A series of homochiral 7-substituted 1-aminoindans was prepared by means of asymmetric reductive amination from racemic 7-substituted 1-indanones via E-imines and E-imine/enamine mixtures, respectively, and subjected to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor subtype binding studies. The ee's of the title compounds were determined by HPLC of the corresponding Mosher's amides and range from 96 to 99.9%. The absolute configuration was elucidated by means of correlation CD spectroscopy. On the basis of the pK1 values obtained from various test systems, structure activity relationships have been established with respect to the absolute configuration, degree of N-alkylation, and the type of 7-substituents. The tested 1-aminoindans show the highest affinity to the 5-HT1A receptor, with decreasing magnitude for the 5-HT2A, 5-HT1D, and 5-HT2C receptors. The highest affinities for the 5-HT1A receptor were observed for the R-(-)-7-propoxy-1-(di-n-propylamino)indan hydrochloride (R-(-)-30). S,S'-(+)-7-benzylamido-1-(1-phenylethylamino)indan hydrochloride [S,S'-(+)-19] and R-(-)-7-methoxy-1-(di-n-propylamino)indan hydrogenembonate (R-(-)-29) with pK1 = 7.07 +/- 0.19, 6.40 +/- 0.09, and 6.22 +/- 0.10, respectively, in comparison to 8-OH-DPAT with pK1 = 8.70 +/- 0.30. Nearly all other compounds showed low affinity at all 5-HT receptors tested. The three above mentioned ligands were tested on HeLa cells (cell line HA6) expressing recombinant human 5-HT1A receptors for their effects on forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation in intact cells. Both the di-n-propylamino substituent bearing R-(-)-30 and R-(-)-29 acted as efficacious agonists with a pEC50 value of 5.89 +/- 0.20 for R-(-)-30 compared to 5-HT with a pEC50 value of 8.06 +/- 0.14, S,S'-(+)-19 with the 1-phenylethylamino substituent was devoid of intrinsic activity up to the highest tested concentration (10 microM).

The 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C antagonists MDL 100,907 and SER-082 were tested with the 5-HT2A/C agonist DOI and the 5-HT1A/2A/2C agonist LSD in the Behavioral Pattern Monitor, which provides multiple measures of locomotor and investigatory activity. Previous investigations have shown that these measures load onto three independent behavioral factors: amount of activity, exploratory behavior, and behavioral organization. Rats pretreated with saline, MDL 100,907 (0.25-2.0 mg/kg), or SER-082 (0.5-1.0 mg/kg) were treated with saline, 0.25 mg/kg DOI, or 60 micrograms/kg LSD. All effects of DOI were blocked by all doses of MDL 100,907, but only by the highest dose of SER-082. While the effects of LSD on activity and exploratory behavior were largely unaffected, either pretreatment antagonized the effects of LSD on behavioral organization. Thus, all of these effects of DOI were attributable to 5-HT2A receptors, whereas the effect of LSD on behavioral organization was influenced by both 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors.

1-(Meta-chloro)phenylpiperazine (m-CPP) is a 5-HT receptor agonist which has been purported to be relatively selective for the 5-HT2C receptor. In particular, the hypolocomotion produced by m-CPP has been suggested to be mediated by 5-HT2C receptors. m-CPP binds with high affinity to 5-HT1 as well as 5-HT2 receptors, thus effects of m-CPP on locomotor activity may be due to the physiologic summation of the actions of m-CPP at 5-HT1 as well as 5-HT2 receptors. The present study investigated the effects of m-CPP alone and in the presence of the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist 6-methyl-1-(-methyethyl)-ergoline-8beta-carboxylic acid 2-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl ester maleate (LY53857), the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-ethyl]-N-(2pyridinyl)c yclohexanecarboxamide trihydrochloride (WAY 100,635), and the 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor antagonist 2'-methyl-4'-(5-methyl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl)-biphenyl-4-corbox ylic acid [4-methoxy-3-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-phenyl]amide (GR 127935) on locomotor activity. Administration of m-CPP alone (0.3-10 mg/kg) produced a dose-related decrease in locomotor activity. The 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor antagonist GR 127935 (3.0 mg/kg) in combination with m-CPP produced a slight leftward shift of the dose-response curve of m-CPP. The 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100,635 (1.0 mg/kg) in combination with m-CPP did not alter the m-CPP dose-response curve. The non-selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonist LY53857 (1.0 mg/kg) in combination with m-CPP unmasked a hyperlocomotion produced by m-CPP. Furthermore, the hyperlocomotion produced by m-CPP in the presence of LY53857 (1.0 mg/kg) was blocked by both the 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor antagonist GR 127935 (3.0 mg/kg) and the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100,635 (1.0 mg/kg). The present results demonstrate that the hyperlocomotion seen with the combination of m-CPP and LY53857 is mediated by 5-HT1 receptors. Taken together the data indicate that m-CPP affects locomotor activity by the physiologic summation of agonist activity at the 5-HT2C receptor as well as the 5-HT1 receptor family.

