  <description>Tegaserod is an organic compound with the formula C16H23N5O and an average molecular weight of 301.39 g/mol. Tegaserod belongs to the indoles, a subclass of indoles and derivatives within the organic compounds.

This compound is utilized in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and veterinary products as a drug for constipation, with oral exposure being the recorded route. Its pharmacological activity involves four protein targets. Specifically, it acts as a partial agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 (HTR4) and functions as an antagonist/antagonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2B (HTR2B), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (HTR2C), and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (HTR2A).</description>
