Description
Tegaserod Maleate(HTF-919) is a hydrogen maleate salt form of tegaserod, which is a partial agonist and binds with high affinity to 5-HT4 receptors. It has limited affinity for 5-HT1 receptors and no appreciable affinity for other 5-HT receptors, muscarinic, adrenergic, dopaminergic or opiate receptors.
In guinea-pig and rat colon, luminal application of tegaserod activates 5-HT4 receptors on intrinsic primary sensory neurons that release calcitonin gene-related peptide which in turn activates cholinergic interneurons stimulating the peristaltic reflex. In isolated segments of guinea-pig colon, intralumnal tegaserod increased the velocity of propulsion of artificial faecal pellets through the stimulation of the same receptor. In rat distal colon, intraluminal tegaserod stimulated 5-HT4 4 receptors on colonocytes to secrete chloride and water through an adenylyl cyclase-dependent pathway.
