The effects of the 5 HT2 antagonist ketanserin in adult atopic asthma.

Abstract

We have studied eight adult atopic asthmatic patients in a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial in order to examine the effects of the 5 HT2 antagonist ketanserin on airways function (FEV1, FVC, V50(chi), and V25(pi]. Ketanserin did not significantly change resting bronchomotor tone. Treadmill exercise caused a similar maximal percentage fall in FEV1 after both drug [16.8 (3.7)%] and placebo [19.2 (4.2)%]; ketanserin did not significantly attenuate bronchoconstriction, measured over a 20-min period after exercise. These results suggest that 5 HT2 receptors do not play a major role in the control of resting bronchomotor tone or in exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in adult atopic asthmatic patients.
