It has been suggested that benzamides, like cisapride, exert their effects on the guinea-pig ileum via activation of a 5-HT receptor (5-HT4 receptor?) mechanism. The aim of this study was to determine whether an how the 5-HT4 receptor (previously described in mouse colliculi neurones) is involved in the cisapride-induced effect. The effects induced by cisapride were compared with those of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT) either alone or in the presence of a 5-HT4 antagonist (micromolar concentration of ICS 205-930) or a benzamide antagonist (R 50 595). As a model we used the electrically stimulated longitudinal muscle myenteric plexus preparation from the guinea-pig ileum. Cisapride (3.10(-7) M), 5-HT and a 5-HT4 receptor agonist 5-MeOT (3.10(-10)-10(-6) M) induced similar effects, i.e. enhancement of the twitch responses. After rinsing the organ baths, a second addition of the agonists resulted in a similar response. The studied agonists showed mutual desensitization. Cisapride desensitized the response induced by 5-HT or 5-MeOT, and 5-MeOT or 5-HT desensitized the effect induced by cisapride. In preparations preincubated with a 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, ICS 205-930- (3.10(-6) M) or R 50 595 (3.10(-7) M), a benzamide with a specific antagonistic action on the effect induced by 5-HT and benzamides on the guinea-pig ileum, the effects induced by cisapride, 5-HT and 5-MeOT were abolished. These results indicate that cisapride indeed exerts its effect via an agonistic action on a serotonin receptor, probably the previously described 5-HT4 receptor.

The rise in transmural potential difference (PD) and the fluid secretion induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were measured in rat small intestine in-vivo. Both cisapride and ketanserin abolished the 5-HT-induced rise in systolic blood pressure mediated by 5-HT2 receptors. Cisapride inhibited the 5-HT-induced increases in the transintestinal PD, but over the same dose range it had no effect on the fluid secretion induced by 5-HT. In contrast, ketanserin caused a dose-dependent reduction in 5-HT-induced fluid secretion at doses that failed to influence the rise in PD. It is concluded that different receptors are responsible for the effects of 5-HT on fluid secretion and electrical activity in the rat small intestine.

In the guinea-pig ileum, pretreatment with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) (5 microM) for 4-5 min inhibited both 5-HT- and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced cholinergic contractions without consistently altering those induced by electrical field stimulation. Cisapride (1 micron) antagonized 5-HT-induced cholinergic contractions but left those induced by GABA or twitch responses unchanged. These results indicate that the 5-HT action in inhibiting GABA-induced cholinergic responses may arise at the interneuronal level, thus suggesting that GABA may also indirectly activate cholinergic terminal neurons. These findings rule out the possibility of 5-HT acting as an intermediate transmitter in this type of response.

The possibility that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is involved in the chloride secretory response evoked by electrical stimulation of submucosal neurons was investigated in guinea-pig ileum set up in Ussing flux chambers. When electrical stimulus pulses of 0.5 ms duration, amplitude of 3.2 mA and frequency of 10 Hz were applied repetitively in the plane of the tissue, a biphasic increase in short-circuit current (Isc) occurred. After tachyphylaxis to 5-HT or when the 5-HT antagonist cisapride was present in the bathing solutions, electrical stimulation of enteric nerves still evoked a biphasic change in Isc that was similar in magnitude to the response before either treatment. Cisapride (5 microM) prevented the mucosal response to exogenous 5-HT without altering the functional integrity of the tissues. Addition of 100 microM 5-HT to the submucosal side of the tissue evoked a biphasic increase in Isc that reflected primarily chloride secretion. Tetrodotoxin and atropine significantly reduced but did not abolish the change in Isc and chloride secretion. These results suggest that the mucosal response evoked by electrical field stimulation is not mediated by release of 5-HT at neuro-enterocyte junctions or from endocrine elements. 5-Hydroxytryptamine activated enteric cholinergic neurons within the submucosal plexus to stimulate chloride secretion.

