Ketanserin is a quinazoline-derived serotonin (5-HT2A) receptor antagonist with additional alpha-1 adrenergic blocking effects. It was developed and used primarily as an antihypertensive agent for the treatment of high blood pressure, but is not widely approved or used currently due to availability of newer antihypertensives and concerns about side effects.