The present study was designed to examine 1) functional interactions between 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A/C receptors in thermoregulation in rats and 2) the specific involvement of 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors in such interactions. The 5-HT2A/C receptor agonist DOI (0.025 1.6 mg kg-1, subcutaneously) produced a dose-dependent hyperthermia in rats, which was enhanced by addition of either of two 5-HT1A receptor antagonists, (-)-pindolol (0.5-1.0 mg kg-1, subcutaneously) or WAY-100,635 (0.1-0.4 mg kg-1, subcutaneously). Furthermore, the DOI-induced hyperthermia was counteracted by pretreatment with the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (0.05 mg kg-1, subcutaneously). The hyperthermia produced by DOI, alone or in combination with WAY-100,635, was fully antagonized by pretreatment with the 5-HT2A/C receptor antagonist ritanserin (1.0 mg kg-1, subcutaneously), as well as with the selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist amperozide (2.0 mg kg-1, subcutaneously). The present results provide evidence for functional interactions between 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors in temperature regulation in rats, and also suggest an important role for postsynaptic 5-HT2A receptors in the mediation of DOI-induced hyperthermia.

1. A study was made of the effects of 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) on pressor responses induced in vivo by electrical stimulation of the sympathetic outflow from the spinal cord of pithed rats. All animals had been pretreated with atropine. Sympathetic stimulation (0.1, 0.5, 1 and 5 Hz) resulted in frequency-dependent increases in blood pressure. Intravenous infusion of 5-CT at doses of 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg kg(-1) min(-1) reduced the pressor effects obtained by electrical stimulation. The inhibitory effect of 5-CT was significantly more pronounced at lower frequencies of stimulation. In the present study we characterized the pharmacological profile of the receptors mediating the above inhibitory effect of 5-CT. 2. The inhibition induced by 0.01 microg kg(-1) min(-1) of 5-CT on sympathetically-induced pressor responses was partially blocked after i.v. treatment with methiothepin (10 microg kg(-1)), WAY-100,635 (100 microg kg(-1)) or GR127935T (250 microg kg(-1)), but was not affected by cyanopindolol (100 microg kg(-1)). 3. The selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT and the selective 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor agonists sumatriptan and L-694,247 inhibited the pressor response, whereas the 5-HT1B receptor agonists CGS-12066B and CP-93,129 and the 5-HT2C receptor agonist m-CPP did not modify the pressor sympathetic responses. 4. The selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100,635 (100 microg kg(-1)) blocked the inhibition induced by 8-OH-DPAT and the selective 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor antagonist GR127935T (250 microg kg(-1)) abolished the inhibition induced either by L-694,247 or sumatriptan. 5. None of the 5-HT receptor agonists used in our experiments modified the pressor responses induced by exogenous noradrenaline (NA). 6. These results suggest that the presynaptic inhibitory action of 5-CT on the electrically-induced pressor response is mediated by both r-5-HT1D and 5-HT1A receptors.

