Rats were trained to discriminate the 5-HT receptor agonist m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP; 1 mg/kg) from saline using a two-lever, water-reinforced drug discrimination task. The antidepressant trazodone (1-8 mg/kg), the 5-HT1B/2C receptor agonists 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP; 0.25-1 mg/kg) and MK 212 (0.125-1 mg/kg), and the mixed 5-HT1A/B receptor agonist RU 24969 (0.25-2 mg/kg) substituted fully for mCPP. The 5-HT2A/2C receptor agonists 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI; 0.25-1 mg/kg) and d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD; 0.02-0.08 mg/kg) and the 5-HT releaser fenfluramine (0.5-2 mg/kg) also mimicked mCPP. Agonists selective for the 5-HT1A or 5-HT3 receptor or the 5-HT reuptake site produced saline-lever responding. The ergoline derivative mesulergine (0.5-4 mg/kg) produced a partial agonist/antagonist profile. The 5-HT1/2 receptor antagonist metergoline (0.125-1 mg/kg) completely blocked the mCPP cue whereas the 5-HT2A/2C receptor antagonists ketanserin and LY 53857 as well as all other 5-HT receptor antagonists failed to block the mCPP cue. The dopamine receptor antagonists SCH 23390 and haloperidol were also ineffective mCPP antagonists. Following pretreatment with the 5-HT synthesis inhibitor p-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA; 100 mg/kg/day) for 3 consecutive days, the discriminability of low doses of mCPP increased, whereas the effects of fenfluramine decreased. The present results suggest that the discriminative stimulus effects of mCPP in rats are mediated primarily by postsynaptic 5-HT2C receptors.

Eight White Carneau pigeons were trained to discriminate 1.0 or 1.7 mg/kg of cocaine from saline. A fixed number of consecutive key peck responses on one key after the administration of cocaine resulted in 4-sec access to mixed grain. The same number of consecutive responses on the other key after saline also produced food. Different doses of cocaine and other drugs were tested to determine their ability to substitute (80% or more responding on the cocaine-appropriate key). The test drugs were selected to determine the selectivity of the cocaine discrimination in pigeons as well the role of different monoamines in mediating this behavioral effect. The drugs included other psychomotor stimulants, antidepressants, clonidine, yohimbine, other dopamine (1-(2-[bis(4-fluoro-phenyl)-methoxy]ethyl)4-3-phenylpropyl piperazine, GBR 12909) and serotonin (5-HT, sertraline) reuptake blockers, a D1 (SKF 75670), D2 (quinpirole), and 5-HT1A (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, 8-OH-DPAT) agonist as well as the 5-HT3 antagonists, MDL 72222, LY 278584 and ondansetron. In addition, prazosin, an alpha 1 adrenergic antagonist, SCH 23390, a D1 antagonist; raclopride, a D2 antagonist and 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimmido)butyl]piperazine (NAN-190), a putative 5-HT1A antagonist, were given in combination with cocaine to determine their ability to block the discriminative stimulus (DS) effects of cocaine, i.e., reduce drug-appropriate responding to 20% or less. The psychomotor stimulants, d-amphetamine and d-methamphetamine, completely substituted for cocaine and were similar in potency to each other and cocaine. The antidepressants I-deprenyl, imipramine, tomoxetine and bupropion also occasioned cocaine-appropriate responding.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. The behavioural effects of the 5-HT1B receptor agonists, RU 24969 and CGS 12066B, have been investigated in C57/B1/6 mice. 2. RU 24969 (1-30 mg kg-1) produced intense and prolonged hyperlocomotion and other behavioural changes. 3. CGS 12066B caused similar effects, but they were much less pronounced, inconsistent and transient irrespective of whether this drug was given i.p. (1-15 mg kg-1) or i.c.v. (0.2-40 micrograms). However, CGS 12066B (7.5 and 15 mg kg-1) caused a dose-related inhibition of RU 24969 (7.5 mg kg-1)-induced hyperlocomotion indicating that the former is a 5-HT1B partial agonist. 4. RU 24969 (7.5 mg kg-1 i.p.)-induced hyperlocomotion was inhibited by the (-)-, but not (+)-isomers of pindolol (4 mg kg-1) and propranolol (20 mg kg-1) but not by metoprolol (10 mg kg-1) or ICI 118,551 (5 mg kg-1), consistent with an involvement of 5-HT1A or 5-HT1B receptors. 5. The response was not altered by the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, WAY 100135 (5 mg kg-1, s.c.), the 5-HT2A/5-HT2C receptor antagonist, ritanserin (0.1 mg kg-1), the selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ondansetron (1 mg kg-1) or the non-selective 5-HT receptor antagonists methysergide (3 mg kg-1) and metergoline (3 mg kg-1). 6. Although spiroxatrine (0.1 mg kg-1) and ketanserin (1 mg kg-1) inhibited RU 24969-induced hyperlocomotion, these effects were probably due to antagonism of dopamine D2 receptors and alpha 1-adrenoceptors respectively. 7. Taken together, these results indicate that RU 24969-induced hyperlocomotion results specifically from activation of central 5-HTIB receptors.8. Lesioning of 5-HT neurones with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (75 microg, i.c.v.) or depletion with pchlorophenylalanine(200 mg kg-1, i.p. for 14 days) had no effect on RU 24969-induced hyperlocomotiondemonstrating that the 5-HTIB receptors involved are postsynaptic and that they do not show super sensitivity.9. The involvement of other monoamine neurotransmitter systems in RU 24969-induced hyperlocomotionwas also examined. The response was inhibited by the al-adrenoceptor antagonist, prazosin(1 mg kg-1), the dopamine DI receptor antagonist, SCH 23390 (0.05 mg kg-1) and the dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, BRL 34778 (0.03 mg kg-1), but not by the M2-adrenoceptor antagonist, idazoxan(1 mg kg-1). Lesioning noradrenergic neurones with N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine(100 mg kg-1) markedly attenuated this behaviour. These results show that the hyperlocomotion is expressed via noradrenergic and dopaminergic neurones acting on alpha 1-adrenoceptors, DI and D2 receptors.10. RU 24969 decreased brain concentrations of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid whilst simultaneously increasing 5-HT, consistent with the reduction of 5-HT neuronal activity by activation of 5-HTlA and 5-HTIB autoreceptors. RU 24969 increased brain 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol, but not noradrenaline, concentrations which supports the involvement of noradrenergic neurones in the expression of hyperlocomotion. RU 24969 did not alter dopamine, dihydroxyphenylacetic acid or homovanillic acid concentrations in the nucleus accumbens suggesting that the dopaminergic neurones terminating there are not directly involved.

