1. The effects of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), a 5-HT1A receptor agonist, on place navigation was studied by use of two spatial tasks in a water maze. 2. In the first experiment, rats treated subcutaneously with 100 and 300 (but not 30) micrograms kg-1 8-OH-DPAT were impaired in their ability to locate a hidden platform. The probe test confirmed the impairment of spatial navigation but the effect (time spent in the training quadrant) was quantitatively different, depending on whether 8-OH-DPAT was administered only before each training session, only before the probe test or in both conditions. 3. In the second experiment, rats received 150 micrograms 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) intracerebroventricularly to destroy 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-containing neurones and 24 days later were examined for choice accuracy in a two-platform spatial discrimination task. 4. At 100 (but not 30) micrograms kg-1 8-OH-DPAT impaired rats' accuracy with no effect on latency and no errors of omission. In 5,7-DHT-treated rats, this dose had a greater effect, including errors of omission. Sham-operated rats injected with 300 micrograms kg-1 8-OH-DPAT were markedly impaired in accuracy but they had longer latencies and made more errors than controls. All the effects were increased in 5,7-DHT treated rats. 5. The results suggest that, at doses causing no apparent changes in motor behaviour or motivation, 8-OH-DPAT impairs spatial navigation by stimulating postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors in the rat brain.

The effect of repeated treatment (5 and 10 mg/kg, po, twice daily, 14 days) with sertraline and citalopram (antidepressants which selectively inhibit the reuptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) on the responsiveness of different 5-HT receptors to their agonists, was examined in rats and mice. Sertraline and citalopram (both at a dose 5 and 10 mg/kg) antagonized (the first one more potently) the hypothermia induced in mice by 8-OH-DPAT (a 5-HT1A agonist), but not the behavioural syndrome induced in rats by this substance. The m-chlorophenylpiperazine-induced hypothermia in mice (a 5-HT1B effect) was increased by sertraline and citalopram (only in a dose of 10 mg/kg). Both antidepressants, given repeatedly (as well acutely) attenuated exploratory hypoactivity induced in rats by m-chlorophenylpiperazine (a 5-HT1C effect). L-5-HTP-induced head twitches in mice (5-HT2 effect) were antagonized dose-dependently by both repeated sertraline and citalopram. Both antidepressants (citalopram only in higher dose) reduced the fenfluramine-induced hyperthermia in rats (5-HT2 effect). The results indicate that sertraline and citalopram given repeatedly decrease the responsiveness of 5-HT1A (presynaptic) and 5-HT2 receptors but increase the responsiveness of 5-HT1B receptors to respective agonists.

The human 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT1A receptor gene was transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells. A series of recombinant monoclonal cell lines expressing the receptor were isolated and the properties of one cell line that expressed receptors at a high level (2.8 pmol/mg) were studied in detail. In ligand binding assays with the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist 2-(NN-di[3H]propylamino)-8-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene ([3H]8-OH-DPAT) only a single class of saturable high-affinity binding sites was detected, with a pharmacological profile in competition experiments essentially identical to that of the 5-HT1A receptor of bovine hippocampus. [3H]8-OH-DPAT binding to the recombinant cell membranes was inhibited by GTP, showing that the receptors in the transfected cells couple to G-proteins. A series of 5-hydroxytryptamine agonists inhibited forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in the cells and, despite the high level of receptor expression, their apparent efficacies were similar to those observed for inhibition of adenylate cyclase in brain. This recombinant cell line provides a complete model system for studying the 5-HT1A receptor and its transmembrane signalling system. The recombinant cells can also be grown in suspension culture for long periods but, whereas 5-HT1A receptor numbers and receptor regulation by guanine nucleotides are maintained in suspension-grown cells, the inhibition of adenylate cyclase by the 5-HT1A receptor is gradually lost.