5-HT receptor antagonists with selectivity for 5-HT1A WAY-100635 (N-[2-[-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl)cyclohe xanecarboxamide), 5-HT1B GR 127935 (N-[methoxy-3-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)phenyl]-2'-methyl-4'(5-methyl-1,2, 4-oxadiazol-3-yl)[1,1-biphenyl]-4-carboxamide x HCl), 5-HT2C SB 200646A (N-(1-methyl-5-indolyl)-N'-(3-pyridyl)urea x HCl) and 5-HT2A (ketanserin, fananserin and MDL 100,151 ((+/-)-alpha-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-4-pipe ridinemethanol) receptors were tested for cataleptogenic responses in rats. WAY-100635 (0.1-3 mg/kg, s.c.), ketanserin (0.1-3 mg/kg, s.c.), MDL 100,151 (0.3-3 mg/kg, s.c.) and fananserin (RP 62203; 3 mg/kg, s.c.) induced a significant catalepsy. GR 127935 (1 mg/kg, s.c.), SB 200646A (without effect per se at 10 mg/kg, s.c.) and MDL 100,151 (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.) did not inhibit the cataleptic response to the dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, loxapine (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.). Catalepsy induced by MDL 100,151 (3 mg/kg) was blocked by co-treatment with clozapine, but not by SB 200646A (both at 10 mg/kg, s.c.). Although clozapine displays significant affinity to 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, the present results suggest that blockade of these receptors is not responsible for clozapine's anticataleptic activity.

A series of substituted racemic naphthofurans were synthesized as "hybrid" molecules of the two major prototypical hallucinogenic drug classes, the phenethylamines and the tryptamines/ergolines. Although it was hypothesized that these new agents might possess high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A/2C receptor subtypes, unexpected affinity for muscarinic receptors was observed. The compounds initially synthesized for this study were (+/-)-anti- and syn-4-amino-6-methoxy-2a,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-naphtho[1,8-bc]furan (4a,b), respectively, and their 8-bromo derivatives 4c,d, respectively. The brominated primary amines 4c,d were assayed initially for activity in the two-lever drug discrimination (DD) paradigm in rats trained to discriminate saline from LSD tartrate (0. 08 mg/kg). Also, 4c,d were evaluated for their ability to compete against agonist and antagonist radioligands at cloned human 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors. After the syn diastereomers were found to have the highest activity in these preliminary assays, the N-alkylated analogues syn-N,N-dimethyl-4-amino-6-methoxy-2a,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-2H-naphtho[1,8-bc]furan (4e) and syn-N, N-dipropyl-4-amino-6-methoxy-2a,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-naphtho[1, 8-bc]furan (4f) were prepared and assayed for their affinities at [3H]ketanserin-labeled 5-HT2A and [3H]-8-OH-DPAT-labeled 5-HT1A sites. All of the molecules tested had relatively low affinity for serotonin receptors, yet a preliminary screen indicated that compound 4d had affinity for muscarinic receptors. Thus, 4b,d,e were evaluated for their affinity at muscarinic M1-M5 receptors and also assessed for their functional characteristics at the M1 and M2 isoforms. Compound 4d had affinities of 12-33 nM at all of the muscarinic sites, with 4b,e having much lower affinity. All three compounds fully antagonized the effects of carbachol at the M1 receptor, while only 4d completely antagonized carbachol at the M2 receptor. The fact that the naphthofurans lack LSD-like activity suggests that they do not bind to the serotonin receptor in a way such that the tricyclic naphthofuran nucleus is bioisosteric with, and directly superimposable upon, the A, B, and C rings of LSD. This also implies, therefore, that the hallucinogenic phenethylamines cannot be directly superimposed on LSD in a common binding orientation for these two chemical classes, contrary to previous hypotheses.

Premature ejaculation has generally been considered a psychosexual disorder with psychogenic aetiology. Although still mainly treated by behavioural therapy, in recent years double-blind studies have indicated the beneficial effects of some of the serotonergic antidepressants (SSRIs) in delaying ejaculation. We describe here the neurophysiology and the peripheral neuroanatomy of ejaculation and provide a review of the involvement of serotonin in the central nervous system in relation to serotonergic nuclei and their projections. A hypothesis of the role of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2C receptors in premature ejaculation is postulated.

