1. In order to explore whether 5-HT4 receptor subtypes exist, we have characterized further the 5-HT4 receptor that mediates tachycardia in the piglet isolated right atrium. All experiments were carried out in the presence of propranolol (400 nM) and cocaine (6 microM). We used tryptamine derivatives, substituted benzamides and benzimidazolone derivatives as pharmacological tools. 2. Tachycardia responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were mimicked by other tryptamine derivatives with the following order of potency: 5-HT > 5-methoxytryptamine alpha-methyl-5-HT = bufotenine bufotenine > 5-carboxamidotryptamine = tryptamine (after treatment with pargyline) > 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine > 2-methyl-5-HT. 3. The substituted benzamides were all partial agonists relative to 5-HT except (-)-zacopride which was a full agonist. The stimulant potency order was renzapride > cisapride = (-)-zacopride > metoclopramide > (+)-zacopride. 4. The benzimidazolone derivatives had contrasting effects. BIMU 8 (endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-(1-methyl(eth yl- 2-oxo-1H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamide hydrochloride) was a full agonist relative to 5-HT whilst BIMU 1 (endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-3-ethyl-2-oxo - 1H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamide hydrochloride) was a partial agonist with low intrinsic activity compared to 5-HT but had similar potency. We estimated a pKB of 7.9 for BIMU 1 antagonism of 5-HT-induced tachycardia. DAU 6215 (N-endo-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]-oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-lH-benzimidazole-l-carboxamide, hydrochloride) had no chronotropic activity and was found to be a simple competitive antagonist with a pKB of 7.15.SB 203186 (1-piperidinyl)ethyl lH-indole 3-carboxylate) was a potent antagonist with a pKB of 8.3.The affinity of SB 203186 was approximately 20 times higher than that of tropisetron (ICS 205-930;pKB= 6.9) and DAU 6215 (pKB= 7.0). GR1 13808 (([1-[2-[methylsulphonyl amino]ethyl]-4-piperidinyl]methyl 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate) and SDZ 205-557 ((2-diethylaminoethyl)2-methoxy-4-amino-5-chloro-benzoate) also antagonized 5-HT-induced tachycardia but not by simple competitive blockade.6. The sinoatrial 5-HT4 receptor in the piglet has a pharmacological profile that correlates well with 5-HT4 receptors characterized in rat oesophagus, guinea-pig ileum and colon, mouse embryonic colliculi neurones and human atrium.

5-Hydroxytryptamine increases transmucosal short-circuit current across human isolated small intestinal mucosa. The competitive 5-HT4 antagonist, DAU 6285 evoked a concentration-dependent, dextral and parallel shift of the concentration-response curve to 5-HT, with no alteration of the maximum response. Schild analysis of this antagonism produced a Schild regression with a slope of 1.00 and an apparent pA2 estimate of 6.17. It appears that a 5-HT4 receptor may mediate the short-circuit current response of human small intestinal mucosa to 5-HT.

1. The aim of this study was to characterize the receptors mediating the atropine-resistant neurogenic contraction to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the longitudinal muscle of the guinea-pig proximal colon and to determine the type of tachykinin receptors involved in the contractile response to 5-HT by the use of selective antagonists. 2. In the presence of atropine (0.3 microM), guanethidine (5 microM), hexamethonium (100 microM), ketanserin (0.1 microM) and indomethacin (3 microM), 5-HT (0.01-3 microM) produced concentration-dependent neurogenic contractions of colonic strips and at 0.3 microM produced a maximal effect (pEC50 = 7.39 +/- 0.09, n = 18). The 5-HT4 receptor stimulant, 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT, 0.03-10 microM) also produced neurogenic contractions with similar maximum effect to those of 5-HT (pEC50 = 6.89 +/- 0.16). 3. The 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, DAU 6285 (3 microM) shifted the concentration-response curves to both 5-HT and 5-MeOT to the right without significant depression of the maximum, but the 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptor antagonist, metitepine (0.1 microM) and the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ondansetron (0.3 microM) had no effect on the control curves to 5-HT and 5-MeOT. 4. The selective NK1 receptor antagonist, FK 888 (1 microM) markedly attenuated the contractions to 5-HT and 5-MeOT. In contrast, the selective NK2 receptor antagonist, SR 48968 (10 nM) and the selective NK3 receptor antagonist, SR 142801 (10 nM) had no effect on the contractions to 5-HT and 5-MeOT. 5. These results indicate that the 5-HT-induced atropine-resistant neurogenic contraction of guinea-pig proximal colon is due to activation of 5-HT4 receptors, presumably located on excitatory motor neurones, innervating the longitudinal muscle. The contraction evoked by activation of the 5-HT4 receptors is mediated primarily via NK1 receptors but not NK2 or NK3, suggesting that the 5-HT4 receptor-mediated contraction is evoked indirectly via tachykinin release from tachykinin-releasing excitatory neurones.

