Description / Application
Mosapride is a racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-mosapride. It is a gastroprokinetic agent which acts on 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 (5-HT4) receptors in the gastrointestinal plexus, consequently increasing the release of acetylcholine and hence enhancing gastrointestinal motility and gastric emptying. It has a role as a serotonergic agonist and a gastrointestinal drug. It contains a (R)-mosapride and a (S)-mosapride.
