Three chemical classes of serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonists have been identified so far: 5-substituted indoles (e.g. 5-HT), benzamides (e.g. renzapride) and benzimidazolones (e.g. BIMU 8). In a search for 5-HT4 receptor antagonists, we have discovered that the benzimidazolone derivative DAU 6285 (for structure see text), is 3-5 times more potent than tropisetron in blocking 5-HT, renzapride and BIMU 8 induced stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in mouse embryo colliculi neurons. Schild plot analysis yielded Ki values of 220, 181 and 255 nmol/l, respectively. In addition, DAU 6285 showed poor activity as a 5-HT3 receptor ligand with respect to tropisetron, as demonstrated by in vitro binding studies (Ki, 322 vs 2.8 nmol/l) and by its antagonistic activity in the Bezold-Jarisch reflex test (ID50, 231 vs 0.5 micrograms/kg, i.v.). No significant binding (Ki greater than 10 mumol/l) of DAU 6285 to serotonergic 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, 5-HT1D, and 5-HT2 receptors as well as to adrenergic alpha 1, alpha 2, dopaminergic D1, D2 or muscarinic M1-M3 receptor subtypes was found. The data indicate that DAU 6285 has a somewhat higher affinity than tropisetron for 5-HT4 receptors, a property confirmed in functional tests, and much lower affinity than tropisetron for 5-HT3 receptors. The compound represents a new interesting tool for investigating the pharmacological and physiological properties of 5-HT4 receptors.

The interaction at 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors of the novel naphtylpiperazine, S 14671 (1-[2-(2-thenoylamino)ethyl]-4[1-(7- methoxynaphtyl)]piperazine), was compared to that of the 5-HT1A ligands, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT), WY 50,324 [N-(29(4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl)ethyl)tricyclo(3.3.1.1(3,7) )- decane-1-carboxamide], (+)-flesinoxan, buspirone and BMY 7378 [(8-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)- 1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-8-azaspirol[-4-]-decane-7,9-dione 2HCl]. S 14671 showed a very high affinity for 5-HT1A sites (pKi, 9.3) as compared to the reference ligands (pKi values, 9.2, 8.7, 8.7, 7.9 and 8.7, respectively). S 14671 bound in an apparently competitive manner and, in distinction to the reference compounds, possessed a Hill Coefficient (1.4) significantly superior to 1. Although showing low affinity at 5-HT1B and 5-HT3 sites, S 14671 displayed significant affinity at both 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 sites; pKi, 7.8 in each case. Furthermore, S 14671 acted as an antagonist of 5-HT-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in rat choroid plexus (5-HT1C) and cortex (5-HT2). In vivo, upon s.c. administration, S 14671 acted as a high efficacy agonist in models of 5-HT1A receptor-mediated activity: induction of flat-body posture, spontaneous tail-flicks, hypothermia and corticosterone secretion and inhibition of morphine-induced antinociception. In every test, S 14671 was the most potent compound: it was active at doses as low as 5 micrograms/kg s.c. Relative potency across all tests was S 14671 greater than 8-OH-DPAT greater than WY 50,324 greater than (+)-flesinoxan greater than buspirone with BMY 7378 too weak for comparison to be meaningful. The action of S 14671 in 5-HT1A tests was blocked by BMY 7378 and the 5-HT1A antagonist, (-)-alprenolol, but unaffected by the 5-HT1C/2 antagonist, ritanserin, and the 5-HT3 antagonist, ondansetron. Activation of postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors was confirmed in 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine-lesioned rats, in which the potency of S 14671 to elicit spontaneous tail-flicks was potentiated. Activation of presynaptic receptors was demonstrated by inhibition of the electrical activity of the dorsal raphe nucleus with the following order of relative potency: S 14671 greater than 8-OH-DPAT greater than WY 50,324 greater than BMY 7378 greater than buspirone. Spiperone, which acts as a pure 5-HT1A antagonist at raphe 5-HT1A receptors, blocked the action of S 14671. In conclusion, S 14671 is a structurally novel ligand manifesting high efficacy and exceptional potency at both pre- and postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

