The effects of a serotonin (5-HT) releasing drug, p-chloroamphetamine, on plasma glucose levels were investigated in rats. p-Chloroamphetamine elicited a significant hyperglycemia. The hyperglycemic effects of p-chloroamphetamine were completely prevented by the 5-HT synthesis inhibitor, p-chlorophenylalanine. Prior adrenodemedullation abolished the hyperglycemia elicited by p-chloroamphetamine. p-Chloroamphetamine-induced hyperglycemia was prevented by methysergide, which blocks the 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptor, the 5-HT1A/1B/2C receptor antagonist, (-)-propranolol, the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, 4-(2'-methoxyphenyl-1-[2'-n-2"pyridinyl)-p-iodobenzamido]-ethyl-pi perazine (p-MPPI), the 5-HT2A/2B/2C receptor antagonists, ritanserin and 4-isopropyl-7-methyl-9-(2-hydroxy-1-methyl-propoxycarbonyl)-4,6A,7 ,8,9,10,10A-octahydro-indolo[4,3-FG]quinolone maleate(LY 53857). However, the 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, tropisetron, the 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, 2-methoxy-4-amino-5-chloro-benzoic acid 2-(diethylamino) ethyl ester (SDZ 205-557), and the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, ketanserin, did not affect the p-chloroamphetamine-induced hyperglycemia. These results suggest that p-chloroamphetamine-induced hyperglycemia is elicited by an enhanced 5-HT release and facilitated adrenaline release. Moreover, our results indicate that p-chloroamphetamine-induced hyperglycemia is mediated by 5-HT1A and 5-HT2B/2C receptors.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists improve glucose disposal in diabetes mellitus. We compared the effect of the antihypertensive hybrid drug urapidil [alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist serotonin 1A (5-hydroxytryptamine 1A, 5-HT1A) receptor agonist] on hyperglycemia in streptozotocin diabetic rats with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ramipril. 5-HT1A receptor agonists induce hyperglycemia. This could be an important disadvantage during treatment of diabetes mellitus with urapidil. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (70 mg/kg i.p.). Treatment for 7 days (ramipril 10 mg/kg p.o.; urapidil 20 mg/kg p.o.) significantly decreased mean blood glucose values (urapidil: 15.7+/-0.9 mmol/l, P=0.007; ramipril: 15.0+/-0.8 mmol/l, P=0.038 vs. diabetic control group: 18.7+/-1.0 mmol/l). Both drugs reduced significantly blood pressure, urinary glucose, water consumption, and food requirement. Serotonin concentration in the brain (medulla oblongata, pituitary) was not affected. A normalization comparable with healthy control rats was observed only in a diabetic control group with insulin therapy. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that the antihypertensive drug urapidil has no detrimental effect on hyperglycemia compared with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ramipril in experimental diabetes mellitus despite its 5-HT1A receptor agonistic properties.

Effects of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-di-n-(propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) on plasma glucagon levels were investigated. 8-OH-DPAT increased plasma glucose and glucagon levels in rats. Both hyperglycemia and hyperglucagonemia elicited by 8-OH-DPAT were prevented by the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist pindolol and prior adrenodemedullation. These results suggest that increases in plasma glucagon levels induced by 8-OH-DPAT were based on the adrenaline release from the adrenal gland and its effects may contribute to its hyperglycemic effects.

BACKGROUND: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a major limitation of older antipsychotics. Newer antipsychotics have various other side effects such as weight gain, hyperglycemia, etc. In a previous study we have shown that an indolamine molecule expresses a moderate binding affinity at the dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors in in vitro competition binding assays. In the present work, we tested its p-toluenesulfonyl derivative (TPBIA) for behavioral effects in rats, related to interactions with central dopamine receptors and its antioxidant activity. METHODS: Adult male Fischer-344 rats grouped as: i) Untreated rats: TPBIA was administered i.p. in various doses ii) Apomorphine-treated rats: were treated with apomorphine (1 mg kg-1, i.p.) 10 min after the administration of TPBIA. Afterwards the rats were placed individually in the activity cage and their motor behaviour was recorded for the next 30 min The antioxidant potential of TPBIA was investigated in the model of in vitro non enzymatic lipid peroxidation. RESULTS: i) In non-pretreated rats, TPBIA reduces the activity by 39 and 82% respectively, ii) In apomorphine pretreated rats, TPBIA reverses the hyperactivity and stereotype behaviour induced by apomorphine. Also TPBIA completely inhibits the peroxidation of rat liver microsome preparations at concentrations of 0.5, 0.25 and 0.1 mM. CONCLUSION: TPBIA exerts dopamine antagonistic activity in the central nervous system. In addition, its antioxidant effect is a desirable property, since TD has been partially attributed, to oxidative stress. Further research is needed to test whether TPBIA may be used as an antipsychotic agent.

Several novel antipsychotics activate serotonin 5-HT1A receptors as well as antagonising dopamine D2/3 receptors. Such a pharmacological profile is associated with a lowered liability to produce extrapyramidal side effects and enhanced efficacy in treating negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia. However, 5-HT1A receptor agonists increase plasma corticosterone and many antipsychotics disturb the regulation of glucose. Here, we compared the influence on plasma glucose and corticosterone of acute treatments with 'new generation' antipsychotics which target dopamine D2/3 receptors and 5-HT1A receptors, with that of atypical antipsychotics, and with haloperidol. Olanzapine and clozapine, antipsychotics that are known to produce weight gain and diabetes in humans, both at 10 mg/kg p.o., substantially increased plasma glucose (from 0.8 to 1.7 g/l) at 1 h after administration, an effect that returned to control levels after 4 h. In comparison, F15063 (40 mg/kg p.o.) was without effect at any time point. Olanzapine and clozapine dose-dependently increased plasma glucose concentrations as did SLV313 and SSR181507. Haloperidol and risperidone had modest effects whereas aripiprazole, ziprasidone and bifeprunox, antipsychotics that are not associated with metabolic dysfunction in humans, and F15063 had little or no influence on plasma glucose. The same general pattern of response was found for plasma corticosterone levels. The present data provide the first comparative study of conventional, atypical and 'new generation' antipsychotics on glucose and corticosterone levels in rats. A variety of mechanisms likely underlie the hyperglycemia and corticosterone release observed with clozapine and olanzapine, whilst the balance of dopamine D2/3/5-HT1A interaction may contribute to the less favourable impact of SLV313 and SSR181507 compared with that of bifeprunox and F15063.
