MDL-72222 is a potent and highly selective antagonist at certain excitatory 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors on mammalian peripheral neurons. MDL-72222 is most often used to study the role of 5-HT3. Studies suggest the blockade of 5-HT3 receptors with MDL 72222 may ameliorate beta-amyloid protein-induced neurotoxicity by interfering with the increase of Ca2+, and then by inhibiting glutamate release, generation of reactive oxygen species and caspase-3 activity. Also used in the study of dopamine elevation in rats due to cocaine and amphetamine consumption.
