Radioligand binding studies were performed in membranes of rabbit whole brain and striatum using the novel iodinated radioligand for 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D sites, Serotonin-5-O-Carboxymethyl-Glycyl[125I]Tyrosinamide ([125I]GTI). [125I]GTI labelled a finite number of high affinity sites in rabbit brain membranes, Bmax = 191 +/- 47 fmol/mg protein, pKD (-log mol/l) = 8.50 +/- 0.13, n = 5. The pharmacological profile of [125I]GTI binding was fully comparable to that reported previously in human and other brain preparations known to possess 5-HT1D sites (using either [3H]5-HT or [125I]GTI) and displayed a characteristic rank order of affinity: 5-carboxamido-tryptamine greater than 5-HT = dihydroergotamine greater than or equal to ergotamine greater than or equal to sumatriptan greater than or equal to CGS 12066 greater than or equal to metergoline greater than yohimbine greater than or equal to methysergide greater than ICYP greater than 8-OH-DPAT greater than or equal to CP 93129 greater than (-)pindolol greater than ketanserin greater than isamoltane greater than mesulergine greater than corynanthine greater than buspirone greater than MDL 72222. Autoradiographic studies were performed on rabbit brain slices using [3H]5-HT in the presence of 100 nmol/l 8-OH-DPAT and mesulergine (in order to mask 5-HT1A and 5-HT1C binding sites) and [125I]CYP (iodocyanopindolol) in the presence of 3 mumol/l isoprenaline and 100 nmol/l 8-OH-DPAT (in order to mask beta adrenoceptor and 5-HT1A binding sites). There was no detectable specific binding of [125I]CYP through the brain, thus excluding the presence of 5-HT1B sites in rabbit brain.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effects of chronic treatment with imipramine or lithium on serotonin (5-HT) receptor subtypes were analyzed in the frontal cortex, hippocampus and choroid plexus of rat brain by quantitative receptor autoradiographic procedures, using radioligands [3H]-5-HT, [3H]-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin ([3H]-8-OH-DPAT), [125I]-iodocyanopindolol ([125I]-CYP), [3H]-mesulergine and [125I]-7-amino-8-iodo-ketanserin ([125I]-ketanserin) or [3H]-spiperone. Chronic i.p. administration of imipramine (20 mg/kg/day for 21 days) decreased the densities of 5-HT1, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 sites in the frontal cortex, hippocampus and choroid plexus. Lithium (2 mEq/kg/day for 21 days) also decreased the densities of 5-HT1, 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 sites in the frontal cortex, and the densities of those including 5-HT1A sites in the hippocampus and choroid plexus. Imipramine and lithium very markedly decreased the density of 5-HT1C sites in the choroid plexus. We propose that methods employing quantitative receptor autoradiographic analysis can be used to characterize and understand the local effects of these drugs on 5-HT receptor subtypes.

