1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP) and 1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]piperazine (TFMPP) (0.1-1.0 mg/kg) reduce total interaction time in a rat social interaction test under low light familiar conditions and its following components; grooming, following, crawling over, fighting, sniffing. Locomotion was only reduced by the highest dose of mCPP. mCPP also reduced activity in the light but not total locomotion in a light/dark transition test. These results suggest that mCPP (and TFMPP) are anxiogenic but not sedative in these tests. The effect of mCPP on social interaction was blocked by three antagonists which share a high affinity for 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 receptors: mianserin, cyproheptadine and metergoline but not by the 5-HT2 antagonists ketanserin or ritanserin or the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B antagonists cyanopindolol and (-)-propranolol. It was prevented by a low (0.05 mg/kg) but not by a high (1.0 mg/kg) dose of ICS 205,930 a specific 5-HT3 antagonist reported to be anxiolytic at low doses. It was also prevented by chronic pretreatment with the anxiolytic drug chlordiazepoxide. These results argue for an anxiogenic action of mCPP mediated by 5-HT1C receptors. Since the chronic chlordiazepoxide pretreatment did not prevent the hypolocomotion or hypophagia induced by mCPP at high dosage (5 mg/kg) these latter effects are unlikely to be secondary to anxiety.

1. The abilities of two indole agonists and some nonindole agonists to induce relaxation of catch contraction and the influence of the agonists on cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in the anterior byssus retractor muscle (ABRM) of Mytilus were investigated. 2. 5-MeOT (5-methoxytryptamine) and 5-MeODMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) dose-dependently relaxed the contraction. 3. TFMPP (m-trifluoromethylphenyl piperazine), PAPP (p-amino-phenyl TFMPP) and mCPP (1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine dose-dependently relaxed the contraction, but 2MPP (1-(2-methylphenyl) piperazine and quipazine did not. 4. 5-MeOT (10(-6)M), 5-MeODMT (10(-6)M), TFMPP (10(-4)M), 2MPP (10(-4)M), quipazine (10(-4)M) and 8-OH-DPAT (3 x 10(-5) M) significantly reduced the cAMP levels, but PAPP (3 x 10(-4)M) and mCPP (10(-4)M) did not have any effect on cAMP levels. 5. These findings indicate that the pharmacological properties of 5-HT1-like receptors in the ABRM are similar to those of 5-HT1A receptors in mammalian tissues, and that the changes in cAMP levels induced by the agonists used are unlikely to be directly linked to the relaxation induced by them.

Sprague-Dawley rat pups at 3-4 days prenatally were tested in both the absence and presence of milk following administration of various doses of either the 5-HT1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OHDPAT), the 5-HT1B agonist 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP), or the 5-HT2 agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI). Administration of 8-OHDPAT decreased mouthing, increased probing and increased behavioral activation. Conversely, the 5-HT2 agonist DOI and the 5-HT1B agonist mCPP increased mouthing and decreased probing. mCPP and DOI differed in their effects on behavioral activation, with mCPP decreasing and DOI increasing this composite behavioral score. mCPP increased grooming, whereas DOI elicited a characteristic unusual positioning of the limbs. Thus it appears that 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and 5-HT2 receptor subtypes are present in the neonate and elicit differential behavioral responses upon stimulation with selective agonists. Ontogenetic variations in the balance among these receptor subtypes during development may be related to the ontogenetic reversal that has been previously reported in the impact of serotonin manipulations on mouthing and suckling behavior during the neonatal to weanling age period.