In the guinea pig proximal colon, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) stimulates neuronal 5-HT1-like receptors to induce relaxations that are mediated by nitric oxide and ATP. In the current study, the effects of cisapride and structural analogs on these 5-HT-induced relaxations were investigated. In the continuous presence of ketanserin (0.3 microM) and tropisetron (3 microM) to block contractions via 5-HT2A, 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors, 5-HT induced relaxations that yielded a biphasic concentration-response curve. Cisapride (0.1-1 microM) enhanced the second phase of the concentration-response curve to 5-HT by about 20% to 40%, whereas from 0.3 microM onwards, it inhibited the first phase. Also in the presence of cisapride (0.3 microM), tetrodotoxin (0.3 microM) abolished the relaxations to 5-HT. Cisapride (0.3 microM) did not affect the concentration-response curves to isoprenaline, nitroglycerin, nitroprusside or exogenous ATP, which demonstrated its specificity. The 5-HT relaxation-enhancing effects of cisapride were not mimicked by phentolamine (1 microM), NAN-190 (0.03 microM), spiperone (1 microM), citalopram (0.3 microM), paroxetine (0.3 microM), pargyline (100 microM) or SDZ 205-557 (0.3 microM). In the presence of the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, NG-nitro-L-arginine (100 microM), cisapride (0.3 microM) still enhanced the remaining relaxations to 5-HT (2-3-fold). However, in the presence of the P2-purinoceptor antagonist suramin (300 microM), cisapride did not enhance the relaxations to 5-HT. In the presence of NG-nitro-L-arginine, the cisapride-enhanced relaxations to 5-HT were inhibited by about 90% by suramin. We conclude that in the guinea pig colon, cisapride selectively facilitates the suramin-sensitive, ATP-mediated part of the relaxation to 5-HT via an unidentified effect on intramural nerves.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of methysergide, ketanserin, granisetron, cisapride, and renzapride on serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine-evoked short-circuit current in muscle and myenteric plexus-stripped pig jejunum using the Ussing chamber technique. Ketanserin, granisetron, cisapride, and renzapride all reduced the 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced increase in short-circuit current by about 50%. Combination of ketanserin and granisetron only reduced the 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced peak increase in short-circuit current by 25%. Cisapride caused a small concentration-dependent increase in short-circuit current. Atropine and hexamethonium both almost completely suppressed the cisapride-induced peak increase in short-circuit current. Atropine and hexamethonium both almost completely suppressed the cisapride-induced peak increase in short-circuit current. Ketanserin, granisetron, methysergide, and renzapride did not alter the basal short-circuit current. These results suggest that 5-hydroxytryptamine elicits an increase in short-circuit current by activating epithelial and submucosal 5-hydroxytryptamine2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine3 receptor subtypes. Furthermore, the short-circuit current-increasing effect of cisapride, is due to activation of at least muscarinic and nicotinic receptors.

Prokinetic benzamides (e.g., cisapride) enhance gastrointestinal motility and transit. In vitro studies on the guinea pig ileum suggest that their effect is mediated via serotonergic 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT4) receptors, resulting in a facilitation of cholinergic neurotransmission. However, most in vivo studies have been performed on the canine stomach. Therefore, our aim was to determine whether the findings obtained on the guinea pig ileum can be extrapolated to another species and another organ. Does a benzamide facilitate cholinergic neutrotransmission on strips of the canine stomach in vitro? If so, does the benzamide exert its effect via a serotonergic 5-HT4 mechanism? Longitudinal muscle strips with adhering myenteric plexus were isolated from the canine stomach and were electrically stimulated at submaximal frequencies resulting in a mean contractile response of 16 +/- 7% of the response to methacholine (10(-6) M). Atropine and tetrodotoxin (both 3 x 10(-7) M) abolished the contractile responses, whereas hexamethonium (10(-4) M) had no effect. Cisapride (3 x 10(-7) M) enhanced the contractile responses from 14 to 70% (59 +/- 5% increase). 5-HT (3 x 10(-7) M) similarly enhanced the responses from 12 to 72% (58 +/- 5% increase). Cisapride induced a sustained enhancement throughout the duration of the experiment; in contrast, the effect of 5-HT subsided in about 90 min. Single-concentration administration of cisapride (10(-8)-10(-6) M) and 5-HT (10(-9)-3 x 10(-7) M) resulted in EC50 values of 1.0 (0.8-1.4) x 10(-7) M for cisapride and 1.3 (0.8-2.1) x 10(-8) M for 5-HT. Methiothepin and methysergide (both 3 x 10(-7) M; 5-HT1-receptor antagonists), ketanserin and LY 53857 (both 3 x 10(-7) M; 5-HT2-receptor antagonists), granisetron (3 x 10(-7) M; 5-HT3-receptor antagonist) or ICS 205-930 (3 x 10(-7) M; 5-HT3-receptor antagonist and in addition 5-HT4-receptor antagonist at 3 x 10(-6) M) did not reduce the responses to both cisapride and 5-HT. 1-(1-Naphthalenyl)piperazine (10(-6) M; 5-HT-receptor antagonist in the rat gastric fundus) significantly reduced the increase by 5-HT (24 +/- 7%; 7-31%) but had no effect on the cisapride (3 x 10(-7) M)-induced increase (69 +/- 4%; 8-77%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The stimulating effect of cisapride on the motility of the digestive tract is well known. However, there are only a few studies on the influence of this drug on the absorptive or secretory activity of the colonic mucosa. In the present study, the ability of cisapride to alter the mural transport of water and electrolytes in the colon and its effects on mucus secretion and albumin permeation were studied. The effects of cisapride on the rat colon in vivo were studied under different conditions, by means of an instillation of sodium acetate solution at pH 6.9, which induced absorption of water and electrolytes, and in two models of colonic secretion, one employing the instillation of an acetic acid solution at pH 2.9 and the other, an intravenous infusion of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 45 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 together with intracolonic instillation of sodium acetate. Cisapride (i.v.), at a dose of 0.32 mg.kg-1, in rats whose colon was instilled with sodium acetate (pH 6.9) induced an increase in sodium absorption and a reduction in water absorption. Cisapride (i.v.), at doses of 0.32, 0.64 and 1.0 mg.kg-1, inhibited the secretion of water, Na+, Cl-, and mucus and the permeation of albumin induced by acetic acid instillation or by serotonin infusion. It is concluded that the effect of cisapride on the colonic mucosa varies in accordance with the functional mucosal conditions and that this action may be of clinical importance.

