    Product Description

    LY272015 is an antagonist of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtype 5-HT2B.1 It binds to 5-HT2B receptors in isolated rat fundus (Kb = 0.177 nM). LY272015 is selective for 5-HT2B receptors over 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (Kis = 3.54 and 2.1 nM, respectively), as well as α1-adrenergic receptors.1,2 It reduces 5-HT-induced migration of isolated mouse aortic smooth muscle cells when used at a concentration of 100 nM.3 LY272015 (1 and 3 mg/kg) decreases mean arterial pressure in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats.4

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