This paper describes the 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonism of Y-25130 ((+-)-N-(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl)-6-chloro-4-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dih yd ro- 2H-1,4-benzoxazine-8-carboxamide monohydrochloride) in the rat cerebral cortex, isolated rabbit heart and isolated guinea pig ileum. In an in vitro binding assay, Y-25130 inhibited the specific binding of [3H]quipazine to 5-HT3 receptors at the synaptic membranes of the rat cerebral cortex with a Ki value of 2.9 nM, the same as that of ondansetron. Metoclopramide, 5-HT and 2-methyl-5-HT also showed an inhibitory effect, but their affinities for 5-HT3 receptors were lower than that of Y-25130. Y-25130 showed low affinity for histamine H1 receptors (IC50 = 4.4 microM) but it could not reveal any affinities for the other receptors (5-HT1A, 5-HT2, dopamine D1, dopamine D2, alpha 1-adrenoceptor, alpha 2-adrenoceptor, muscarine and benzodiazepine) even at a 10 microM concentration. In the isolated rabbit heart, Y-25130 antagonized the indirect sympathomimetic responses to 5-HT (pA2 value = 10.06) and this effect was more potent than that of metoclopramide. In the isolated longitudinal smooth muscle of the guinea pig ileum, concentration-contraction effect curves for 5-HT were biphasic in the presence of ketanserin. Y-25130 shifted to the right only in the second phase of concentration-effect curves for 5-HT (pA2 value = 7.04) and its activity was more potent than that of metoclopramide. These results indicate that Y-25130 is a potent and selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist.

Bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle (SM) cells express a novel 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) (5-HT4-like) receptor coupled to cAMP accumulation. cAMP radioimmunoassay established the agonist and antagonist profiles of this receptor. 5-HT (EC50 = 91 +/- 33 nM) and 5-methoxytryptamine were equipotent at the SM cell 5-HT receptor and both were more potent than 5-carboxamidotryptamine. Other tryptamine derivatives were less potent but remained full agonists. These findings are consistent with previous reports regarding 5-HT4 and 5-HT4-like receptors in the central nervous system. The most potent antagonists were the antidepressant compounds nortriptyline (IC50 = 177 +/- 153 nM) and zimelidine (IC50 = 202 +/- 101 nM). The 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 antagonist 3-tropanyl-indole-3-carboxylate (ICS 205-930) was also a competitive antagonist at this 5-HT4-like receptor (pA2 = 6.3). Antagonist affinities differed slightly at the SM cell receptor, compared with other 5-HT4 and 5-HT4-like receptors in the central nervous system. Nonetheless, the SM cell 5-HT4-like receptor displayed the same differential antagonist potencies as reported for these other receptors (ICS 205-930 > MDL 72222 and mianserin > ketanserin). 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) was the most potent agonist for this 5-HT4-like receptor (EC50 = 6.4 +/- 3.4 nM). 8-OH-DPAT-induced cAMP accumulation could be blocked by ICS 205-930 but not by the 5-HT1A antagonist 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-pthalimido)butyl]piperazine hydrobromide, distinguishing the SM cell 5-HT receptor from 5-HT1A receptors. The mechanism of 5-HT-stimulated cAMP production was also investigated. First, GTP augmented basal and 5-HT-stimulated cAMP accumulation. Second, antisera to the carboxyl terminus of the alpha subunit of Gs, attenuated 5-HT-mediated adenylate cyclase activation. This established that 5-HT-stimulated cAMP accumulation in SM cells required GS. These findings suggest that SM cells express a novel 5-HT4-like receptor positively coupled to adenylate cyclase. An unexpected finding was that 8-OH-DPAT is a potent partial agonist. These studies suggest that there may be heterogeneity among 5-HT4-like receptors.

To explore 5-HT1A receptor responsivity in panic disorder (PD), hypothermic, neuroendocrine and behavioral responses to the selective partial 5-HT1A receptor agonist ipsapirone (IPS) were investigated in patients with primary PD and healthy controls. Fourteen patients and matched controls received a single oral dose of 0.3 mg/kg IPS or placebo under double-blind, random-assignment conditions. IPS induced hypothermia and corticotropin (ACTH)/cortisol release but had only minimal effects on behavior. Compared with controls, the patients with PD exhibited significantly attenuated thermoregulatory and neuroendocrine responses to IPS. Although the healthy subjects reported increased drowsiness and the PD patients rated themselves more nervous and less calm following administration of IPS, no consistent changes in ratings of anxiety or panic symptoms were recorded. The impaired hypothermic and ACTH/cortisol responses following 5-HT1A receptor activation reflects subsensitivity of both the pre- and post-synaptic 5-HT1A receptor-effector system, thus supporting the hypothesis that a 5-HT1A receptor-related serotonergic dysfunction may be linked to the pathophysiology of PD. Future studies of 5-HT1A receptor-effector complex function in conjunction with assessment of the responsivity of other subtypes (e.g. 5-HT2, 5-HT3) should promote the evaluation of 5-HT system integrity in anxiety disorders and its involvement in anxiolytic drug effects.

