Abstract

Parthenolide displaces [3H]ketanserin from 5HT(2A) receptors from rat and rabbit brain and cloned 5HT(2A) receptors. K(i)'s are in the 100-250 μM range. These results suggest that parthenolide may be a low-affinity antagonist at 5HT receptors; it is unlikely that the entire mechanism of action can be explained by its modest 5HT(2A) receptor affinity.
