| In vitro | Tropisetron is a high affinity ligand for both th α7 nAChR and 5HT3R. Tropisetron has very low affinity for the other nicotinic subtypes tested. [1] Tropisetron is a potent and selective serotonin 3 (5-hydroxytryptamine3; 5-HT3) receptor antagonist with antiemetic properties, probably mediated via antagonism of receptors both at peripheral sites and in the central nervous system. [2] Tropisetron is a potent inhibitor of early and late events in TCR-mediated T cell activation. Tropisetron specifically inhibits both IL-2 gene transcription and IL-2 synthesis in stimulated T cells. Ttropisetron inhibits both the binding to DNA and the transcriptional activity of NFAT and AP-1. Tropisetron is a potent inhibitor of PMA plus ionomycin-induced NF-(kappa)B activation but in contrast TNF(alpha)-mediated NF-(kappa)B activation is not affected by this antagonist. [3] Tropisetron acts on α7 nAChRs on isolated pig retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) to provide neuroprotection against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. Tropisetron acts to decrease p38MAP kinase levels to inhibit apoptosis. Tropisetron is able to protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from a glutamate assault in a dose-dependent manner when applied to cultures 1 hour prior to glutamate application. [4] | |
| In vivo | Tropisetron (1 mg/kg i.p.) significantly improves the deficient inhibitory processing of the P20-N40 auditory evoked potential in DBA/2 mice. [5] |
