Description
Itasetron is a potent 5HT-3 receptor antagonist. Itasetron hydrochloride is a new 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) antagonist with potent antiemetic properties. It is more potent than ondansetron in animal models and in early clinical studies it demonstrates a long half-life and does not undergo hepatic biotransformation before elimination. itasetron hydrochloride is effective in the dose range 35-280 microg/kg in preventing cisplatin-induced emesis.
