N-(p-Coumaroyl) Serotonin is a selective inhibitor of PDGFRβ, ERK1/2, and caspase-8 with antioxidant, anti-atherosclerotic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It inhibits glioblastoma cells (U251MG, T98G) and normal fibroblasts. This compound inhibits PDGF signaling by reducing receptor phosphorylation, blocks Ca2+ influx, and induces apoptosis by activating caspase-8. It may improve atherosclerosis and aortic wall enlargement, and is also used in the study of glioblastoma.