To study interactions between DA and 5-HT neurochemical systems in the DA D1 supersensitized induction of oral activity in neonatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned rats, the effects of a variety of 5-HT receptor agonists and antagonists were determined. At 3 days after birth rats were treated with desipramine HCl (20 mg/kg i.p., base form) 1 h before 6-OHDA HBr (100 micrograms, salt form, in each lateral ventricle). When these rats were studied as adults it was determined that the striatal content of DA, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) was reduced by 98%, while the striatal content of 5-HT was elevated by 75%. The Bmax and Kd for [3H]SCH 23390 and [3H]spiperone binding to striatal homogenates was unaltered in the lesioned rats. However, oral activity responses to a D1 agonist (SKF 38393), D2 antagonist (spiperone) and 5-HT1C agonist [1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine] were enhanced several fold in the lesioned rats. Several other agonists and antagonists that act at 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors did not produce an altered response in the lesioned rats, nor were these substances effective in attenuating m-CPP-enhanced oral activity responses. The DA D1 receptor antagonist, SCH 23390 HCl (0.30 mg/kg i.p.), did not attenuate the response to m-CPP 2HCl (1.0 mg/kg i.p.). However, the 5-HT receptor antagonist, mianserin HCl (1.0 mg/kg s.c.) did effectively attenuate the oral activity response to SKF 38393 HCl (1.0 mg/kg i.p.). These findings indicate that there is supersensitization of both DA D1 and 5-HT1C receptors in neonatal 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, and that a D1 agonist acts via the 5-HT1C receptors. Therefore, induction of oral activity by DA agonists occurs through a serotoninergic neurochemical system.

