item No. 13119) when administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg.6 Formulations containing tropisetron have been used in the treatment of nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy.