The pharmacological characteristics of the binding of [3H]8-OH-DPAT ([3H]8-hydroxy-2(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, [125I]CYP ((-)[125I]iodocyanopindolol) (in the presence of 30 microM (-)isoprenaline) and [3H]mesulergine to 5-HT1 recognition sites were studied in rat and pig brain membranes. [3H]8-OH-DPAT bound in rat and pig cortex to the 5-HT1A recognition site characterized by high affinity for 5-CT (5-carboxamido-tryptamine), 8-OH-DPAT, 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine, serotonin) and low affinity for pirenperone, ketanserin and mesulergine. [125I]CYP bound in rat but not in pig cortex to the 5-HT1B site which shows high affinity for (-)21-009 (4[3-ter-butyl-amino-2-hydroxy-propoxy]indol-2-carbonic acid isopropyl ester), (+/-)ICYP (3-I-cyanopindolol), 5-HT, RU 24969 (5-methoxy-3-[1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridon-4-yl]1H-indole) and low affinity for 8-OH-DPAT, mesulergine and pirenperone. [3H]Mesulergine bound in pig choroid plexus and in rat cortex (besides binding to 5-HT2 sites in rat cortex) to the 5-HT1C recognition site characterized by high affinity for metergoline, mesulergine, 5-HT and methergine and low affinity for (-)21-009, ICYP, 8-OH-DPAT and spiroperidol. The pharmacological profile of 5-HT1A sites in rat and pig cortex appears to be identical; 5-HT1C sites in pig choroid plexus and rat cortex show no differences. In contrast, it was not possible to label 5-HT1B sites with [125I]CYP in pig brain membranes indicating that like 5-HT2 receptors, 5-HT1 recognition sites show species differences. The pharmacological profiles of the three 5-HT1 recognition sites are clearly different from one another. Furthermore, the pharmacological profile of each individual 5-HT1 recognition site is also different from that of the 5-HT2 receptors labelled with [3H]ketanserin in rat cortex membranes although some similarities exist between 5-HT2 and 5-HT1C sites. Finally, the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist (-)21-009 which has different affinities for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and 5-HT1C recognition sites, yielded triphasic competition curves for [3H]5-HT binding in rat cortex membranes providing evidence that [3H]5-HT labels three distinct 5-HT1 sites in these membranes.

In rat brain cortex slices preincubated with [3H]5-HT, the potencies of 17 5-HT receptor agonists to inhibit the electrically evoked 3H overflow and the affinities of 13 antagonists (including several beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents) to antagonize competitively the inhibitory effect of unlabelled 5-HT on evoked 3H overflow were determined. The affinities of the compounds for 5-HT1B and 5-HT2 binding sites in rat brain cortex membranes (labelled by [125I]cyanopindolol = [125I]-CYP in the presence of 30 mumol/l isoprenaline and [3H]ketanserin, respectively), for 5-HT1A binding sites in pig and rat brain cortex membranes (labelled by [3H]8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin = [3H]8-OH-DPAT) and for 5-HT1C binding sites in pig choroid plexus membranes (labelled by [3H]mesulergine) were also determined. The affinities of the drugs for the various 5-HT recognition sites ranged over 4-5 log units (the functional experiments revealed the same range of differences between the drugs). There were no significant correlations between the affinities of the drugs at 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 binding sites and their potencies or affinities, determined for the 5-HT autoreceptors. In contrast, significant correlations were found between the potencies or affinities of the drugs for the autoreceptors and their affinities at 5-HT1A or 5-HT1B binding sites; the best correlations were obtained with the 5-HT1B binding site. Some of the drugs investigated were not included in the correlation since their agonistic or antagonistic effects on the autoreceptors were weak and pEC30 or apparent pA2 values could not be determined (less than 5.5).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Serotonin (5-HT) stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates of rat hippocampus. This effect was pharmacologically characterised with a series of agonists and antagonists of various structural classes. These compounds where also tested in radioligand binding studies using selective ligands for the various subtypes of 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors. 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and 5-HT1C recognition sites were labelled with [3H]8-OH-DPAT([3H]8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin) in pig cortex membranes, [125I]CYP([125I]iodocyanopindolol) in rat cortex and [3H]mesulergine in pig choroid plexus membranes, respectively. The rank order of potency of 13 agonists stimulating adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates of rat hippocampus was in good agreement with the rank order of affinity of these agonists for the 5-HT1A binding site: N,N-dipropyl-5-carboxamidotryptamine (DP-5-CT) greater than 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) greater than 8-OH-DPAT greater than 5-HT greater than 5-methoxytryptamine (5-OCH3T) greater than d-LSD greater than 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl)-1H-indole (RU 24969) greater than alpha-methylserotonin (alpha-CH3-5-HT) greater than dopamine greater than 2-methylserotonin (2-CH3-5-HT). The correlation between the respective potencies and affinities of these agonists was r = 0.934, P less than 0.001. There was no correlation between stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity by these agonists and their affinity for 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C or 5-HT2 binding sites. r = 0.381-0.108, P less than 0.20-0.73.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

