Dolasetron Mesylate Monohydrate with CAS number 878143-33-0 is a pharmaceutical research reagent consisting of the hydrated mesylate salt of dolasetron, a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. The 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel distributed across both the central and peripheral nervous systems, where it participates in the signalling pathways that trigger nausea and vomiting. In research settings, this compound serves as a standard reference substance for studying the behaviour of that receptor, validating analytical methods, and supporting experimental pharmacology studies. The product is intended for laboratory and experimental use only, and is not for human administration or clinical practice.
The mesylate monohydrate salt form is selected because sulfonate salts generally offer better aqueous solubility and more practical handling as a solid than the corresponding free base. This makes it easier to prepare aqueous stock solutions for receptor binding assays as well as standard solutions for chromatography. The monohydrate status means that water molecules are bound within the crystal lattice, so molecular mass calculations must be based on the hydrate form in order for prepared solution concentrations to be correct. As a reference compound, clarity of identity and consistency of the material are the properties that matter most to the analyst.
In Indonesian laboratories, this reagent is typically used within university pharmacy and pharmacology departments, government and private research institutes, and analytical laboratories that develop or verify testing methods. It supports method development and system suitability work on chromatographic instrumentation, receptor-level pharmacology investigations, and teaching or training activities at the postgraduate level. In all of these contexts the material functions strictly as an experimental and analytical reference, handled under normal laboratory controls rather than in any clinical or patient-facing capacity.

Store the reagent in its original tightly closed container, kept in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, moisture and incompatible materials, following the storage conditions specified on the manufacturer's label. Because the material is a monohydrate, the container should be resealed promptly after weighing to preserve the hydration state and ensure accurate mass calculations. Amber glass or the supplied primary container is appropriate for storage, and prepared solutions should be labelled clearly with concentration and preparation date. Handle the solid in a fume hood or with adequate ventilation, wear a laboratory coat, gloves and safety glasses, avoid generating dust, and wash hands thoroughly after use. Consult the Safety Data Sheet before handling, and dispose of residues and contaminated consumables through the laboratory's chemical waste procedures. The product is for laboratory and experimental use only and must not be administered to humans.
