1. The selective NK1 receptor antagonist, CP-99,994, produced dose-related (0.1-1.0 mg kg-1, s.c.) inhibition of vomiting and retching in ferrets challenged with central (loperamide and apomorphine), peripheral (CuSO4) and mixed central and peripheral (ipecac, cisplatin) emetic stimuli. 2. Parallel studies with the enantiomer, CP-100,263 (1 mg kg-1, s.c.), which is > 1,000 fold less potent as a NK1 antagonist, indicated that it was without significant effect against CuSO4, loperamide, cisplatin and apomorphine-induced emesis. Against ipecac, it inhibited both retching and vomiting, expressing approximately 1/10th the potency of CP-99,994. 3. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, tropisetron (1 mg kg-1, s.c.) inhibited retching and vomiting to cisplatin and ipecac, but not CuSO4 or loperamide. 4. CP-99,994 (1 mg kg-1, i.v.) blocked retching induced by electrical stimulation of the ventral abdominal vagus without affecting the cardiovascular response, the apnoeic response to central vagal stimulation or the guarding and hypertensive response to stimulation of the greater splanchnic nerves. CP-99,994 (1 mg kg-1, i.v.) did not alter baseline cardiovascular and respiratory parameters and it failed to block the characteristic heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate/depth changes in response to i.v. 2-methyl-5-HT challenge (von Bezold-Jarisch reflex). 5. Using in vitro autoradiography, [3H]-substance P was shown to bind to several regions of the ferret brainstem with the density of binding in the nucleus tractus solitarius being much greater than in the area postrema. This binding was displaced by CP-99,994 in a concentration-related manner. 6. In dogs, CP-99,994 (40 micrograms kg-1 bolus and 300 micrograms kg-1 h-1, i.v.) produced statistically significant reductions in vomiting to CuSO4 and apomorphine as well as retching to CuSO4. 7. Together, these studies support the hypothesis that the NK1 receptor antagonist properties of CP-99,994 are responsible for its broad spectrum anti-emetic effects. They also suggest that CP-99,994 acts within the brainstem, most probably within the nucleus tractus solitarius although the involvement of the area postrema could not be excluded.

SR 57227A (4-amino-(6-chloro-2-pyridyl)-1 piperidine hydrochloride) is a novel compound with high affinity and selectivity for the 5-HT3 receptor. The compound had affinities (IC50) varying between 2.8 and 250 nM for 5-HT3 receptor binding sites in rat cortical membranes and on whole NG 108-15 cells or their membranes in vitro, assayed under various conditions with [3H]S-zacopride or [3H]granisetron as radioligand. Like reference 5-HT3 receptor agonists, SR 57227A stimulated the uptake of [14C]guanidinium into NG 108-15 cells in the presence of substance P (EC50 = 208 +/- 16 nM) and contracted the isolated guinea-pig ileum (EC50 = 11.2 +/- 1.1 microM), effects that were antagonised by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist tropisetron. The agonist effect of SR 57227A was also observed in vivo, as the compound elicited the Bezold-Jarisch reflex in anesthetised rats (ED50 = 8.3 micrograms/kg i.v.), an effect that was blocked by tropisetron and R,S-zacopride, but not by methysergide. When injected unilaterally into the mouse striatum, SR 57227A, like 2-methyl-5-HT, elicited contralateral turning behaviour which was antagonised by ondansetron. Furthermore, microiontophoretic application of SR 57227A markedly inhibited the firing rate of rat cortical neurones, an effect antagonised by tropisetron. Finally, in contrast to reference 5-HT3 agonists, SR 57227A bound to 5-HT3 receptors on mouse cortical membranes after systemic administration (ED50 = 0.39 mg/kg i.p. and 0.85 mg/kg p.o.). These results suggest that SR 57227A is a potent agonist at peripheral and central 5-HT3 receptors, both in vitro and in vivo. In view of the dearth of 5-HT3 receptor agonists which are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, SR 57227A may be useful in the characterisation of the neuropharmacological effects produced by the stimulation of these receptors.

The pharmacological activity of RS 42358-197, a novel 5-HT3 receptor antagonist has been evaluated in vitro and in vivo. In functional experiments in vitro, RS 42358-197 behaved as a competitive antagonist against 5-HT-induced contractions in the guinea pig ileum (low-potency phase), yielding a pA2 estimate of 8.1. RS 42358-197 was devoid of any agonistic or antagonistic activity at 5-HT1-like receptors (contraction of canine saphenous vein), 5-HT2 receptors (contraction of rabbit aorta) or 5-HT4 receptors (contraction of guinea pig ileum, high-potency phase). RS 42358-197 failed to affect the concentration-effect curve to substance P in guinea pig ileum. In anesthetized rats. RS 42358-197, administered by the intravenous, intraduodenal or transdermal route, dose-dependently inhibited the Bezold-Jarisch reflex induced by 2-methyl 5-HT (ID50:0.05 micrograms/kg; i.v., 5.7 micrograms/kg; i.d., and 11.6 micrograms/chamber, respectively). In this regard, when administered intraduodenally, RS 42358-197 was more potent and exhibited a longer duration of action than either ondansetron or granisetron. In dogs, RS 42358-197, administered either intravenously or orally, dose-dependently inhibited the emesis induced by cisplatin, actinomycin and cyclophosphamide, but not that induced by apomorphine. When tested at maximally effective doses against cisplatin-induced emesis in dogs, RS 42358-197 had a longer duration of antiemetic activity (> 6 h) than ondansetron (2 h). RS 42358-197, administered orally, also afforded protection against cisplatin-induced emesis in ferrets. At doses that showed marked anti-emetic activity in dogs (10-100 micrograms/kg; i.v. and 100-1000 micrograms/kg; i.d.), RS 42358-197 did not produce any hemodynamic changes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The influence of substance P 3 (microgram/kg) and (+)-tubocurarine (850 micrograms/kg) on the Bezold-Jarisch reflex in urethane-anaesthetized rats was studied. The Bezold-Jarisch reflex was induced by the 5-HT3 receptor agonist phenylbiguanide (0.3, 1, 3 and 10 micrograms/kg i.v.) and by capsaicin (10 micrograms/kg i.v.). The 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron (10 micrograms/kg) abolished the phenylbiguanide- but not the capsaicin-stimulated bradycardia, indicating that phenylbiguanide and capsaicin act via different trigger mechanisms (5-HT3 receptor-dependent and -independent, respectively). Substance P significantly potentiated the phenylbiguanide- but not the capsaicin-induced decrease in heart rate. Also, when the phenylbiguanide-induced response was amplified by substance P, it was abolished by ondansetron. (+)-Tubocurarine inhibited the phenylbiguanide-induced bradycardia, but did not affect the capsaicin-stimulated decrease in heart rate. Our results demonstrate that substance P potentiates but (+)-tubocurarine inhibits the 5-HT3 receptor-mediated Bezold-Jarisch reflex. Both effects are probably due to direct influences of the drugs on the 5-HT3 receptors on sensory vagal nerves in the heart.