(-)[125I]Iodocyanopindolol ([125I]CYP) labels rat brain membrane sites which display high affinity for several serotonergic and beta-adrenergic compounds. The binding of [125I]CYP to these serotonergic recognition sites was evaluated in the presence of 30 microM (-)isoprenaline in order to suppress binding to beta-adrenoceptors. [125I]CYP binds in rat cortex membranes rapidly, reversibly and stereoselectively to a finite number of recognition sites: Bmax = 180 fmol/mg, KD = 230 pM. Similar affinity values of [125I]CYP were obtained in membranes from rat hippocampus and striatum. Kinetic, saturation and competition experiments suggest that under these conditions [125I]CYP binds to a single serotonergic recognition site named 5-HT1B. The pharmacological profile of 5-HT1B sites is characteristic of a 5-HT1 binding site and shows the following rank order of affinity for agonists: RU 24969, (5-methoxy-3-[1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl]1H-indole) greater than 5-CT, (5-carboxamidotryptamine) greater than 5-HT, (5-hydroxytryptamine, serotonin) greater than 5-OCH3-T, (5-methoxytryptamine) much greater than 2-CH3-5-HT, (2-methylserotonin) greater than 8-OH-DPAT, (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-pro-pylamino)-tetralin). The rank order of affinity for antagonists is: (+/-)ICYP, ((+/- )-3-I-cyano-pindolol) greater than (-)21-009, (4-[3-ter-butyl-amino-2-hydroxy-propoxy]-indol-2-carbonic acid isopropyl ester) greater than (+)21-009 greater than (-)propranolol greater than metitepin greater than (-)pindolol much greater than ketanserin greater than spiroperidol greater than mesulergine. 5-HT1B recognition sites display low affinity for selective beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonists, e.g. atenolol, betaxolol, ICI 89-406 and ICI 118-551. The low affinity of 5-HT1B recognition sites for some 5-HT1A, 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 selective compounds (e.g. 8-OH-DPAT, mesulergine, ketanserin) suggests that 5-HT1B recognition sites are pharmacologically different from 5-HT1A, 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 recognition sites.

The presence, pharmacological properties and anatomical distribution of serotonin-1A and serotonin-1B receptor subtypes were studied in the human brain by both radioligand binding assays and autoradiographic procedures. Frontal cortices and hippocampi from human brains obtained at autopsy without evidence of neurological disease were used in this study. [3H]5-HT was used to label both 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptor subtypes. 5-HT1A receptors were selectively labeled by [3H]8-hydroxy-2[di-N-propylamino]tetralin, while 5-HT1B receptors were labeled by (-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol ([125I]CYP) in the presence of 30 microM isoprenaline. The pharmacological profile of 5-HT1A receptors in human brain tissue was very similar to those previously found in rat and pig brain tissues. The general anatomical distribution of these sites was also similar to that found in the rat brain, although some differences were observed when analyzed at the microscopic level. In contrast to 5-HT1A receptors, it was not possible to identify 5-HT receptors having the pharmacological properties of 5-HT1B sites in the human brain, using either [3H]5-HT or [125I]CYP as ligands. The absence of identifiable 5-HT1B receptors in human brain preparations, a fact previously found in pig brain tissue, is discussed in terms of the existence of species differences in brain serotonin receptors.

The present study investigates the inactivation and recovery of brain serotonin (5-HT) recognition sites by EEDQ (N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2,-dihydroquinoline). Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single s.c. injection of vehicle (1:1 EtOH/H2O) or EEDQ (1-20 mg kg-1) and sacrificed at 4 h and 7 days (10 mg kg-1 dose) post-injection. EEDQ dose-dependently reduced the Bmax of 5-HT1A(3H-DPAT),5-HT1B(125I-CYP),5-HT2(3H-ketanserin) and 5-HT2/1C(125I-DOI) receptors in cortical homogenates. In contrast, EEDQ was without effect on the 5-HT transporter recognition site (3H-paroxetine). No significant changes in affinity were observed for 5-HT1B, 5-HT2 or 5-HT2/1C receptors. The rank order of sensitivity to EEDQ inactivation was: 5-HT1A > 5-HT1B > 5-HT2 approximately 5-HT2/1C >>> 5-HT uptake sites. This study demonstrates: (1) differential EEDQ inactivation and recovery of 5-HT receptors and (2) lack of EEDQ inactivation of the 5-HT transporter.

