Pharmacology
Indication For the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders associated with motility disturbances such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, non-ulcer dyspepsia and delayed gastric emptying.
Pharmacodynamics Not Available
Mechanism of action Cinitapride is a substituted benzamide with 5-HT receptor antagonist and agonist activity.
Absorption The absorption of cinitapride (12mg) following oral administration was rapid, with peak levels being achieved 2 h after dosing; absorption following intramuscular administration (4mg) was even more rapid, with peak levels (50% more that oral levels) being achieved 1 h after dosing.

Targets

1. 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A receptor

Pharmacological action: yes
Actions: agonist

This is one of the several different receptors for 5- hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity

2. 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor

Pharmacological action: yes
Actions: antagonist

This is one of the several different receptors for 5- hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. This receptor is involved in tracheal smooth muscle contraction, bronchoconstriction, and control of aldosterone production
