The potential interaction of CM 57493 [4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1-(2-cyanoethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyri din e] with central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors was assessed using biochemical and electrophysiological tests in the rat and in the cat. In vitro binding assays with rat brain membranes revealed that CM 57493 bound to 5-HT1A sites in a concentration range (pIC50 = 7.1) at least two orders of magnitude lower than that required for its interaction with 5-HT1B/5-HT1D, 5-HT2, 5-HT3 and 5-HTPre sites. The affinity of CM 57493 for 5-HT1A sites labeled by [3H]-8-OH-DPAT in hippocampal membranes was enhanced by Mn++ and reduced by GTP, as expected for an agonist. Like 8-OH-DPAT, CM 57493 inhibited forskolin-activated adenylate cyclase activity in hippocampal homogenates. The inhibitory effects of these two compounds were not additive and were prevented by 5-HT1A antagonists such as spiperone and dl-propranolol. In vivo treatment with CM 57493 decreased the levels of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid in various brain areas, as observed with other 5-HT1A agonists such as 8-OH-DPAT and ipsapirone. Electrophysiological recording within the dorsal raphe nucleus in chloral hydrate anesthetized rats showed that CM 57493 administration induced a dose-dependent reduction of the spontaneous firing of serotoninergic neurons. In vitro, CM 57493 (5-20 microM) also reduced neuronal firing in the nucleus raphe dorsalis within brainstem slice, and this effect could be prevented by dl-propranolol. Finally, in cats pretreated with reserpine, CM 57493 induced a decrease in ponto-geniculo-occipital activity, which could be antagonized by methiothepin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The characteristics of high affinity [3H]5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) binding to non 5-HT1A non 5-HT1C sites were examined in crude membranes prepared from different regions of guinea-pig and pigeon brains. The coupling of these sites to adenylate cyclase was examined, and its pharmacological profile investigated. In the presence of 100 nmol/l 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin) and 100 nmol/l mesulergine, [3H]5-HT labelled with nanomolar affinity an apparently homogeneous population of recognition sites in guinea-pig and pigeon brain membranes. The rank order of affinities of agonists and antagonists (5-CT (5-carboxamidotryptamine) greater than 5-HT greater than RU 24969 (5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4- pyridinyl)-1H indole succinate) greater than yohimbine greater than or equal to rauwolscine greater than DP-5-CT (N,N dipropyl-5-carboxamidotryptamine) greater than or equal to mianserin greater than 8-OH-DPAT greater than mesulergine greater than SDZ 21-009 ((+/-)-4(3-tert-butyl-amino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-indol-2 carbonic acid isopropyl ester) greater than (-)propranolol), as well as their individual pKD values, were very similar to those at porcine caudate 5-HT1D sites and clearly different from those at rat cortex 5-HT1B sites. In the substantia nigra of the guinea-pig the 5-HT receptor-mediated inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase had a pharmacological profile fully comparable to that of 5-HT1D binding sites (5-CT greater than 5-HT greater than yohimbine greater than RU 24969 greater than 8-OH-DPAT greater than SDZ 21-009 = isamoltane greater than (-)pindolol greater than (-)propranolol).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We have previously reported the presence of a 5-HT1 (serotonin)-like receptor coupled in an inhibitory manner to adenylate cyclase in the opossum kidney cell line, which is derived from the kidney of a North American opossum. Pharmacological data from binding and cyclic AMP production studies indicate that this receptor does not have characteristics of a 5-HT1A, 5-HT1C or 5-HT1D receptor, but is similar to 5-HT1B receptors found in rodent tissues. Many serotonergic drugs, including 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyrindinyl)1H-indol, 5-HT and methysergide, but not (+/-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-N-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide or buspirone, were full agonists at this receptor as defined by the inhibition of bovine parathyroid hormone peptide fragment 1-34-stimulated cyclic AMP production in an intact cell assay. Several classical beta adrenergic antagonists including propranolol and cyanopindolol were also full agonists at this receptor. Radioligand binding studies using [125I](-)-iodocyanopindolol gave a Bmax of 88 fmol/mg of protein and a KD of 47 pM for saturation experiments carried out in the presence of GTP. In the absence of GTP, the binding data were significantly better fit by a two-site model with KD values of 10 and 345 pM. Inhibition binding experiments were consistent with the results of the cyclic AMP experiments. The identification of 5-HT1B receptors in a tissue derived from the opossum kidney suggests that these receptors may be distributed more widely than previously thought, inasmuch as other studies have found them only in neuronal tissues of rodents.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

