The potential interaction of CM 57493 [4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1-(2-cyanoethyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyri din e] with central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors was assessed using biochemical and electrophysiological tests in the rat and in the cat. In vitro binding assays with rat brain membranes revealed that CM 57493 bound to 5-HT1A sites in a concentration range (pIC50 = 7.1) at least two orders of magnitude lower than that required for its interaction with 5-HT1B/5-HT1D, 5-HT2, 5-HT3 and 5-HTPre sites. The affinity of CM 57493 for 5-HT1A sites labeled by [3H]-8-OH-DPAT in hippocampal membranes was enhanced by Mn++ and reduced by GTP, as expected for an agonist. Like 8-OH-DPAT, CM 57493 inhibited forskolin-activated adenylate cyclase activity in hippocampal homogenates. The inhibitory effects of these two compounds were not additive and were prevented by 5-HT1A antagonists such as spiperone and dl-propranolol. In vivo treatment with CM 57493 decreased the levels of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid in various brain areas, as observed with other 5-HT1A agonists such as 8-OH-DPAT and ipsapirone. Electrophysiological recording within the dorsal raphe nucleus in chloral hydrate anesthetized rats showed that CM 57493 administration induced a dose-dependent reduction of the spontaneous firing of serotoninergic neurons. In vitro, CM 57493 (5-20 microM) also reduced neuronal firing in the nucleus raphe dorsalis within brainstem slice, and this effect could be prevented by dl-propranolol. Finally, in cats pretreated with reserpine, CM 57493 induced a decrease in ponto-geniculo-occipital activity, which could be antagonized by methiothepin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The potency of the serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OHDPAT), to induce forepaw treading was increased 20-fold after co-treatment with the 5-HT2 agonist, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI). DOI induced head twitches which were inhibited by 8-OHDPAT. The putative 5-HT1B agonist, 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP), had a weak effect on the responses to DOI or 8-OHDPAT. The forepaw treading induced by 8-OHDPAT plus DOI was inhibited by high doses of (-)-alprenolol, ketanserin or ritanserin, but was not influenced by the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 118.551, or the 5-HT3 antagonist, ICS 205-930. A non-effective dose of (-)-alprenolol increased the inhibitory effect of ketanserin and ritanserin. These results indicate a complex and different interaction between 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors in the expression of two behavioural responses mediated by 5-HT.

1. The aim of the present work was to characterize the presynaptic 5-HT receptors that mediate either the facilitation of the responses to nerve stimulation in the nictitating membrane of the cat or the inhibition of the responses to nerve stimulation in the guinea-pig atria. 2. In the nictitating membrane of the cat, the shift to the left in the frequency-response curves produced by 5-HT (0.1 microM) was prevented by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, metoclopramide (1 microM) and MDL 72222 (0.01 microM). 3. The facilitatory effect of 5-HT is also prevented by the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, 0.01 microM ketanserin. Nevertheless, this drug reduced by itself the responses to both nerve stimulation and exogenous NA in the nictitating membrane. 4. In the guinea-pig isolated atria, the inhibitory effect of 5-HT on the chronotropic responses to cardioaccelerans nerve stimulation was mimicked by the mixed 5-HT1A + 5-HT1B + 5-HT1D receptor agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT 0.1 and 1 microM). The 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 and 1 microM) did not modify the responses of the atria to the nerve stimulation. 5. The 5-HT2 receptor antagonists, ketanserin (0.01 and 0.1 microM) and cyproheptadine (1 microM), did not prevent the inhibitory effect of 5-HT in the guinea-pig atria. 6. The present results suggest that the facilitatory effects of 5-HT in the nictitating membrane of the cat are linked to the activation of 5-HT3 receptors whereas the inhibitory effects observed in the guinea-pig atria are mediated by 5-HT1-like receptors.