In this study, we examined the localization of the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A receptors mediating hypothermia in the rat, evaluated the pharmacological specificity of this response and examined the influence of a series of novel 5-HT1A receptor ligands upon core temperature. Administered s.c., 8-hydroxy-(2-di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT), an agonist at both pre- and postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, elicited pronounced hypothermia. In contrast, BMY 7378, which shows low efficacy at postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors but high efficacy at presynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, elicited only mild hypothermia. Similarly, 8-OH-DPAT was more efficacious than BMY 7378 in eliciting corticosterone secretion, a response mediated by postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, whereas BMY 7378 was as efficacious as 8-OH-DPAT in inhibiting striatal accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptophan, a response mediated by presynaptic 5-HT1A receptors. These data suggest, by analogy, that postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors mediate hypothermia, an interpretation supported by the observation that destruction of central 5-HT neurons with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine failed to reduce 8-OH-DPAT-induced hypothermia (DIH). Agonists at 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, 5-HT2 and/or 5-HT3 receptors did not elicit hypothermia, and drugs releasing 5-HT elicited hyperthermia. In contrast, DIH was fully mimicked by the novel 5-HT1A receptors agonists, eltoprazine, WY 48,723, MDL 72832, tandospirone, S 14671, S 14506 and WY 50,324, whereas the novel partial agonist, zalospirone, was less efficacious. DIH was blocked by (-)-alprenolol, (+/-)-pindolol and the novel beta-blocker, (-)-tertatolol, which also has high affinity for 5-HT1A receptors; in distinction, betaxolol and ICI 118,551, antagonists at beta-1 and beta-2 adrenoceptors, respectively, were inactive. Spiperone, NAN-190 and BMY 7378 also inhibited DIH whereas ritanserin, SCH 39166, raclopride and prazosin, antagonists at 5-HT2 receptors, D1 and D2 dopamine receptors and alpha-1 adrenoceptors, respectively, were inactive. The novel 5-HT1A antagonists, WAY 100,135, MDL 73005 EF and (very potently) SDZ 216-525 all blocked DIH. Potency for induction of hypothermia and inhibition of DIH correlated well with affinity for 5-HT1A binding sites. In conclusion, hypothermia is a highly specific and sensitive response to activation of postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors. Furthermore, DIH is inhibited by their selective blockade. At postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors mediating hypothermia, eltoprazine, WY 48,723, MDL 72832 and tandospirone are agonists, zalospirone is a partial agonist and (-)-tertatolol, WAY 100,135, MDL 73005 EF and SDZ 216-525 are antagonists.

1. The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(dipropylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) has been evaluated in a mouse model for detecting potential antidepressants (Porsolt test). The effects of various receptor antagonists, lesions of brain monoaminergic neurones and chronic drug treatments on this 8-OH-DPAT-induced response have also been determined. 2. 8-OH-DPAT (0.3-10.0 mg kg-1, s.c.) dose-dependently increased the mobility of mice in the Porsolt test. Other selective 5-HT1A receptor ligands (0.3-30 mg kg-1, s.c.) either mimicked the 8-OH-DPAT response (ipsapirone, at 10 and 30 mg kg-1, s.c.) or were inactive (buspirone and gepirone). However, each of these compounds (< or = 100 mg kg-1, p.o.) inhibited the response to 8-OH-DPAT (3 mg kg-1, s.c.) when given concurrently. 3. The putative 5-HT1A antagonists, spiroxatrine (1-30 mg kg-1, p.o.), (+/-)-pindolol (30 mg kg-1, p.o.) and methiothepin (3-10 mg kg-1, p.o.), each attenuated the 8-OH-DPAT (3 mg kg-1, s.c.)-induced increase in mobility. 4. The dopamine D1 receptor antagonist, SCH 23390 (3-10 mg kg-1, p.o.), weakly reversed the 8-OH-DPAT response. Antagonists at 5-HTlc/5-HT2 receptors (ketanserin; 0.1-3.0 mg kg-1, p.o.),5-HT3 receptors (ondansetron; 0.03-10mg kg-1, p.o.), at-adrenoceptors (prazosin; 1-3mgkg-1, p.o.),alpha2 -adrenoceptors (idazoxan; 3-30mg kg-1, p.o.), alpha 1-adrenoceptors (metoprolol; 1-30mgkg-1, p.o.),beta 2-adrenoceptors (ICI 118,551; 1-30 mg kg-1, p.o.), dopamine D2 receptors (sulpiride; 10-300mg kg-',p.o.) and opiate receptors (naloxone; 3-100 mg kg-', p.o.) had no effect on the 8-OH-DPAT response.5. Selective destruction of 5-HT neurones with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine or inhibition of 5-HT synthesis with p-chlorophenylalanine did not change the 8-OH-DPAT response in the Porsolt test. This response was also unaltered by pretreatment with the noradrenergic neurotoxin, DSP-4.6. Administration of 8-OH-DPAT (3 mg kg-1, s.c.) twice-daily for 10 days attenuated the hypothermia,but not the increased mobility, induced by 8-OH-DPAT (3 mg kg-1, s.c.). Similarly, repeated administration of amitriptyline (3-30 mg kg-1), desipramine (3-30 mg kg-1) or dothiepin (10-100 mg kg-1) also attenuated the former, but not the latter, response.7. We conclude that 8-OH-DPAT produces an antidepressant-like effect in the Porsolt test which is mediated via postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors.