This investigation evaluated the effects of the 1-arylpiperazines (1-(1-naphthyl)piperazine (1-NP), 1-(2-[4-aminophenylethyl]-4-[3-trifluoromethylphenyl]piperazine (PAPP), 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP) and 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP) on head-twitching elicited by central 5-hydroxytryptamine2, (5-HT2) agonists and on the 5-HT motor syndrome associated with stimulating 5-HT1A receptors in rodents. 1-NP (0.25-16.0 mumol/kg i.p.) dose-dependently inhibited head twitching produced by carbidopa (100 mumol/kg i.p.) plus 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (1000 mumol/kg i.p.) in mice. Pretreatment with 4 mumol/kg of 1-NP shifted the entire dose-response curve for head-twitching induced by quipazine (0.33-46.7 mumol/kg i.p.) to the right without reducing locomotor stimulation produced by quipazine (8 mumol/kg) in mice placed in novel photocell cages. 1-NP, PAPP, TFMPP and mCPP (8 mumol/kg) antagonized twitching after 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (100 mumol/kg i.p.) or 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan. In rats, these arylpiperazines (1-32 mumol/kg) dose-dependently antagonized twitching elicited by quipazine (10 mumol/kg) without producing correlated alterations in locomotion. 1-NP, PAPP, and mCPP were equipotent and 6-fold more potent than TFMPP against twitching. None of these arylpiperazines caused twitching. 1-NP (4 mumol/kg) also antagonized twitching following the direct 5-HT2 agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (6 mumol/kg i.p.) but not after the thyrotropin releasing hormone analog MK-771 (20 mumol/kg i.p.) in rats. Larger doses of 1-NP (4-32 mumol/kg) and PAPP (64 mumol/kg) but not TFMPP or mCPP (16-128 mumol/kg), also reduced the incidence of the 5-HT syndrome produced by 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (30 mumol/kg) in rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. The effects of 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP) and 1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] piperazine (TFMPP) on activity of rats in a novel cage, and on the rotorod and elevated bar co-ordination tests was examined. 2. Peripherally administered mCPP and TFMPP dose-dependently reduced locomotion, rearing, and feeding scores but not grooming of freely fed rats placed in a novel observation cage. Yawning behaviour was increased. Similar effects were also observed after injection of mCPP into the 3rd ventricle. 3. Co-ordination on a rotating drum of both untrained and trained rats was impaired following mCPP but co-ordination on an elevated bar was not. 4. The hypoactivity induced by mCPP was opposed by three antagonists with high affinity for the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1C) site; metergoline, mianserin, cyproheptadine and possibly also by a fourth antagonist mesulergine. Metergoline, mianserin and cyproheptadine also opposed the reduction in feeding scores. However, neither effect of mCPP was antagonized by the 5-HT2-receptor antagonists ketanserin or ritanserin, the 5-HT3-receptor antagonist ICS 205-930, the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B-receptor antagonists (-)-pindolol, (-)-propranolol and (+/-)-cyanopindolol or the 5-HT1A-, 5-HT2- and dopamine receptor antagonist spiperone. The specific alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan was also without effect. 5. Hypoactivity induced by TFMPP was similarly antagonized by mianserin but unaffected by (+/-)-cyanopindolol. 6. These results suggest that the hypoactivity is mediated by central 5-HT1C-receptors and that mCPP and possibly TFMPP may be 5-HT1C-receptor agonists. 7. As mianserin, cyproheptadine and mesulergine in the absence of mCPP did not increase locomotion but increased the number of feeding scores, the activation of 5-HT1C-receptors may be of physiological importance in the control of appetite. The possible relevance of these results to the therapeutic and side-effects of clinically used antidepressants (particularly trazodone and mianserin) and anorexigenic drugs is discussed.

In this study, the involvement of serotonergic and dopaminergic receptors in the modulation of the head-twitch (HTW) response to the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2A/5-HT2C agonist, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane, was characterized in rats using novel and selective ligands at 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, D1, D2 and 5-HT1A receptors. HTW were dose-dependently inhibited by the 5-HT2A/2C antagonists, ritanserin, metergoline, mesulergine, mianserin, ICI 169,369 and LY 58,537, by the preferential 5-HT2A antagonist, ketanserin and by the novel, selective 5-HT2A antagonist, SR 46349B. A further selective 5-HT2A antagonist, MDL 100,907, very potently abolished HTW (ED50 = 0.005 mg/kg). The order of relative potency correlated highly with their affinity at 5-HT2A (r = 0.83) but not 5-HT2C receptors (r = 0.06). In addition, the novel, selective 5-HT2C antagonist, SB 200,646A, failed to abolish HTW and the 5-HT2C agonists/5-HT2A antagonists, 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine and 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine, blocked, rather than elicited, HTW. The D1 antagonists, SCH 23390, NNC 112, NNC 756, SCH 39166 and A 69024, in this order of relative potency that correlated with their affinity at D1 receptors (r = 0.98), blocked HTW. The D2 antagonists, raclopride, eticlopride and haloperidol also blocked HTW. The 5-HT1A agonists, S 14671, S 14506, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, buspirone, ipsapirone and (+)-flesinoxan, abolished HTW. The action of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin was blocked by (-)-tertatolol (ID50 = 4.5 mg/kg), a novel 5-HT1A receptor antagonist. Similarly, (-)-tertatolol attenuated the action of S 14506 and abolished that of S 14671, buspirone and ipsapirone. A role of postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors in the action of 5-HT1A agonists was suggested by the finding that parachlorophenylalanine (3 x 300 mg/kg, i.p.), which depleted cerebral pools of 5-HT, did not modify the activity of ipsapirone. The present data demonstrate that 5-HT2A receptors mediate HTW in rats and that both D1 and D2 receptors as well as (postsynaptic) 5-HT1A receptors play a role in their expression.