The interaction of S 21007 [5-(4-benzyl piperazin-1-yl)4H pyrrolo [1,2-a]thieno[3,2-e]pyrazine] with serotonin 5-HT3 receptors was investigated using biochemical, electrophysiological and functional assays. Binding studies using membranes from N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells showed that S 21007 is a selective high affinity (IC50 = 2.8 nM) 5-HT3 receptor ligand. As expected of an agonist, S 21007 stimulated the uptake of [14C]guanidinium (EC50 approximately 10 nM) in NG 108-15 cells exposed to substance P, and this effect could be prevented by the potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron. In addition, like 5-HT and other 5-HT3 receptor agonists (phenylbiguanide and 3-chloro-phenylbiguanide), S 21007 (EC50 = 27 microM) produced a rapid inward current in N1E-115 cells. The 5-HT3 receptor agonist action of S 21007 was also demonstrated in urethane-anaesthetized rats as this drug (120 micrograms/kg i.v.) triggered the Bezold-Jarisch reflex (rapid fall in heart rate), and this action could be prevented by pretreatment with the potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonist zacopride. Finally, in line with its 5-HT3 receptor agonist properties, S 21007 also triggered emesis in the ferret. Evidence for 5-HT3 receptor antagonist-like properties of S 21007 was also obtained in some of these experiments since previous exposure to this compound prevented both the 5-HT-induced current in N1E-115 cells and the Bezold-Jarisch reflex elicited by an i.v. bolus of 5-HT (30 micrograms/kg) in urethane-anaesthetized rats. These data suggest that S 21007 is a selective 5-HT3 receptor agonist which can exhibit antagonist-like properties either by triggering a long lasting receptor desensitization or by a partial agonist activity at 5-HT3 receptors in some tissues.

The TRPV1 capsaicin receptor is an integrator molecule on primary afferent neurones participating in inflammatory and nociceptive processes. The present paper characterizes the effects of JYL1421 (SC0030), a TRPV1 receptor antagonist, on capsaicin-evoked responses both in vitro and in vivo in the rat. JYL1421 concentration-dependently (0.1-2 microM) inhibited capsaicin-evoked substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide and somatostatin release from isolated tracheae, while only 2 microM resulted in a significant inhibition of electrically induced neuropeptide release. Capsazepine (0.1-2 microM), as a reference compound, similarly diminished both capsaicin-evoked and electrically evoked peptide release. JYL1421 concentration-dependently decreased capsaicin-induced Ca(2+) accumulation in cultured trigeminal ganglion cells, while capsazepine was much less effective. In vivo 2 mg/kg i.p. JYL1421, but not capsazepine, inhibited capsaicin-induced hypothermia, eye wiping movements and reflex hypotension (a component of the pulmonary chemoreflex or Bezold-Jarisch reflex). Based on these data JYL1421 is a more selective and in most models also a more potent TRPV1 receptor antagonist than capsazepine, therefore it may promote the assessment of the (patho)physiological roles of the TRPV1 receptor.

The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) receives primary afferents involved in cardiovascular regulation. We investigated the role of NK(1)-receptor bearing neurons in the NTS on cardiovascular reflexes in awake rats fitted with chronic venous and arterial cannulae. These neurons were lesioned selectively with saporin conjugated with substance P (SP-SAP, 2 microM, bilateral injections of 20 nL in the subpostremal NTS, or 200 nL in both the subpostremal and the commissural NTS). Before, and 7 and 14 days after injection of SP-SAP, we measured changes in blood pressure and heart rate induced by i.v. injection of phenylephrine and nitroprusside (baroreceptor reflex), cyanide (arterial chemoreceptor reflex), and phenylbiguanide (Bezold-Jarisch reflex). The smaller injections with SP-SAP completely abolished NK1 receptor staining in the subpostremal NTS. The larger injections abolished NK1 receptor immunoreactivity in an area that extended from the commissural NTS to the rostral end of the subpostremal NTS. The lesions seemed to affect only a limited number of neurons, since neutral red stained sections did not show any obvious reduction in cell number. The smaller lesions reduced the gain of baroreflex bradycardia and the hypotension induced by phenylbiguanide. The larger lesions completely abolished the response to phenylbiguanide, blocked the baroreflex bradycardia induced by phenylephrine, severely blunted the baroreflex tachycardia, and blocked the bradycardia and reduced the hypertension induced by cyanide. Thus, these responses depend critically on NK(1)-receptor bearing neurons in the NTS.