The effect of different serotonin (5-HT) agonists and antagonists on the discriminative stimulus properties (cue) induced by 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OHDPAT), 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP) and d-LSD (d-lysergic acid diethylamide) has been investigated. The 8-OHDPAT cue was mimicked by the 5-HT1A agonists ipsapirone, buspirone, gepirone and partially by 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine and d-LSD. 5-HT1B (TFMPP and RU 24969) and 5-HT2 agonists (DOM, DOI and quipazine) were ineffective and induced disruption of responding. The 8-OHDPAT cue was antagonized by spiroxatrine and partially by (-)-alprenolol, whereas selective antagonists of 5-HT2 (ketanserin and ritanserin), 5-HT3 (ICS 205-930), alpha 1-adrenergic (prazosin) and beta-adrenergic receptors (ICI 118.551) were ineffective. The TFMPP cue was mimicked by RU 24969 and partially by quipazine. Other compounds were ineffective. Only (-)-alprenolol antagonized the effect of TFMPP. The d-LSD cue was mimicked by DOM, DOI, quipazine, 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine and partially by ipsapirone, TFMPP and RU 24969. The 3 latter compounds and 5-HT1A agonists induced disruption of responding. The d-LSD cue was antagonized by ketanserin and ritanserin, but not by the other antagonists mentioned above. The specific inhibitor of 5-HT uptake citalopram was not able to substitute for any of the 3 agonists. It is concluded that the drug discrimination technique can be used to identify selective agonists and antagonists of 5-HT receptor subtypes. Compounds with mixed effects on 5-HT receptor subtypes can also be identified. These show additional effects on reaction time and often disrupt responding at higher dosages.

Binding sites for [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in postmortem human frontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala were studied by displacement with 5-HT selective drugs. The results demonstrated the selective labelling of 5-HT1-like sites by [3H]5-HT in the cortex, with little or no labelling of 5-HT2 or 5-HT3 sites. Self-displacement of the binding of [3H]5-HT is consistent with the presence of a single population of sites, indicating that 5-HT is non-selective for the 5-HT1 subtypes. Around 40% of the 5-HT1 sites in the frontal cortex and amygdala were of the 5-HT1A subtype, in contrast to 60% in the hippocampus. The drug RU 24969 consistently displaced with, a high affinity, a greater proportion of [3H]5-HT sites than did 8-OH-DPAT in all three regions of the brain. The nature of these additional sites was not established. A small proportion (less than 10%) of [3H]5-HT sites in the frontal cortex appeared to be of the 5-HT1C subtype, as these sites were displaced with high affinity by mianserin.

The selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT increased serum corticosterone concentration in rats in a dose-dependent manner. The synthetic corticoid dexamethasone lowered the serum corticosterone level and abolished its rise induced by 8-OH-DPAT. The corticosterone response to 8-OH-DPAT was also antagonized by spiperone, (+/-)- and (-)-pindolol and (+/-)-propranolol, all of which have been shown to have a high affinity for 5-HT1A receptors, though in most cases no complete blockade was found. A partial antagonism of the response was also observed after flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist. On the other hand, the 5-HT1B receptor antagonist 21009, the 5-HT2 receptor antagonists ketanserin and pirenperone, the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ICS 205-930, the alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonists yohimbine and idazoxan, the beta-adrenoceptor blocker with no affinity to 5-HT1 receptors, atenolol, the dopaminergic antagonist pimozide, the histamine receptor blocker chloropyramine and the opiate receptor antagonist naloxone did not affect the hormonal response to 8-OH-DPAT. The 8-OH-DPAT-induced corticosterone secretion was not affected either in rats pretreated with p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA, an inhibitor of tryptophan hydroxylase) or p-chloroamphetamine (PCA, a drug-inducing lesion of serotonergic nerve terminals). It is concluded that 8-OH-DPAT-induced increase in serum corticosterone concentration results from its action at a site different than the adrenal cortex and is mediated by postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, whereas other subtypes (5-HT1B, 5-HT2, 5-HT3) of 5-HT receptors do not participate in this response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The radiation inactivation technique has been used to estimate the molecular size of the 5-HT3 receptor binding site labelled by [3H]zacopride, in comparison with that of the 5-HT1A receptor binding site labelled by [3H]8-OH-DPAT, in rat cortical membranes. The calculated molecular weight of the 5-HT3 site: 35.4 +/- 2.2 kDa (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 4) was significantly less than that of the 5-HT1A site: 62.9 +/- 1.8 kDa (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 4) and of other 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors of the G-protein coupled family. These data further support that the 5-HT3 receptor is not coupled to G-proteins in the rat brain.