5-HT stimulated cyclic AMP generation in human colonic circular smooth muscle in a concentration-dependent fashion (EC50 = 229.1 nM). DAU 6236 also increased cyclic AMP formation and was a partial agonist relative to 5-HT. GR 113808 inhibited the cyclic AMP formation induced by 5-HT with a -log Ki value of 9.1 and an apparent pA2 value of 9.2. Ondansetron and methysergide failed to inhibit cyclic AMP formation induced by 5-HT. These results indicate that the 5-HT4 receptors of human colonic circular muscle mediate relaxation and inhibition of spontaneous contractions via formation of cyclic AMP.

1. In strips of human isolated detrusor muscle, the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor (5-HT4) that mediates facilitation of neuromuscular cholinergic transmission was further characterized by using 5-HT and a series of ligands known for their 5-HT4 agonist (5-methoxytryptamine: 5-MeOT, cisapride, (R,S)-zacopride, BIMU 8) or antagonist (RS 23597, GR 125487, DAU 6285) properties. 2. In the presence of methysergide (1 microM) and ondansetron (3 microM) to isolate pharmacologically the 5-HT4 receptors, 5-HT (0.3 nM-1 microM), 5-MeOT (10 nM -30 microM), BIMU 8 (10 nM-3 microM), cisapride (0.1-10 microM) and (R,S)-zacopride (0.1-30 microM) potentiated cholinergic contractions to electrical field stimulation in a concentration-dependent manner. RS 23597 (10 nM-10 microM), a competitive 5-HT4 receptor antagonist in other systems, also showed agonist properties. The following rank order of potency as an agonist was obtained: 5-HT (pEC50 = 8.0) > RS 23597 (7.0) = BIMU 8 (6.9) > or = cisapride (6.6) > 5-MeOT (6.0) > or = (R,S)-zacopride (5.7). Relative to 5-HT (intrinsic activity = 1), 5-MeOT acted as a full agonist (1.03), while BIMU 8 (0.76), (R,S)-zacopride (0.61), RS 23597 (0.60) and cisapride (0.41) behaved as partial agonists. 3. The potentiation by 5-HT was competitively antagonized by the selective 5-HT4 receptor antagonist GR 125487 (0.3-3 nM) with a pA2 estimate of 9.75 (Schild slope of 1.09), and by DAU 6285 (1 microM; pK3 = 6.45). Additionally, GR 125487 (3 nM) antagonized the responses to 5-MeOT (pKB = 9.72) and reversed the potentiation induced by RS 23597. As an antagonist, RS 23597 (10, 30 and 100 nM) inhibited the response to 5-HT. In addition, 30 and 100 nM RS 23597 reduced the 5-HT response maximum by 30 and 50%, respectively. The pKB value calculated at 10 nM was 8.0. 4. Thus, in the human isolated detrusor muscle, the 5-HT4 receptors mediating facilitation of cholinergic neuromuscular transmission are activated by indoleamines (5-HT, 5-MeOT), substituted benzamide (cisapride, (R,S)-zacopride), benzoate (RS 23597) and benzimidazolone (BIMU 8) derivatives. The activities (in terms of both potency and efficacy) of most agonists, as well as the affinity estimates of the antagonists GR 125487 and DAU 6285, are comparable to those found in other peripheral tissues. Exceptions are RS 23597, which acted either as a partial agonist or as an antagonist of the response to 5-HT1 and 5-MeOT that showed an unusually low potency. The latter findings may be ascribed to differences in the efficiency of receptor coupling mechanisms and/or in the molecular structure (i.e. splice variants) of the 5-HT4 receptor.

The effects of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) on ventilation were investigated by continuous measurements of intrabuccal pressure in unrestrained eel. Intravenous administration of 5-hydroxytryptamine (30 micrograms.kg-1) caused a large increase in ventilatory frequency (+ 100%) and amplitude (+ 140%). The 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced hyperventilation was blocked by the 5-HT3-receptor antagonists metoclopramide (1.0 mg.kg-1) or MDL72222 (1.0 mg.kg-1), and was insensitive to the 5-HT1/2-receptor antagonist methysergide (3.0 mg.kg-1) and to the 5-HT4-receptor antagonist DAU 6285 CL (3.0 mg.kg-1). The hyperventilatory response to 5-hydroxytryptamine could be mimicked by the 5-HT3 receptor agonist 1-phenylbiguanide (300 micrograms.kg-1). These results strongly implicate the 5-HT3-receptor as the mediator of the 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced hyperventilation in eel.

