Cilansetron is a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist that was developed for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), particularly for diarrhea-predominant IBS. The drug showed promise in clinical trials, especially for male patients, but it was never approved for widespread use and is not marketed today.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for a typical healthy adult based on class similarity with other 5-HT3 antagonists (such as ondansetron). No direct published PK study found for cilansetron.