The effects of a range of 5-HT receptor antagonists were examined in an animal model of anxiety--the social interaction test. Six antagonists with high affinity for 5-HT1C receptors; mianserin, (+) mianserin, 1-naphthyl piperazine, ICI 169 369, pizotifen and LY 53857 all increased the time spent in active social interaction by pairs of weight-matched rats under high light unfamiliar conditions. As locomotion was only increased by 1-NP and then only at high doses, the effect of the drugs is consistent with anxiolysis. These properties were shared by the benzodiazepine anxiolytic chlordiazepoxide but not by the specific 5-HT2 antagonists ketanserin and altanserin, nor by the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B antagonists cyanopindolol and pindolol. Similarly, neither the adrenergic alpha 2 antagonist idazoxan, the alpha 2 antagonist and putative 5-HT1D partial agonist yohimbine nor the H1 antagonist mepyramine had any significant effect. Since (+)mianserin, LY 53857 and ICI 169 369 at least have low affinity for 5-HT3 receptors these receptors are also unlikely to be involved. The results therefore imply that the observed anxiolytic effects of the drugs are likely to be mediated by 5-HT1C receptor blockade.

The aim of this study was to use the elevated X-maze to compare acute and chronic treatments of a 5-HT1A partial agonist, ipsapirone, a 5-HT2 antagonist, ritanserin, and a 5-HT3 antagonist, ondansetron, with those of established anxiolytic (diazepam) and anxiogenic (idazoxan) compounds. Acute diazepam (5 mg/kg IP) produced a significant increase in the percentage open:total entries and time and time spent in the end of the open arms (anxiolytic profile) on the elevated X-maze. Chronic treatment with diazepam (5 mg/kg IP twice daily for 14 days) still produced an anxiolytic profile which was not apparent 24 h after cessation of chronic treatment (withdrawal). In contrast, idazoxan given both acutely (0.25 mg/kg IP) and chronically (0.8 mg/kg/h at a flow rate of 5.5 microliters/h for 14 days, via osmotic minipumps) resulted in a significant decrease in the percentage open:total entries and time and time spent in the end of the open arms (anxiogenic profile). Acute administration of ipsapirone had no effect on any of the behavioural parameters at doses of 0.01 and 1 mg/kg IP, while 0.1 mg/kg IP produced a significant anxiogenic profile. Chronic treatment with ipsapirone (0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg IP twice daily for 14 days) had no significant effect on rat behaviour on the X-maze but 24 h after ending treatment, ipsapirone at the highest dose used (1 mg/kg) produced a significant anxiogenic profile which was absent when the animals were tested 7 days after cessation of treatment. Ritanserin (0.05 and 0.25 mg/kg IP) had no effect acutely on any of the parameters measured but chronic treatment (0.25 mg/kg IP, twice daily for 14 days) produced a significant anxiolytic effect which was still present 24 h but not 7 days after cessation of treatment. Acute ondansetron (0.01, 0.1 and 1 mg/kg IP) had no effect while chronic ondansetron (0.01 mg/kg IP, twice daily for 14 days) produced a significant anxiolytic profile which was not a result of handling during the chronic dosing schedule, an effect was not measureable 24 h after treatment ended. The results demonstrate that the X-maze can detect anxiolytic activity in non-benzodiazepine drugs, as ritanserin and ondansetron showed anxiolytic profiles but only after chronic treatment. In contrast, the X-maze failed to detect any anxiolytic activity with the 5-HT1A partial agonist ipsapirone after either acute or chronic treatment.