The opossum kidney (OK) cell line has been shown previously to express endogenous 5-HT1B receptors which negatively couple to adenylate cyclase. Since other Gi-linked receptors have been shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase and to elevate intracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i), studies were initiated to determine whether native opossum 5-HT1B receptors could also display dual coupling to these signal transduction mechanisms. Saturation studies using [125I](-)-iodocyanopindolol ([125I]CYP) to radiolabel the 5-HT1B receptor in OK cell membranes (in the presence of 3 microM (-)-isoproterenol to mask beta-adrenergic receptors) yielded an equilibrium dissociation constant (pKd) of 10.04 and binding site density (Bmax) of 55 fmol/mg protein. Exposure of intact OK cells to 5-HT, CP 93,129, a selective rodent 5-HT1B receptor agonist, and (+/-)-cyanopindolol, a mixed 5-HT1A/1B receptor agonist/antagonist, produced concentration-dependent inhibitions of forskolin (3 MM)-stimulated cAMP accumulation (FSCA; Emax=90-95%) and elevations of [Ca2+]i (Emax approximately 200 nM increase above basal levels). Agonist potencies (pEC50) ranged from 9.7 to 8.1 and were comparable between the two second messenger assays, although slightly higher agonist potencies (approximately three-fold) were observed in the cAMP assay. GR 127,935, a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist, behaved as a strong partial agonist in both the cAMP and calcium assays, with an intrinsic activity of 0.7 relative to 5-HT. Methiothepin, a nonselective 5-HT receptor antagonist, competitively antagonized the inhibitory cAMP response elicited by CP 93,129, yielding an apparent pKb value of 7.3. Methiothepin (10 microM) completely antagonized the stimulatory calcium response evoked by a saturating concentration of CP 93,129 (100 nM). Pertussis toxin pretreatment blocked the CP 93,129-induced inhibition of FSCA and elevation of [Ca2+]i in OK cells, indicating the involvement of Gi/o proteins in transducing these second messenger responses. The agonist properties of (+/-)-cyanopindolol and GR 127,935 observed in both second messenger assays suggests that a large degree of receptor reserve may be present, even though 5-HT1B receptor expression is low in OK cells. The OK cell line continues to serve as a model system to investigate 5-HT1B receptor-mediated signaling events.

The novel antidepressant mirtazapine has a dual mode of action. It is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA) that acts by antagonizing the adrenergic alpha2-autoreceptors and alpha2-heteroreceptors as well as by blocking 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors. It enhances, therefore, the release of norepinephrine and 5-HT1A-mediated serotonergic transmission. This dual mode of action may conceivably be responsible for mirtazapine's rapid onset of action. Mirtazapine is extensively metabolized in the liver. The cytochrome (CYP) P450 isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 are mainly responsible for its metabolism. Using once daily dosing, steady-state concentrations are reached after 4 days in adults and 6 days in the elderly. In vitro studies suggest that mirtazapine is unlikely to cause clinically significant drug-drug interactions. Dry mouth, sedation, and increases in appetite and body weight are the most common adverse effects. In contrast to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), mirtazapine has no sexual side effects. The antidepressant efficacy of mirtazapine was established in several placebo-controlled trials. In major depression, its efficacy is comparable to that of amitriptyline, clomipramine, doxepin, fluoxetine, paroxetine, citalopram, or venlafaxine. Mirtazapine also appears to be useful in patients suffering from depression comorbid with anxiety symptoms and sleep disturbance. It seems to be safe and effective during long-term use.