We investigated the existence and the function of 5-hydroxytryptamine(4) (5-HT4) receptors and the effect of TKS159, a novel agonist of 5-HT4 receptor, on guinea pig stomach. The mechanical activity and the release of [3H]ACh were measured using preparations of muscle layers attached to intramural plexus from guinea pig stomach. 5-HT in the presence of 1 microM methysergide, 1 microM ketanserin and 1 microM granisetron, 5-methoxytryptamine or TKS159 enhanced the electrical transmural stimulation-evoked contraction and [3H]ACh release in strips of the stomach in a concentration-dependent manner. This enhancement by 5-HT, 5-methoxytryptamine or TKS159 was antagonized by SDZ 205-557 or atropine. Cisapride, metoclopramide and TKS159 enhanced the electrical transmural stimulation-evoked contraction and release of [3H]ACh in a concentration-dependent manner. We conclude that the pharmacological characteristics of the receptor, which mediates contraction of the guinea pig stomach by the activation of cholinergic nerves, are consistent with its being of the putative 5-HT4 receptor type and that TKS159 is an agonist at 5-HT4 receptors.

1. The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) induced-contraction in ring preparations of basilar arteries from Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) was pharmacologically characterized in vitro. 2. Contractile responses to 5-HT (1 nM-100 nM) and their pD2 values in arteries from SHRSP at 6 months of age were significantly greater than those in age-matched WKY, although the maximum response did not differ between the two groups. 3. There were no significant differences in contractile responses to U-44619, endothelin-1, neuropeptide Y, and angiotensin II between WKY and SHRSP arteries. 4. Spiperone (1 nM-1 microM, a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist), produced biphasic displacement of the 5-HT curves in WKY and SHRSP arteries. The response to high concentrations of 5-HT was concentration-dependently antagonized by spiperone, while the response to low concentrations of 5-HT was resistant to blockade by spiperone, and the spiperone-resistant contractile responses induced by 5-HT were greater in SHRSP than in WKY. Ketanserin (1-100 nM, 5-HT2) also produced a biphasic shift of the 5-HT curves for both arteries. 5. Methiothepin (10 and 100 nM, 5-HT1 and 5-HT2) potently inhibited 5-HT-induced contractions in both groups. In addition, methiothepin (100 nM) produced a parallel shift to the right of the component of 5-HT-induced contractile responses that was resistant to blockade by spiperone in both groups. 6. The contractile effects of 5-HT in WKY and SHRSP arteries were not affected by MDL 72222 (1 microM, 5-HT3) and SDZ 205-557 (1 microM, 5-HT4). In addition, cocaine (10 microM), pargyline (50 microM), prazosin (10 microM), indomethacin (3 microM) and SQ 29,548 (1 microM) did not affect the contractile effects of 5-HT in either artery. 7. Contractile responses to 5-carboxamidotryptamine, CGS 12066B, pindolol and propranolol were greater in SHRSP arteries than in WKY arteries, whereas contractions in response to 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), alpha-methyl-5-HT and 2-methyl-5-HT did not differ between the two groups. Cisapride failed to contract basilar arteries in both groups. Furthermore, a correlation analysis showed a highly significant correlation between the pD2 values of 5-HT agonists in WKY and SHRSP arteries and their published binding affinities at the 5-HT1B subtype. 8. These findings suggest that 5-HT elicits vasoconstriction in rat basilar arteries by stimulation of a mixed receptor population of 5-HT2 and 5-HT1-like receptors (similar to the 5-HT1B receptor subtype), and that the contraction mediated by 5-HT1-like receptors is enhanced in the basilar artery from SHRSP.