1. The 5-HT1A ligand BMY 7378 (8-[2[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]8-azaspirol [4,5]-decane-7,9-dione dihydrochloride, 0.032-2 mg kg-1, s.c.) caused hyperphagia, a response to the activation of presynaptic 5-HT1A receptors. 2. BMY 7378 (8 mg kg-1, s.c.) and the 5-HT1A agonist (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), 0.10 and 0.25 mg kg-1 s.c.) also caused hypothermia. This was inhibited by (-)-pindolol (1-mg kg-1, i.p.) and not prevented by pretreatments with p-chlorophenylalanine which grossly depleted 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) from terminal regions. The hypothermic effects are explicable by activation of postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors. Infusion of BMY 7378 (8-64 micrograms) into the dorsal raphe was without convincing hypothermic effect. 3. BMY 7378 (8 mg kg-1, s.c.) inhibited another effect of activation of postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, i.e., the induction of components of the 5-HT syndrome by 8-OH-DPAT (0.5, 1.0 mg kg-1, s.c.) which suggests that BMY 7378 has antagonistic as well as agonistic effects at these sites. 4. Partial agonist properties of BMY 7378 at postsynaptic sites were also indicated by doses for hypothermia being much greater than those for hyperphagia i.e., ED50 (hypothermia) greater than 2 mg kg-1, ED50 (hyperphagia) = 0.010 mg kg-1. This contrasts with the similar ED50 values for both the hypothermic (ED50 = 0.08-0.10 mg kg-1) and hyperphagic (ED50 = 0.06-0.10 mg kg-1) effects of 8-OH-DPAT.5. The evidence obtained for mediation of the hypothermic response to 5-HTIA agonists by postsynaptic sites is relevant to the interpretation of the effects on it of antidepressant treatments and depressive illness.

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor agonists on histamine turnover in mouse and rat brains were examined. The histamine turnover rate was estimated from the accumulation of tele-methylhistamine 90 min after i.p. injection of pargyline (65 mg/kg). In whole mouse brains, the histamine turnover was significantly inhibited by the 5-HT1A agonists, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (greater than 0.5 mg/kg) and buspirone (greater than 2 mg/kg) injected s.c. 10 min before pargyline treatment. 5-hydroxytryptophan (20 mg/kg) also significantly inhibited histamine turnover. Injections of the 5-HT1B agonist m-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (10 and 20 mg/kg) or the 5-HT2 agonist (1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (1, 2 and 5 mg/kg), however, did not affect histamine turnover. The inhibitory effect of 8-OH-DPAT (1 mg/kg) on histamine turnover was significantly antagonized (by 40%) by pindolol (20 mg/kg) and slightly antagonized (by 29%) by spiperone (10 mg/kg), while methysergide (20 mg/kg) and ketanserin (10 mg/kg) demonstrated no antagonistic effects. 8-OH-DPAT (0.3 and 1 mg/kg) also showed an inhibiting effect on histamine turnover in various regions of rat brains. Although the extent of inhibition was slightly larger in the striatum and cerebral cortex, there was no marked regional difference. These results suggest that histaminergic activity in the brain is regulated by 5-HT1A receptors.

Sleep and waking in rats were studied for 8 h following administration of a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (zimeldine), a putative 5-HT1A antagonist (L(-)-alprenolol hydrogene tartrate monohydrate [(-)-alprenolol]) and a combination of (-)-alprenolol and zimeldine. Consistent with earlier findings, zimeldine gave a biphasic effect on sleep and waking. Waking was increased during the first 3 h, followed by a small decrease. Deep slow-wave sleep (SWS-2) showed the opposite trend. An initial decrease in SWS-2 was followed by an increase after around 3 h. Rapid eye movement sleep was markedly suppressed and latencies to sleep increased after zimeldine. (-)-Alprenolol had no effects on the different sleep and waking stages or latencies to sleep. The 5-HT1A antagonist also failed to modify the effects of zimeldine administration. The behavioral syndrome induced by a selective 5-HT1A agonist [8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propyl-amino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT)] was clearly antagonized by administration of (-)-alprenolol, indicating that (-)-alprenolol was an efficient 5-HT1A blocker. The data indicate that the sleep-waking effects of zimeldine cannot easily be explained by stimulation of 5-HT1A receptors.

1. The actions of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and some 5-HT1A receptor ligands on neurones in the rat dorso-lateral septal nucleus were recorded in vitro by intracellular recording techniques. 2. In the presence of tetrodotoxin (1 microM) to block any indirect effects, bath application of 5-HT (0.3-30 microM) hyperpolarized the neurones in a concentration-dependent manner and reduced membrane resistance. The hyperpolarization did not exhibit desensitization and was sometimes followed by a small depolarization. 3. The 5-HT1A receptor ligands, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), N,N-dipropyl-5-carboxamidotryptamine (DP-5-CT) and buspirone but not the non-selective 5-HT1 receptor agonist, 1-m-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP), also hyperpolarized the neurones. 4. 5-HT, 8-OH-DPAT and DP-5-CT appeared to act as full agonists whereas buspirone behaved as a partial agonist. The estimated EC50S were: DP-5-CT 15 nM, 8-OH-DPAT 110 nM, 5-HT 3 microM and buspirone 110 nM. 5. At a concentration of 3 microM, the putative 5-HT1A receptor antagonists, spiperone, methiothepin, NAN-190 (1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-pthalimido)butyl]piperazine) and MDL 73005EF (8-[2-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl-methylamino)ethyl]-8- azaspiro[4,5]decane-7,9-dione methyl sulphonate), produced a parallel rightward shift in the concentration-response curve to 5-HT with no significant reduction in the maximum response. The estimated pA2 values were: NAN-190 6.79, MDL 73005EF 6.59, spiperone 6.54 and methiothepin 6.17.6. The 5-HT2/5-HTlc receptor antagonist, ketanserin (3 microM) and the 5HT3 receptor antagonist, tropisetron (3 microM) did not antagonize the 5-HT-induced hyperpolarizations; however, ketanserin blocked the depolarization which sometimes followed the hyperpolarization.7. It is concluded that the 5-HT-induced membrane hyperpolarization of rat dorso-lateral septal neurones is mediated by 5-HTA receptors.

