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)

The release of endogenous glutamate (GLU) elicited by depolarization of rat cerebellum synaptosomes was inhibited potently (pEC30 = 9.77) by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). The 5-HT action was antagonized by methiothepin (pA2 = 10.37); ketanserin, methysergide, cinanserin and spiperone were ineffective. Exogenous 5-HT also inhibited the release of [3H]-5-HT from cerebellar synaptosomes (pEC30 = 8.73). Methiothepin, but not ketanserin, methysergide, cinanserin or spiperone counteracted the inhibition (pA2 = 9.28). The receptors involved (presynaptic 5-HT heteroreceptors and autoreceptors) were activated by the 5-HT1 agonist RU 24969 (5-methoxy-3-[1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl]-1H-indole) which showed comparable activity at the two receptor systems. (-)-Propranolol, used as a 5-HT1 antagonist, shifted to the right (pA2 = 8.05) the dose-response curve of 5-HT at the autoreceptors, but was ineffective at the receptors regulating GLU release. On the contrary, the 5-HT1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2-di-N-propylamino)tetralin activated the presynaptic heteroreceptors (pEC30 = 7.98), but was ineffective as a 5-HT autoreceptor agonist. The results allow the following major conclusions: 5-HT receptors are located on GLU terminals in rat cerebellum where they may modulate in an inhibitory way the release of GLU; 5-HT autoreceptors possibly involved in a negative feedback regulation of 5-HT release are present on cerebellar 5-HT nerve endings; 5-HT autoreceptors and heteroreceptors can be pharmacologically differentiated and appear to represent subtypes of the 5-HT1 receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

TVX Q 7821 is active in several behavioral models of anxiety in animals and has a high selective affinity for brain serotonin 5-HT1A receptors in binding assays. In order to determine if interaction with 5-HT1A receptors is important for some of the behavioral effects of this compound, 11 rats were trained to reliably discriminate the interoceptive stimuli induced by TVX Q 7821 (10 mg/kg, IP) from those of saline. Following discrimination acquisition, TVX Q 7821 administration resulted in drug-appropriate responding with an ED50 of 1.5 mg/kg, as did other substances with high affinity for the 5-HT1A receptor: 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT, ED50 = 0.16 mg/kg), 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-OMe-DMT, ED50 = 2.5 mg/kg), and buspirone (ED50 = 5.4 mg/kg). Anxiolytics not acting via the 5-HT1A receptor, like diazepam and pentobarbital, did not induce full TVX Q 7821-appropriate responses. In addition, non-selective 5-HT agonists and antagonists such as bufotenin, quipazine, and methysergide, as well as substances with high affinity for the 5-HT1B receptor (m-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine, TFMPP; 5-methoxy-3(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-indole succinate, RU 24969) did not substitute for TVX Q 7821. These data support a selective 5-HT1A mechanism of action in vivo for TVX Q 7821 and indicate the suitability of TVX Q 7821 for the investigation of behavioral correlates of the 5-HT1A receptor.

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.

The release of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT) evoked by 15 mM KCl in superfused rat cerebellum synaptosomes was inhibited by 5-HT (pEC30 = 8.73). Methiothepin antagonized 5-HT (pA2 = 9.28); ketanserin, methysergide, cinanserin and spiperone were ineffective. The receptors involved were activated (pEC30 = 8.90) by the 5-HT1 agonist 5-methoxy-3-[1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl]-1H-indole (RU 24969) X (-)Propranolol shifted to the right (pA2 = 8.05) the dose-response curve of 5-HT. The 5-HT1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) was ineffective. In conclusion, autoreceptors are present on 5-HT nerve endings in rat cerebellum and appear to belong to the 5-HT1B subtype.

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)

Administration of lithium chloride (10 mmol/kg on day 1 and 3 mmol/kg twice daily on subsequent days, SC) for 3-14 days enhances the components of the serotonin syndrome produced by 8-hydroxy-2-(di-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) in the rat. The hypothermic response produced simultaneously was unaltered. Following lithium administration for 3 days the motor response to 5-methoxy,N,N-dimethyltryptamine was also facilitated. These data suggest that lithium administration enhances post-synaptic 5-HT receptor-mediated behavioural responses. (-)-Propranolol (20 mg/kg, IP) but not (+)-propranolol (20 mg/kg IP) fully antagonised the facilitated response to 8-OH-DPAT seen following lithium administration; ritanserin (200 micrograms/kg, IP) was without effect. These findings favour a mechanism for the action of lithium involving the 5-HT1A receptor. Depletion of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) with parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA, 300 mg/kg, IP on day 1 and 2 of lithium administration) did not prevent the facilitation by lithium of the response to 8-OH-DPAT. These data strengthen the suggestion that lithium has its effect on 5-HT1A-mediated motor function by a post-synaptic action. By contrast, motor responses to the putative 5-HT1B receptor agonist 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridin-4-yl)-1H-indole (RU 24969) were unaltered by repeated lithium administration.

A group of ten rats was trained to obtain food pellets in an 8-arm radial maze. The effects of pretreatment with (+)-Lysergic acid diethylamide (+)-tartrate (LSD), m-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP), 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine oxalate (5-MeO-DMT), racemic 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin HBr (8-OH-DPAT), and 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridinyl)-1H-indole succinate (RU 24969) were then evaluated. All drugs were administered IP 15 min before testing. With the exception of an increased rate of responding at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg of 8-OH-DPAT, all drugs produced a dose-related decline in response rate. In addition, LSD, RU 24969, and 8-OH-DPAT caused a statistically significant decrease in efficiency of responding. Of the three, 8-OH-DPAT was clearly the most active. Doses of 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg/kg resulted in efficiencies of 61%, 53%, and 44%, respectively. The present results taken in light of 8-OH-DPAT's preferential binding to 5-HT1A receptors, the high density of these receptors in hippocampus, and the observation that the number of 5-HT1A receptors is decreased in Alzheimer's disease, suggest a possible role for this serotonergic receptor subtype in memory.

(-)[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.

Male Wistar rats were trained to discriminate the interoceptive effects of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-OMe-DMT; 1.25 mg/kg, IP) from saline in a two-lever operant chamber. Following discrimination learning, the following drugs (with ED50 dose in mg/kg IP) dose-dependently generalized: lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD, 0.04), 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT, 0.11), 6-methoxy-4-(dipropyl-amino)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenz(c,d)indole hydrochloride (BAY R 1531, 0.15), 5-OMe-DMT itself (0.63), ipsapirone (TVX Q 7821, 2.7), and buspirone (3.8). The potencies of these drugs in generalization tests were best correlated with their binding affinities for the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor subtype (as measured by displacement of 3H-ipsapirone in the hippocampus). Drugs not, or only partially generalizing included quipazine, bufotenin, m-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP), 5-methoxy-3(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl)-1H-indole succinate (RU 24969), citalopram, clomipramine, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-5- carboxylate (BAY K 8644), the buspirone metabolite 1-pyrimidinyl-piperazine (1-PP), methysergide, metergoline, and metitepine. Of the last three compounds with antagonistic activity at 5-HT receptors, as well as ketanserin, pizotifen, and ritanserin, only metitepine and pindolol could fully block the 5-OMe-DMT stimulus. Pizotifen blocked the generalization of quipazine fully, that of 5-OMe-DMT only partially, and that of ipsapirone not at all. These data indicate that the 5-HT1A receptor subtype is strongly involved in the transduction of the interoceptive discriminative stimuli induced by 5-OMe-DMT, with 5-HT2 agonism also playing a possible role.
