12/01/2006 - "Useful information has paradoxically come from the side effects of the 5-HT3 antagonists and 5-HT4 agonists used in treatment of irritable bowel syndrome patients."
08/01/2006 - "Bloating in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may result from impaired intestinal gas transit and is reduced by the 5-HT4 agonist tegaserod. "
08/01/2002 - "Tegaserod, a 5-HT4 agonist, is useful for women with irritable bowel syndrome who are constipated. "
01/01/2010 - "Tegaserod, a 5-HT4 agonist, is effective for treating irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation. "

04/01/2013 - "We evaluated the effect of mosapride, a 5-HT4 agonist, and PPI cotherapy in patients with GERD on esophageal motility using high-resolution manometry (HRM). "
01/01/2002 - "To evaluate the efficiency by which the 5-HT4 agonist cisapride affects important motor functions involved in the control of gastro-oesophageal reflux. "
04/01/2007 - "Significant stimulatory impact of 5-HT4 agonist on several salivary protective factors as well as esophageal EGF secretion may have esophagoprotective implications in patients with GERD and may help to address new therapies in the future."
04/01/2015 - "Randomised clinical trial: the 5-HT4 agonist revexepride in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease who have persistent symptoms despite PPI therapy."
10/01/2003 - "To evaluate the efficiency of the 5-HT4 agonist and 5-HT3 antagonist mosapride, as compared with cisapride, on oesophageal acid reflux variables and oesophageal motor function in patients with chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). "

01/01/2007 - "Activation of 5-HT4 receptors has been shown to improve memory processes in preclinical cognition models, suggesting potential utility of 5-HT4 agonists for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). "
12/16/2008 - "5-HT4 agonists are currently being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and have previously been demonstrated to improve cognitive performance in a variety of tests but none that specifically test attention. "
05/01/2004 - "With respect to neurodegenerative disorders, it is suggested that 5-HT4 agonists may represent a new avenue for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. "

09/01/2005 - "Our results show that, with mosapride, opioid-induced respiratory depression cannot be prevented, and because other 5-HT4 agonists are not currently available for clinical use, a cure for opioid-induced respiratory depression as promised by the previous successful experiments in laboratory animals is not yet available in clinical practice."
09/01/2005 - "On the basis of experiments in rats, serotonin 4 receptor (5-hydroxytryptamine 4 [5-HT4]) agonists have been proposed as a novel therapeutic strategy for the selective treatment of respiratory depression caused by opioids while leaving analgesic effects unaffected. "
