Dotarizine was developed as antimigraineur. Dotarizine inhibited the 5-HT2A response in a concentration-dependent manner. The mechanism of blockade by dotarizine of cerebral vessels contractility has three components: (i) presynaptic inhibition of noradrenaline release; (ii) blockade of postsynaptic vascular 5-HT receptors; (iii) blockade of Ca(2+)entry into the vascular smooth muscle cell cytosol. The compound does not affect the vascular receptors for noradrenaline, angiotensin II or prostaglandin F(2alpha). Dotarizine had a pronounced protective effect against electric seizures.
