Application

Metergoline has been used as a serotonin receptor antagonist:

  • to study its effects on astrocyte calcium signals evoked by whisker stimulation[1]
  • to study its effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced anorexia in rats[2]
  • to evaluate the non-specific binding by 5-HT1A receptor binding assays[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metergoline is an ergot alkaloid[4] and a selective serotonin antagonist which blocks the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors with higher affinity.[5] It possesses antifungal activity against infection caused by Candida krusei.[6] Metergoline exhibits a therapeutic effect against premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It also exhibits antipyretic and analgesic activities.[7]
