biological activity | Metergoline is a serotonin (5-HT) receptor and dopamine receptor antagonist, which, the pKi values for the effects of 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C were 8.64, 8.75 and 8.75, respectively. Metergoline is a high affinity ligand for the h5-HT7 receptor with a Ki of 16 nM. Metergoline is also a reversible inhibitor of neuronal Na channels. Metergoline is commonly used to study seasonal affective disorder, Prolactin regulation. |
