The hypothermia and motor behavioural syndrome produced in rats by injection of the 5-HT1A ligand 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) has been studied following administration of electroconvulsive shock under halothane anaesthesia (ECS) and during the administration of antidepressant drugs. Repeated ECS attenuated the hypothermic response to 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 mg/kg SC) immediately after the last of five shocks given spread out over 10 days with a maximal effect 21 days after the final shock. A single ECS was without effect. The serotonin syndrome produced by 8-OH-DPAT (0.75 mg/kg SC) was also attenuated, although simple motility was increased. Zimeldine (20 mg/kg) and desipramine (20 mg/kg), when given once daily for 14 days also attenuated the hypothermia and the serotonin syndrome provoked by 8-OH-DPAT. The hypothermic response was somewhat reduced 24 h after a single injection of zimeldine but not 45 min after zimeldine (5 mg/kg IP). At a high dose (20 mg/kg) tranylcypromine clearly attenuated both responses 24 h after a single injection. Tranylcypromine (6 mg/kg IP) showed a smaller effect after a single injection but attenuated the behavioural syndrome on repeated administration. Repeated injection of flurazepam (10 mg/kg IP) was without effect on either the behavioural or hypothermic response to 8-OH-DPAT. These findings are consistent with the view that responses mediated via the 5-HT1A receptor may be involved in the mechanism of action of antidepressant treatments.

We report the effects of the monoamine oxidase inhibitor, tranylcypromine, combined with the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl cyclohexanecarboxamide (WAY 100635), on both 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) cell firing and cortical extracellular 5-HT in the rat. Tranylcypromine inhibited 5-HT cell firing in the dorsal raphe nucleus dose-dependently (ED50 5 mg/kg i.v.). In microdialysis experiments, tranylcypromine (5 mg/kg i.v.) increased extracellular 5-HT in the frontal cortex. WAY 100635 (0.1 mg/kg i.v.) both reversed the inhibition of 5-HT cell firing and facilitated the increase in extracellular 5-HT. In conclusion, WAY 100635 enhances the effect of tranylcypromine on presynaptic 5-HT function. These data are relevant to clinical evidence that co-therapy with a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist improves the antidepressant efficacy of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