Electrophysiological studies were performed using cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose, to elucidate the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor subtypes involved in the 5-HT-induced inhibition of the lateral vestibular nucleus (LVN) neurons projecting to or through the abducens nucleus. The effects of 5-HT receptor subtype agonists and antagonist were examined in polysynaptic neurons activated by stimulation of the ipsilateral abducens nucleus (IAN) antidromically, since these neurons are sensitive to 5-HT as shown in our previous study. Iontophoretic application of 5-HT and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetrain (8-OH-DPAT), a selective 5-HT1A agonist, inhibited orthodromic spikes elicited by vestibular nerve stimulation in the majority of polysynaptic neurons activated by stimulation of ipsilateral IAN antidromically. There was a good correlation between the effects of 5-HT and 8-OH-DPAT. Iontophoretically applied 5-HT and 8-OH-DPAT also inhibited glutamate-induced firing in these neurons. Simultaneous application of 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido)butyl]piperazine (NAN-190), a 5-HT1A agonist/antagonist, significantly antagonized the 8-OH-DPAT-induced inhibition of glutamate-induced firing, although NAN-190 alone also caused weak suppression of glutamate-induced firing. Microiontophoretically applied 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine (mCPP), a 5-HT1B agonist inhibited the orthodromic spike elicited by vestibular nerve stimulation and glutamate-induced firing in only a small number of the LVN neurons. 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI), a 5-HT2 agonist, rarely affected these neurons. We postulate that postsynaptically located 5-HT1A receptors are mainly involved in the 5-HT-induced inhibition of polysynaptic neurons projecting in the region of the IAN.

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.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) caused a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+ in C6BU-1 glioma cells in a concentration-dependent manner; half maximally at 73 nM. The 5-HT2 agonist 1-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2- aminopropane also increased the levels of intracellular Ca2+, whereas the 5-HT1C agonist 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine and 5-HT1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2- (di-n-propylamino)tetralin were completely ineffective. Ketanserin and spiperone blocked the response to 5-HT at a nanomolar concentration, but the 5-HT3 antagonist MDL 72222 had no effect on it. Thus 5-HT2 receptors are responsible for activating Ca2+ mobilization in C6 glioma cells. Treatment of C6 glioma cells with dexamethasone potentiated the ability of 5-HT to cause intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in both a dose- and time-dependent manner. The dose-response curve for 5-HT was shifted 9-fold to the left compared to controls, and the Vmax value was also significantly enhanced. This enhanced Ca2+ mobilization was completely inhibited by ketanserin dose-dependently. In addition, the treatment with dexamethasone enhanced fluoride-activated Ca2+ mobilization, suggesting that the enhanced GTP binding protein function is one of the mechanisms responsible for the enhancement of the 5-HT response induced by dexamethasone treatment. This enhancement of agonist activity was mediated by the type II glucocorticoid receptor (GR) since RU 38486, an inhibitor of the type II GR, antagonized the dexamethasone-induced enhancement.

To examine the effects of 4-[3-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-propyl]-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (MP-3022), a high affinity 5-HT1A ligand, on the 5-HT1A-induced stimulus effect and to compare its effects with those produced by some 5-HT1A receptor ligands, rats were trained to discriminate between 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), 0.1 mg/kg ip, and saline in a standard, two-lever operant procedure. Substitution studies showed that the 8-OH-DPAT cue was mimicked in a dose-dependent manner by buspirone and ipsapirone, the 5-HT1A receptor partial agonists, but not by 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine (m-CPP), a nonselective 5-HT agonist. Furthermore, the 8-OH-DPAT cue was almost completely blocked by 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido)]butylpiperazine (NAN-190), a 5-HT1A receptor and alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, but not by prazosin (a selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor blocker). Our results also demonstrate that the discriminative effect of 8-OH-DPAT may be dose-dependently antagonized by MP-3022, which itself does not mimic the cue. It is concluded that MP-3022 behaves like a full 5-HT1A receptor antagonist in the 8-OH-DPAT-evoked discrimination procedure.
