Application

Metergoline has been used as a serotonin receptor antagonist:

  • to study its effects on astrocyte calcium signals evoked by whisker stimulation
  • to study its effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced anorexia in rats
  • to evaluate the non-specific binding by 5-HT1A receptor binding assays

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metergoline is an ergot alkaloid and a selective serotonin antagonist which blocks the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors with higher affinity. It possesses antifungal activity against infection caused by Candida krusei. Metergoline exhibits a therapeutic effect against premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It also exhibits antipyretic and analgesic activities.