The mouse black and white test box was used to measure changes in behaviour in an aversive situation where the administration of R(+)-zacopride (but not S(-)-zacopride) alone decreased aversive responding to the white area. A similar anxiolytic profile of action was observed using parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA), whose effects were antagonised by a co-treatment with R(+)-zacopride and reversed by S(-)-zacopride to an exacerbation of the aversive response. An anxiolytic profile of action was also observed using ondansetron, granisetron, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, ritanserin, 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin), E4424 (2-[4-[4-(4-chloro-l-pyrazoyl)butyl]-l-piperazinyl]-pyrimidine), umepsirone, DuP753 (2-n-butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxy-methyl-1-[2(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) biphenyl-4-yl)methyl)]-imidazole), SQ29,852 ((S)-1-[6-amino-2[hydroxy)(4-phenyl-butyl)phosphinyl]-oxy)-1- nexy]-2-proline), devazepide and guanfacine, and this was retained following co-treatment with PCPA. The anxiolytic profile of action of PCPA was also retained following co-treatment with renzapride which when administered alone failed to modify behaviour. However, the ability of chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, ondansetron and E4424 (but not devazepide, DuP753 or SQ29,852) to reduce aversive responding was inhibited by co-treatment with R(+) and/or S(-)-zacopride. It is concluded that the reduction in aversive responding caused by pharmacological manipulation at the benzodiazepine, 5-HT receptor subtypes 5-HT1A, 5-HT1C/5-HT2 and 5-HT3 (but not at the cholecystokin CCKA or angiotensin receptors or inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme) can be inhibited by R(+) and S(-)-zacopride. The data is discussed in terms of zacopride having an agonist or partial agonist effect at the 5-HT3 receptor.

Administration of various doses of 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) to rats produced dose-related decreases in 1-h food intake in the food-deprived paradigm. Pretreatment with spiperone (5-HT1A/5-HT2/D2 antagonist), propranolol or CGP361A (beta-adrenoceptor antagonists that also have binding affinities for 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B sites) and MDL-72222 (5-HT3 antagonist) did not attenuate DOI-induced suppression of food intake. In contrast, pretreatment with metergoline (5-HT1/5-HT2 antagonist) completely blocked whereas mesulergine, mianserin and ritanserin (5-HT1C/5-HT2 antagonists) partially blocked DOI's effect on food intake. On the other hand, pretreatment with MDL-72222 but not with m-chlorophenylpiperazine (m-CPP) significantly potentiated DOI-induced suppression of food intake. Furthermore, the food intake suppressant effects of various doses of DOI were found to be similar in the Fawn-Hooded (FH) rat strain as compared to the Wistar rat strain. These findings suggest that DOI-induced suppression of food intake is mediated by stimulation of both 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 receptors.

TFMPP and m-CPP, non-selective 5-HT agonists, administered in doses of 1-20 mg/kg evoked hyperthermia in rats at a high ambient temperature (28 degrees C). The hyperthermic effect of TFMPP (10 mg/kg) or m-CPP (10 mg/kg) was dose-dependently antagonized by the 5-HT1c and 5-HT2 receptor antagonists mesulergine (0.5-4 mg/kg), ketanserin (0.6-2.5 mg/kg) and ritanserin (0.5-2 mg/kg) and by the non-selective 5-HT antagonist metergoline (0.5-1 mg/kg), or was attenuated by the 5-HT1A, 5-HT2 and dopamine receptor antagonist spiperone (3 mg/kg, but not 0.3 or 1 mg/kg). On the other hand, the 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and beta adrenoceptor antagonists pindolol (2 mg/kg) and cyanopindolol (2 mg/kg), the 5-HT1A receptor agonist/antagonist ipsapirone (10 and 35 mg/kg) and haloperidol (0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg) showed a tendency towards enhancing the TFMPP- or m-CPP-induced hyperthermia. The 5-HT1A and alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist NAN-190 (1-4 mg/kg), the 5-HT3 antagonists tropisetron (0.01-1 mg/kg) and zacopride (0.5 and 1 mg/kg), the beta-blockers betaxolol (8 mg/kg) and ICI 118, 551 (8 mg/kg), which have no affinity for 5-HT receptors and prazosin (1 mg/kg), did not affect the hyperthermic effect of TFMPP or m-CPP. The hyperthermias studied were not modified, in animals with 5-HT lesion produced by p-chloroamphetamine (PCA) either. All the drugs used as putative receptor antagonists, as well as PCA, did not change or decreased (ipsapirone) the body temperature in heat-adapted rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