GR 43175 (3-[2-dimethylamino]ethyl-N-methyl-1 H-indole-5 methane sulphonamide) is a novel 5-HT1-like receptor-selective agonist which was reported to be active in the treatment of migraine attacks. The effects of the compound were investigated in radioligand binding studies and in functional models for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, and 5-HT1D receptors (inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in calf hippocampus, rat and calf substantia nigra, respectively) and 5-HT1C receptors (stimulation of inositol phosphate production in pig choroid plexus). GR 43175 displayed the following order of affinity for 5-HT recognition sites (pKD values, -log mol/l, in parentheses): 5-HT1D (7.54) greater than 5-HT1B (6.35) greater than 5-HT1A (6.13) much greater than 5-HT1C (4.13) greater than 5-HT2 (3.67). The same order of potency was observed at functional 5-HT1 receptors, at which GR 43175 acted as a full agonist, with the exception of the 5-HT1C receptor, where the compound was a weak antagonist (pEC50 or pKB values, -log mol/l, in parentheses): 5-HT1D (6.28) greater than 5-HT1B (6.03) greater than 5-HT1A (5.57) much greater than 5-HT1C (4.25). The present data show that GR 43175 interacts preferentially as an agonist with 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors. Since 5-HT1B receptors have not yet been identified in human brain, it seems possible that it is the 5-HT1D receptor which is relevant to the reported antimigraine effects of this compound.

The existence of two different functional receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was first proposed by Gaddum and Picarelli. Aided by the development of radioligand binding techniques, the heterogeneity of 5-HT receptors has become more apparent in the past ten years. There are three main types of 5-HT receptors: 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3. Moreover, 5-HT1 is heterogenous and can be divided into 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C and 5-HT1D subtypes. 5-HT1B is probably related to the 5-HT autoreceptor controlling 5-HT release. Multiple 5-HT receptors are differentially distributed throughout the brain, and the agonist-receptor interaction is altered by physical parameters and chemicals, suggesting that the receptors may be physiologically relevant. Three 5-HT receptor subtypes, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1C and 5-HT2, have been cloned. All three receptors contain approximately 450 amino acids arrayed as seven transmembrane domains. 5-HT1 and 5-HT1A are coupled to adenylate cyclase positively and negatively, respectively, while 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 are coupled positively to phospholipase C. 5-HT1A is also coupled to the opening of K+ channels in hippocampal pyramidal cells. A number of 5-HT-induced physiological responses have been shown to correlate with the 5-HT receptor subtypes. Based on a number of pharmacological studies, it seems likely that the mode of action of certain psychotropic drugs is closely related to the activity of central 5-HT receptors.

5-Hydroxytryptamine1B (5-HT1B) receptor mediated-inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in rat substantia nigra was characterized pharmacologically and compared to 5-HT1D receptor mediated-inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in calf substantia nigra. Special attention was paid to the effects of drugs known to bind with high affinity to 5-HT1B (pindolol, propranolol, cyanopindolol, SDZ 21-009, isamoltane) or 5-HT1D recognition sites (yohimbine, rauwolscine). pEC50 or pKB values of a variety of 5-HT-receptor ligands (6 agonists including 5-HT, and 12 antagonists) for the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in rat substantia nigra, correlated significantly to the corresponding pKD values at 5-HT1B binding sites (r = 0.90, P = 0.0001). Amongst the alpha 2- and beta-adrenoceptor antagonists tested, none of the drugs expressed more than 35% of the intrinsic activity of 5-HT at 5-HT1B receptors. When tested as antagonists, their pKB values were in good agreement with their pKD values for 5-HT1B sites. By contrast, these drugs displayed marked intrinsic activity at 5-HT1D receptors: their pEC50 values were close to their pKD values for 5-HT1D sites and their effects could be potently antagonized by methiothepin. The rank orders of potency of the tested compounds at 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D were markedly different. The results strengthen the identity between 5-HT receptors mediating inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in rat and calf substantia nigra and 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D binding sites, respectively. They underline the differences between these receptors in terms of intrinsic activities and potencies of drugs.

