NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt form of temanogrel, an orally bioavailable, selective inverse
agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (5-HT2A), with potential anti-thrombotic
and vasodilating activities. Upon oral administration, temanogrel targets, binds to
and inhibits 5-HT2A expressed on platelet surfaces and in smooth muscle cells, thereby
inhibiting 5-HT-mediated platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction. This may attenuate
platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction, and improve blood flow.;