This experiment was designed to elucidate the neurotransmitter systems that mediate the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine. Four pigeons were trained to peck one key following saline injections and a second key following methamphetamine injections (1.0 or 1.7 mg/kg, IM). Substitution tests revealed drug-appropriate responding following administration of the psychomotor stimulants methamphetamine, amphetamine and cocaine, the dopamine (DA) reuptake inhibitor bupropion, norepinephrine (NE) reuptake inhibitors imipramine and tomoxetine, and the serotonin (5-HT) releaser fenfluramine. Saline-key responding occurred following administration of the D1 agonist SKF-38393, the D1 antagonist SCH-23390, the alpha 2 receptor agonist clonidine, the alpha 1 antagonist prazosin, a nonselective beta-antagonist propranolol and the selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine. The D2/D3 agonist quinpirole produced drug-appropriate responding in two pigeons and partial substitution in the remaining two pigeons. The 5HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT produced drug-appropriate responding at higher doses (0.3-1.0 mg/kg), whereas much lower doses (0.003-1.0 mg/kg) antagonized the methamphetamine stimulus. The stimulus effects of methamphetamine were attenuated by pretreatment with prazosin, SCH-23390 and eticlopride, whereas pretreatment with propranolol and the 5-HT3 antagonist, MDL 72222, failed reliably to attenuate drug key responding. These results suggest that NE and DA reuptake inhibition and 5-HT release mediate the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine as do the 5-HT1A and DA D1 and D2 receptors.

Two analogues of the potent 5-HT1A antagonist WAY 100635 have been synthesized and radiolabelled with 18F, namely N-[2-[4-(2-2'-[18F] fluoroethoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl)cyclohe xan e carboxamide ([18F]FEC) and N-[2-[4-(2-3'-[18F] fluoropropoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl)cycloh exa ne carboxamide ([18F]FPC). Biodistribution studies in rats showed selective uptake of both radiotracers in regions known to be rich in 5-HT1A receptors following i.v. injection. The ratio of radioactivity in hippocampus to that in the cerebellum was 5.5 (for [18F]FEC) and 7.5 (for [18F]FPC) at 60 min postinjection. Regional brain heterogeneity of radioactivity could be abolished by pretreatment with WAY 100635 and FPC but was unaffected by pretreatment with a variety of drugs including ketanserin, sulpiride, and SCH 23390. These results are compared vis-a-vis with those obtained using [11C]WAY 100635 to evaluate [18F]FEC and [18F]FPC as potential radiotracers for imaging 5-HT1A receptors by positron emission tomography.

(+/-)3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) releases dopamine and serotonin in vivo and stimulates locomotor activity. Previous work demonstrated that MDMA-stimulated dopamine release could be reduced by the selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist [R-(+)-a- (2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[2-(4-fluorophenylethyl)]-4-piperidinem ethanol] (MDL 100,907). In the present study MDL 100,907 significantly reduced MDMA-stimulated locomotion without affecting basal levels of locomotion. Other agents with 5-HT2A antagonist activity (ritanserin, clozapine, MDL 28,133A, or methiothepin), as well as agents that block 5-HT1A-(propranolol), D2-(haloperidol), or D1 receptors (SCH 23390) also reduced MDMA-stimulated locomotion. Intraventricularly administered 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine decreased regional 5-HT levels and attenuated MDMA-stimulated locomotion. These data support the conclusion that serotonin released onto 5-HT2A receptors contributes to MDMA-stimulated locomotion and suggest that MDMA-stimulated locomotion may be useful as an in vivo behavioral measure of 5-HT2A antagonism. The data also support previous reports of contributions of 5-HT1A, D1 and D2 receptors to MDMA-stimulated locomotion. A preliminary time-course analysis indicating time-dependent contributions of different receptors to MDMA-stimulated locomotion suggests the potential utility of this model for characterizing potential atypical antipsychotic compounds.

Subcutaneous administration of 8-OH-DPAT dose-dependently increased acetylcholine (ACh) output in frontal cortex of awake rats. The maximal effect of 8-OH-DPAT (0.5 mg/kg, s.c.) was prevented by the 5-HT1A antagonist WAY 100635 (1 mg/kg, s.c.) and by the D1 antagonists SCH 23390 or SCH 39166 (both 0.3 mg/kg, s.c.) but not seven days after chemical lesion of the raphe serotoninergic neurons. It is postulated that the 8-OH-DPAT activation of postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors enhances the release of dopamine which, by acting at D1 receptors, stimulates the release of ACh in the frontal cortex.
