Dolasetron mesylate hydrate (MDL-73147EF hydrate; MDL-73147) is a potent serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used to treat nausea and vomiting following chemotherapy. Its main effect is to reduce the activity of the vagus nerve, which is a nerve that activates the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata. It does not have much antiemetic effect when symptoms are due to motion sickness. This drug does not have any effect on dopamine receptors or muscarinic receptors.
Dolasetron (MDL-73147) is a first-generation 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT₃) receptor antagonist used for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea and vomiting. It is administered intravenously or orally and exerts its antiemetic effects by selectively blocking serotonin binding to 5-HT₃ receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. While dolasetron is effective in controlling acute CINV (within the first 24 hours after chemotherapy), clinical studies have demonstrated that it is less effective than second-generation agents such as palonosetron in preventing delayed CINV (24–120 hours post-chemotherapy). Due to safety concerns regarding dose-dependent QTc interval prolongation and an increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias, the use of intravenous dolasetron has been restricted or discontinued in many clinical settings.

Clinical Efficacy – Phase III Trials: In a pooled analysis of four phase III randomized, double-blind trials, dolasetron (100 mg IV) was evaluated in patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC). The complete response (CR) rate (no emesis and no rescue antiemetics) for dolasetron in the delayed phase (>24–120 h) was 45% (pooled across older 5-HT₃ RAs), which was significantly lower than the 57% CR rate observed with palonosetron (P < 0.0001). Similarly, the overall CR rate (0–120 h) was 40% for older 5-HT₃ RAs versus 51% for palonosetron (P < 0.0001). [2]
Clinical Efficacy – Retrospective Claims Analysis: In a retrospective database analysis of 26,974 patients receiving single-day emetogenic chemotherapy, dolasetron was among the 5-HT₃ RAs evaluated. The overall delayed CINV rate at cycle 1 was 15.6%, with dolasetron showing a rate of 17.3%. Compared to palonosetron, patients receiving dolasetron had higher odds of delayed CINV in cycle 2 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.65; 95% CI: 1.27–2.15; P = 0.002). This trend continued through subsequent cycles, though not all ORs reached statistical significance. Over 6 cycles of chemotherapy, dolasetron was associated with an additional $148,960 in CINV-related charges compared to palonosetron. [1] Clinical Safety: The incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) with dolasetron was 27.5% (pooled across older 5-HT₃ RAs), similar to palonosetron 0.25 mg (20.0%) and 0.75 mg (26.5%). The most common treatment-related AEs were constipation (9.2%) and headache (7.4%). [2] |
| Animal Protocol |
We analyzed patient-level data derived from four randomized, double-blind, phase III studies that compared palonosetron at doses of 0.25 mg or 0.75 mg against ondansetron 32 mg, dolasetron 100 mg, or granisetron 40 μg/kg. The primary endpoints comprised complete response (CR), defined as no emesis and no use of rescue antiemetics, during the acute (0–24 h), delayed (>24–120 h), and overall (0–120 h) phases following chemotherapy. Additional endpoints included complete control (CC), characterized by no emesis, no rescue antiemetics, and no more than mild nausea, the number of emetic episodes, and the severity of nausea.

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation Information regarding the use of dolasetron during lactation is limited. Until more data becomes available, caution should be exercised when using dolasetron during lactation. Alternative medications may be considered. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants A double-blind study randomized 160 women undergoing elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia to two groups. One group received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCA) with sufentanil (standard treatment), while the other group received PCA with dexmedetomidine in addition to standard treatment. Dexmedetomidine was administered at a dose of 5 mcg/kg, followed by a continuous infusion at a rate of 0.5 mcg/kg/hour until the end of the procedure. The latter group received PCA with dexmedetomidine in combination with sufentanil for 2 days post-operatively. Both groups received 25 mg of dolasetron in their PCA solution, and all mothers breastfed. Both groups of newborns had good behavioral and neurological assessments on postpartum days 1 and 2. [1] ◉ Effects on lactation and breast milk A double-blind study randomized 160 women undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia to two groups: one group received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCA) with sufentanil (standard treatment), and the other group received PCA with dexmedetomidine in addition to standard treatment. The dose of dexmedetomidine was 5 mcg/kg, followed by a continuous infusion at a rate of 0.5 mcg/kg/hour until the end of the surgery. The latter group received dexmedetomidine in combination with PCA with sufentanil on postoperative day 2. Both groups had 25 mg of dolasetron added to their PCA solution. Patients treated with dexmedetomidine had a shorter time to first lactation (28 hours vs 34 hours), achieved exclusive breastfeeding more quickly (8 days vs 11 days), and had more milk production on the second postpartum day.

| Additional Infomation |
Dolasetron mesylate is an indole derivative with antiemetic activity. As a selective serotonin receptor antagonist, dolasetron mesylate competitively blocks the action of serotonin on 5-HT3 receptors, thereby inhibiting nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. (NCI04)