The effects of several putative 5-HT1 receptor-subtype selective ligands were investigated in biochemical models for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, and 5-HT1D receptors (inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in calf hippocampus, rat and calf substantia nigra, respectively) and 5-HT1C receptors (stimulation of inositol phosphates production in pig choroid plexus). Following compounds were studied: 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine), TFMPP (1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine), mCPP (1-(m-chlorophenyl)piperazine), CGS 12066 (7-trifluoromethyl-4-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a] quinoxaline 1), isamoltane (CGP 361A, 1-(2-(1-pyrrolyl)-phenoxy)-3-isopropylamino-2-propranol), quipazine, 1-NP (1-(1-naphthyl)piperazine), and PAPP (LY165163, 1-[2-(4-aminophenyl)ethyl]-4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)- piperazine). Among reported 5-HT1B receptor selective drugs, TFMPP had similar potency at 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and 5-HT1C receptors, mCPP did not separate between 5-HT1B and 5-HT1C receptors, CGS 12066 was equipotent at 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors, and isamoltane was only slightly 5-HT1B versus 5-HT1A selective. Quipazine showed equal potency at 5-HT1B and 5-HT1C receptors and 1-NP did not discriminate between the four receptor subtypes. PAPP described as 5-HT1A receptor selective, was equally potent at 5-HT1A and 5-HT1D receptors. The potencies determined in second messenger studies were in good agreement with the affinity values determined in radioligand binding studies. Thus 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C and 5-HT1D receptors have different pharmacological profiles as predicted from radioligand binding studies. Despite claims to the contrary, none of the tested compounds had actual selectivity for a given 5-HT1 receptor subtype.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effects of serotonin receptor agonists and antagonists on the electrically (3 Hz) evoked 3H overflow were determined on pig brain cortex slices preincubated with 3H-serotonin and superfused with physiological salt solution containing indalpine (an inhibitor of serotonin uptake) plus phentolamine. The potencies of the serotonin receptor agonists and antagonists were compared with their affinities for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, and 5-HT1D binding sites in pig or rat tissue membranes; in addition, the potencies of the agonists were compared to their potencies in inhibiting adenylate cyclase activity in membranes of calf substantia nigra. In the superfusion experiments on pig brain cortex slices the following rank orders of potencies were obtained: agonists, serotonin greater than 5-methoxytryptamine = 5-carboxamidotryptamine greater than RU 24969 (5-methoxy-3(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-indole) greater than SDZ 21009 (4(3-terbutylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)indol-2-carbonic-acid-isopr opylester) greater than or equal to yohimbine greater than or equal to cyanopindolol greater than 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin) greater than or equal to CGS 12066 B (7-trifluoromethyl-4(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline); ipsapirone and urapidil were ineffective; antagonists (antagonism determined against 5-methoxytryptamine as an agonist), metitepine greater than metergoline greater than mianserin. Propranolol, spiperone or mesulergine did not produce a shift of the concentration-response curve for 5-methoxytryptamine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1) The possibility was explored that the recently defined 5-HT1D binding sites could be negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase in calf substantia nigra. 2) 5-HT inhibited forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 value = 24.0 nmol/l, Emax = 22.7% inhibition) in the presence of GTP (10 mumol/l), which was required for this inhibitory effect. 3) The following 5-HT receptor agonists inhibited adenylate cyclase activity (in decreasing order of potency): 5-carboxamidotryptamine greater than 5-HT greater than 5-methoxytryptamine greater than 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl)-1H indole (RU 24969) greater than or equal to N,N-dipropyl-5-carboxamidotryptamine greater than 8-hydroxy-2(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) greater than buspirone greater than ipsapirone; the latter two compounds apparently behaved as partial agonists. 4) Other compounds displaying agonist activity in this system were: metergoline greater than methysergide greater than or equal to rauwolscine greater than or equal to cyanopindolol greater than or equal to yohimbine greater than (+/-)-4(3-tert-butyl-amino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-indol-2 carbonic acid isopropylester (21-009) greater than corynanthine. 5) Methiothepin, mianserin and spiperone displaced the concentration-effect curve of 5-HT to the right without depressing the Emax value. The same held true for the partial agonists ipsapirone, buspirone and corynanthine. 6) The rank order of potency of agonists as well as of antagonists in this system was in full agreement with their affinities at 5-HT1D binding site. A highly significant correlation was found between both parameters (r = 0.94, P = 0.0001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

5-HT receptors represent a superfamily of receptors with the largest known number of receptor subtypes. At present 15 receptor subtypes of three groups has been recognized. The 5-HT1 subfamily of receptors contains subtypes 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1E, and 5-HT1F; activation of all of them results in the inhibition of adenylylcyclase. The subfamily of 5-HT2 contains subtypes 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C; their activation leads to the stimulation of PLC. Finally, subfamily of miscellaneous 5-HT receptors contains subtypes 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT5, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7; some of them has been cloned, however, our knowledge on their function is still minimal. 5-HT receptors participate in many physiological functions and a disturbance in serotonergic neurotransmission might cause several types of disease. 5-HT plays an important role in depression; to cure this disease, drugs which increase levels of this neurotransmitter are used. A new drug group called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) has been recently discovered. These drugs block the reuptake of 5-HT into nerve endings. There is an intensive search for new selective agonists as well as antagonists which could be use not only in the classification of receptor subtypes but which also possess certain therapeutic potential.