The 5-HT1A agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), induced a dose-dependent reduction in latency to withdraw the tail from noxious hot water (48 degrees C). However, a similar apparent 'hyperalgesia' was seen at a non-noxious temperature of 38 degrees C. Indeed, 8-OH-DPAT induced spontaneous 'tail-flicks' in the absence of external stimulation. This property was shared by lisuride and LSD, which also have high intrinsic activity at 5-HT1A sites. Agonists at other serotonin (5-HT) receptor types (5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, 5-HT2, 5-HT3) were inactive. Tail-flicks induced by 8-OH-DPAT could be antagonised by the 5-HT1 2 antagonist, methiothepin, but not by ritanserin or GR-38032F, which are antagonists at 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 sites, respectively. Ipsapirone and buspirone, partial 5-HT1A agonists, acted as antagonists. Further, BMY 7378, a proposed selective antagonist at 5-HT1A sites, also blocked the tail-flicks. Thus, the apparent 'hyperalgesia' induced by 8-OH-DPAT may reflect induction of spontaneous tail-flicks. These flicks appear to be mediated by 5-HT1A receptors and represent a novel model of 5-HT1A function in the rat.

1. The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor mediating contraction of endothelium denuded human basilar artery has been characterized in vitro. 2. 5-HT and a variety of 5-HT agonists contracted human isolated basilar artery with a rank order of agonist potency, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) greater than 5-HT identical to methysergide greater than GR43175 much greater than 8-OHDPAT much greater than 2-methyl-5-HT. The maximum response produced by these agonists differed. 3. None of the agonists relaxed human basilar artery when tone was elevated with prostaglandin F2 alpha, indeed further contraction was seen. 4. The contractile responses of human basilar artery to 5-HT and the selective 5-HT1-like agonist GR43175 were highly reproducible whilst those to 5-CT were not. 5. The contractile response to both 5-HT and GR43175 was resistant to antagonism by ketanserin and GR38032, thus excluding activation of 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors. The contractile action of 5-HT and GR43175 was also not antagonized by (+/-)-cyanopindolol, excluding the activation of receptors similar to 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B recognition sites identified in ligand binding studies. 6. In marked contrast, methiothepin was a potent antagonist of the contractile actions of both 5-HT and GR43175, with a pA2 value of 8.8 against both agonists. Methiothepin (100 nM) had no effect on the contractile response to the thromboxane A2-mimetic U46619. 7. We conclude that 5-HT and GR43175 contract the human isolated basilar artery by activating the same receptor type. This receptor appears identical to the 5-HT1-like receptor causing contraction of the dog isolated saphenous vein and cerebral blood vessels from the dog and primate.

The existence of two different functional receptors for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was first proposed by Gaddum and Picarelli. Aided by the development of radioligand binding techniques, the heterogeneity of 5-HT receptors has become more apparent in the past ten years. There are three main types of 5-HT receptors: 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3. Moreover, 5-HT1 is heterogenous and can be divided into 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C and 5-HT1D subtypes. 5-HT1B is probably related to the 5-HT autoreceptor controlling 5-HT release. Multiple 5-HT receptors are differentially distributed throughout the brain, and the agonist-receptor interaction is altered by physical parameters and chemicals, suggesting that the receptors may be physiologically relevant. Three 5-HT receptor subtypes, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1C and 5-HT2, have been cloned. All three receptors contain approximately 450 amino acids arrayed as seven transmembrane domains. 5-HT1 and 5-HT1A are coupled to adenylate cyclase positively and negatively, respectively, while 5-HT1C and 5-HT2 are coupled positively to phospholipase C. 5-HT1A is also coupled to the opening of K+ channels in hippocampal pyramidal cells. A number of 5-HT-induced physiological responses have been shown to correlate with the 5-HT receptor subtypes. Based on a number of pharmacological studies, it seems likely that the mode of action of certain psychotropic drugs is closely related to the activity of central 5-HT receptors.