In order to evaluate the role of glutamate in prolactin secretion, we examined the effects of N-methyl-D,L-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonists on serum prolactin levels at both resting and restraint-stress conditions in female rats at estrus. NMDA increased basal serum prolactin levels. Administration of the selective NMDA receptor antagonist, cis-4-phosphonomethyl-2-piperidine carboxylic acid (CGS 19755) (5 and 10 mg/kg i.p.), to rats under resting conditions enhanced basal prolactin levels. A low dose of CGS 19755 (3 mg/kg) was unable to modify the hormone serum level. Under stress conditions the pretreatment with CGS 19755 (3 and 5 mg/kg) prevented the increase in serum prolactin levels. This effect was reversed by NMDA (60 mg/kg s.c.). The NMDA receptor antagonist (5 mg/kg) decreased the median eminence concentration of the dopamine metabolite, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), without modifying dopamine content. To examine the probable link between serotonin (5-HT) and glutamate in prolactin release, the 5-HT2A/5-HT2C receptor antagonist, ritanserin, was used. Under resting conditions, a dose of 5 mg/kg s.c. blocked the NMDA-induced prolactin release. In rats submitted to restraint, ritanserin decreased the prolactin response and NMDA was unable to correct the stress serum prolactin levels. The 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-hidroxypropyl-amino tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (3 mg/kg s.c.), increased basal serum prolactin levels and restored serum prolactin in stressed animals pretreated with CGS 19755 (5 mg/kg). The present data strongly suggest that the glutamatergic system participates in the regulation of prolactin secretion. A stimulation tone seems to be exerted via the tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic system, and the prolactin release evoked by restraint apparently involves glutamate/NMDA receptors linked to a serotoninergic pathway.

RS-30199 has been shown previously to have atypical interactions at 5-HT1A receptors. RS-30199 and RS-64459, an analogue of buspirone with a buspirone side chain, were compared with the classic, partial agonist at 5-HT1A receptors, 8-hydroxy-2 (di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) and buspirone. At human (h) 5-HT1A receptors in CHO cells, RS-30199-193 (racemate) and its enantiomers (-197, -198) inhibited [3H]-8-OH-DPAT binding (RS-30199-198, ki, 29.7 +/- 11.7 nM; RS-30199-197, ki, 74.1 +/- 11.7 nM) as did RS-64459 (ki, 24.9 +/- 6.0 nM), but RS-30199-197 and -198 were almost full agonists in a [35S]-GTPgammaS binding assay, whereas RS-64459 was a partial agonist, resembling buspirone and 8-OH-DPAT. RS-64459 and the enantiomers of RS-30199 had weaker affinity for 5-HT2C and 5-HT7 receptors. These compounds did not induce the 5-HT behavioural syndrome in male rats. However, in a model where naive male rats were introduced to estrogen-progesterone primed, sexually receptive female rats, RS-30199-197 (0.1, 1, 10 mg/kg, s.c.) had a profound inhibitory effect on sexual behaviour score. Neither buspirone nor 8-OH-DPAT reduced the sexual behaviour score. Unlike 8-OH-DPAT, which shortens intromission latency, RS-30199 prolonged intromission latency. RS-30199 (10 mg/kg s.c.) fully inhibited the facilitation of sexual behaviour caused by the alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonist, delequamine (0.1 mg/kg, p.o.). In contrast, RS-64459 (100, 250, 1000 and 4000 microg/kg, s.c.) failed to modify the sexual behaviour score and did not modify intromission latency. The differences between the effects of RS-30199 and RS-64459 in binding and functional experiments are supported by molecular models of the receptor-ligand interaction, where the compounds interact in different ways with the receptor; a model is proposed for the allosteric interaction of different agents with the receptor, resulting in different functional profiles. RS-30199 can be considered an atypical agonist at 5-HT1A receptors.