Serotonin (5-HT) applied at 1, 3, and 10 microM into the striatum of halothane-anesthetized rats by in vivo microdialysis enhanced dopamine (DA) outflow up to 173, 283, and 584% of baseline values, respectively. The 5-HT effect was partially reduced by 1 or 10 microM GR 125,487, a 5-HT4 antagonist, and by 100 microM DAU 6285, a 5-HT3/4 antagonist, whereas the 5-HT1/2/6 antagonist methiothepin (50 microM) was ineffective. In the presence of tetrodotoxin the effect of 1 microM 5-HT was not affected by 5-HT4 antagonists. In addition, tetrodotoxin abolished the increase in DA release induced by the 5-HT4 agonist (S)- zacopride (100 microM). In striatal synaptosomes, 1 and 10 microM 5-HT increased the outflow of newly synthesized [3H]DA up to 163 and 635% of control values, respectively. The 5-HT4 agonists BIMU 8 and (S)-zacopride (1 and 10 microM) failed to modify [3H]DA outflow, whereas 5- methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT) at 10 microM increased it (62%). In prelabeled [3H]DA synaptosomes, 1 microM 5-HT, but not (S)-zacopride (1 and 10 microM), increased [3H]DA outflow. DAU 6285 (10 microM) failed to modify the enhancement of newly synthesized [3H]DA outflow induced by 5-MeOT or 5-HT (1 microM), whereas the effect of 5-HT was reduced to the same extent by the DA reuptake inhibitor nomifensine (1 microM) alone or in the presence of DAU 6285. These results show that striatal 5-HT4 receptors are involved in the 5-HT-induced enhancement of striatal DA release in vivo and that they are not located on striatal DA terminals.

The effect of repeated treatment with various antidepressant drugs on the reactivity of CA1 neurons to the 5-HT4 receptor agonist zacopride was examined. Zacopride decreased the calcium-activated afterhyperpolarization and adaptation, it also elicited a slow membrane depolarization associated with an increase in input resistance. All those effects may have contributed to the zacopride-induced increase in the amplitude of population spikes, evoked in the CA1 cell layer by stimulation of the Schaffer collateral/commissural pathway. The later effect of zacopride was concentration-dependent and was antagonized by the 5-HT4 receptor antagonist DAU 62805. Repeated (14 days, twice daily), but not single, administration of the antidepressant drugs imipramine, citalopram, fluvoxamine and paroxetine (10 mg/kg) attenuated the effect of zacopride on population spikes. Because inhibitory 5-HT1A and excitatory 5-HT4 receptors are colocalized on pyramidal neurons, and our previous data demonstrated an increase in the 5-HT1A receptor-mediated inhibition after repeated treatment with antidepressants, we conclude that treatment with antidepressant drugs may enhance the inhibitory effect of 5-HT directly, by increasing the 5-HT1A receptor responsiveness, and indirectly, by inducing subsensitivity to the 5-HT4 receptor activation.

Unitary extracellular recordings were made in in vitro rat brain slices to explore the effects of serotoninergic analogues on the spontaneous activity of substantia nigra reticulata (SNr) neurons. Most SNr neurons exhibited regular spontaneous firing (23.4 +/- 8.9 Hz, mean +/- S.E.M., n = 30) similar to that found in vivo. The most reproducible effect of serotonin (5-HT) was an increase in firing frequency found in 53% of the cells. The effect was concentration dependent and blocked by the 5-HT1/2 antagonist methysergide (1-10 microM) but unaffected by the 5-HT4- and 5-HT1-preferring antagonists DAU 6285 (5 microM) and metiothepin (5 microM), respectively. However, 5-HT also decreased the firing frequency in several neurons. In 19% of the neurons an inhibition was found alone but a biphasic response (inhibition and excitation) was found in another 28% of the neurons. Interestingly, the effect of the 5-HT-uptake inhibitor, duloxetine (100-400 nM), was frequency inhibition. Agonists that mimicked the 5-HT-induced inhibition were of the 5-HT1B-class (25 microM CP 93129 and 25 microM TFMPP). Neither the 5-HT2-antagonist ritanserin (5 microM) nor the GABA(A)-antagonist, bicuculline (30 microM) were able to block the inhibition suggesting that some SNr neurons may be directly inhibited by 5-HT.

1. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) has been shown to cause a consistent secretory effect in the rat small intestine only when administered luminally or by close intraarterial infusion. Intraluminal 5-HT-induced secretion is possibly mediated by 5-HT4 receptors. Therefore, it was decided to investigate the effect of 5-HT and selective 5-HT4 receptor agonists (SC 53116 and DAU 6236) on intestinal fluid transport in rat jejunum and ileum. The study also investigated the effect of a selective 5-HT4 receptor antagonist (GR 113808) against the intraluminally administered 5-HT. 2. 5-HT receptor agonists and antagonists were administered intraluminally in pentobarbitone-anesthetized rats. Changes in intestinal fluid transport across the intestinal wall were measured by a single pass technique. 3. Intraluminal 5-HT produced significant antiabsorptive effects is both the jejunum and ileum. The 5-HT-induced responses were blocked by intraluminal administration of the 5-HT4 receptor antagonist GR 113808. The 5-HT4 agonist SC 53116 induced antiabsorptive effects in both regions of the small intestine, but DAU 6236 did not affect the rates of fluid transport. 4. The results indicate that a 5-HT4 receptor has a role in the luminal 5-HT-induced antiabsorptive effect on intestinal fluid transport in the rat.