Pigeons were trained to discriminate i.m. injections of the atypical antipsychotic clozapine (1.0 mg/kg) from saline in a two-key operant procedure. In substitution tests, compounds that shared antagonistic action at 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1C and 5-HT2 receptors produced discriminative stimulus effects similar to clozapine: cyproheptadine, metergoline, mianserin, pizotifen and fluperlapine. 5-HT antagonists selective for 5-HT2 vs. 5-HT1C receptors (e.g., ketanserin, pirenperone, risperidone and methiothepin) failed to produce substantial clozapine-appropriate responding. Other serotonergic compounds failed to produce substantial clozapine-appropriate responding: the 5-HT3 antagonist, ondansetron; the 5-HT1A agonists, (+-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin and BMY 14802; the 5-HT1A/1B agonist, RU24969; the 5-HT1A partial agonist, NAN190; the 5-HT1C/2 antagonist, mesulergine; the 5-HT1 agonist, I-5-hydroxytryptophane; and the 5-HT1C/2 agonist, quipazine. Other reference compounds such as the typical antipsychotics, chlorpromazine and thioridazine; the selective dopamine D-2 antagonists, droperidol and sulpiride; the dopamine D-1 antagonist, SCH 23390; the antimuscarinics, atropine and scopolamine; the antihistamines, pyrilamine and diphenhydramine; the alpha-1 antagonist, prazosin; and the antidepressants, imipramine and chloromipramine also failed to produce clozapine-appropriate responding. Promethazine, cinanserin and amitriptyline produced only partial generalization to the clozapine cue. The results suggest that blockade of both 5-HT2 and/or 5-HT1C receptors is important in the pharmacological mediation of the discriminative stimulus effects of clozapine. Blockade of 5-HT2 receptors appears not to be sufficient to produce clozapine-like discriminative stimulus effects. The precise role of 5-HT1C receptors in the clozapine discriminative stimulus is unclear due to the lack of compounds selective for this receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) hyperpolarizes hippocampal pyramidal cells in both areas CA1 and CA3 through an increase in potassium conductance. The receptor mediating the hyperpolarization in CA1 has been characterized as the 5-HT1A receptor, but has not been identified in area CA3. Intracellular recording techniques were used to record from CA1 and CA3 pyramidal cells in a hippocampal slice preparation. 5-HT agonists and antagonists were applied in known concentrations by bath perfusion. Antagonists were tested alone and for their ability to block the hyperpolarization elicited by 5-HT. The 5-HT1 agonist 5-carboxyamidotryptamine and 5-HT were full agonists and the 5-HT1A-selective ligand 8-hydroxydipropyl-aminotetralin hydrobromide was a partial agonist in both CA3 and CA1. The rank order potency was 5-carboxyamidotryptamine > 8-hydroxydipropyl-aminotetralin hydrobromide > 5-HT for both regions. The agonists were a half-log unit less potent and the maximum response elicited by 5-carboxyamidotryptamine and 5-HT was greater in area CA3 than in area CA1. The selective 5-HT1A antagonist BMY 7378 and the 5-HT1A/2 antagonist spiperone were competitive in area CA1, but insurmountable in area CA3. Other 5-HT antagonists that were not effective in blocking the 5-HT-mediated hyperpolarization included ketanserin, odansetron and BRL 24924. Based on these results, we conclude that the hyperpolarization elicited by 5-HT in areas CA1 and CA3 is mediated by the 5-HT1A receptor. However, there are significant differences in the nature of the 5-HT1A receptor-mediated hyperpolarization that may be attributed to differences in receptor-effector number, receptor-effector coupling and/or the structure of the recognition site.

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)
