Serotonin (5-HT) receptors in the myenteric plexus mediate contractility in vitro and may regulate gastric emptying in vivo. This report examines the pharmacology of three benzamides, ML-1035 (4-amino-5-chloro-2-[2-(methylsulfinyl)-ethoxy]-N-[2- (diethylamino)ethyl]-benzamide hydrochloride), metoclopramide and cisapride, in studies which address the serotonergic mechanisms underlying benzamide-induced gastroprokinesis. All three compounds had high affinity at the 5-HT3 receptor as they displaced the 5-HT3 antagonist [3H]GR65630 from cortical membranes (Ki = 156, 232 and 1711 nM for ML-1035, metoclopramide and cisapride, respectively) and blocked the 5-HT-induced Bezold-Jarisch reflex, although cisapride was much less active in this experiment. Receptor selectivity was also compared at 5-HT1, 5-HT2, and dopamine D2 receptors in which no displacement was observed that was common to all agents. All benzamides elicited a 5-HT4-like agonist response as they enhanced field-stimulated neurogenic contractions in ileum (EC50 = 1.4, 1.6 and 0.013 microM for ML-1035, metoclopramide and cisapride, respectively). ICS 205-930, a proposed 5-HT4 antagonist, competitively antagonized this response for ML-1035 (Kb = 1.6 microM) whereas atropine blocked the twitch response and any additional responses to ML-1035. In vivo, ML-1035 and metoclopramide increased gastric emptying (IC50 = 0.87 and 3.09 mg/kg i.p., respectively). Thus, the benzamides activate a 5-HT4 receptor in the ileum which increases cholinergic contractions and may be one mechanism by which these agents increase gastric emptying.

YM060 [(R)-5-[(1-methyl-3-indolyl)carbonyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzimida zol e hydrochloride], is structurally independent of other 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. We investigated in vivo 5-HT3 receptor blocking activity of YM060 and compared results with those of its enantiomer (S-form), ondansetron (GR38032F), granisetron (BRL43694), ICS205-930 [(3 alpha-tropanyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid ester], LY277359 [endo-5-chloro-2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1] oct-3-yl)-7-benzofuran-carboxamide-(Z)-2-butenedioate (1:1)], Y25130 [(+-)-N-(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl)-6-chloro-4-methyl-3-oxo-3,4- dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-8-carboxamide hydrochloride] and zacopride [(R,S)4-amino-N-[1-azabicyclo (2.2.2)oct-3-yl]-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzamide(E)-2-butenedioat e]. YM060 injected i.v. dose-dependently inhibited the reduction in heart rate induced by 5-HT (30 micrograms/kg i.v.) in rats (von Bezold-Jarisch reflex) with an ED50 value of 0.036 (0.031-0.041) micrograms/kg (n = 3-5). Based on these values, YM060 was 53, 18, 23, 16, 11 and 4 times as potent as ondansetron, granisetron, ICS205-930, LY277359, Y25130 and zacopride, respectively. The S-form of YM060 also inhibited 5-HT-induced bradycardia, but with a potency approximately 250 times less than that of YM060 (R-form). YM060 dosed p.o. also inhibited 5-HT-induced bradycardia with an ED50 value of 0.59 (0.44-0.80) micrograms/kg (n = 3-5), indicating the drug to be 387, 66, 97, 6 and 16 times more potent than ondansetron, granisetron, ICS205-930, LY277359 and Y25130, respectively, but 2 times less potent than zacopride. Bioavailability of YM060 based on the p.o.-to-i.v. ED50 ratio (p.o./i.v. = 16) was lower than those of zacopride (2) and LY277359 (6), similar to that of Y25130 (22) and better than those of ondansetron (109), granisetron (60) and ICS205-930 (71).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1-(m-Chlorophenyl)-biguanide (mCPBG) was examined and compared with three 5-HT3 receptor agonists in three 5-HT3 receptor models. mCPBG inhibited [3H]GR67330 binding to 5-HT3 receptors with high affinity (IC50 1.5 nM). mCPBG depolarized the rat vagus nerve with an EC50 one tenth of that for 5-HT (0.05 vs. 0.46 microM); the maximum depolarization was approximately half that for 5-HT. The mCPBG depolarization was potently blocked by the selective 5-HT3 antagonist, ondansetron (pKB 8.6 +/- 0.1). In anaesthetised cats, mCPBG potently evoked the Bezold-Jarisch reflex which was blocked by low doses of ondansetron (10 micrograms/kg i.v.). It is concluded that mCPBG is a potent, high affinity 5-HT3 receptor agonist.

A novel structural class of highly potent and selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonists is described. The compounds in this new series contain a thiazole moiety linking an aromatic group and a nitrogen-containing basic region; the thiazole group appears to be acting as a carbonyl bioisostere in this system. An optimized member of this series, 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-[[4(5)-methyl-5(4)-imidazolyl]methyl]thiazole (5), exhibits oral activity in the Bezold-Jarisch reflex paradigm comparable to or better than the standard agents ondansetron (1) and ICS-205-930 (2). Several of the structure-activity relationships are rationalized in terms of a computer pharmacophore model for 5-HT3 receptor binding.

The effect of ketanserin (3 mg/kg i.v.) on the baroreceptor heart rate reflex and the Bezold-Jarisch reflex was examined in conscious Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). In the control situation (before ketanserin treatment), reflex bradycardia in response to phenylephrine (baroreflex) and phenyldiguanide (Bezold-Jarisch reflex) were impaired in SHR as compared with WKY, while reflex tachycardia in response to nitroprusside was similar in the two groups. However, after ketanserin administration in SHR, there was a reversal of the baroreflex-mediated tachycardia in response to nitroprusside into a bradycardic response. The nitroprusside-induced bradycardia was not caused by the release of 5-HT stimulating chemosensitive vagal afferents since the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist MDL 72222 did not block this response. In the same SHR, the Bezold-Jarisch reflex evoked by phenyldiguanide and the phenylephrine-induced bradycardia were potentiated by ketanserin. All the above effects of ketanserin were less evident in the WKY. Ketanserin did not alter vagal efferent function in anaesthetized SHR since it did not affect bradycardia induced by electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. Therefore, it is suggested that ketanserin has sensitised cardiac vagal afferent mechanisms in SHR, which led to a normalization of reflex bradycardic function to a level normally observed in conscious normotensive WKY (i.e. prior to ketanserin treatment).

The selective "5-HT1-like" receptor agonist 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT, 0.2-1.6 micrograms/kg bolus i.v.), serotonin (5-HT, 3-10 micrograms/kg), and phenylbiguanide (10-40 micrograms/kg) all elicited the "Bezold-Jarisch-like" bradycardia reflex in conscious rabbits. This reflex was antagonised by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, MDL 72222. After autonomic blockade (mecamylamine), 5-CT and 5-HT infusion (i.v.) caused renal artery spasm (Doppler flowmeter) that was antagonised by ketanserin, a 5-HT2-receptor antagonist. Both 5-CT and 5-HT caused 5-HT1-like receptor mediated increases in hindquarter conductance that were unaltered by ketanserin (0.5 mg/kg). The anomalous 5-HT3 and 5-HT2 receptor actions of 5-CT were completely prevented by 16 h pretreatment with reserpine (5 mg/kg) that lowered total serum serotonin to less than 3% of normal but did not reduce the cardiovascular actions of 5-HT. Fluoxetine (1 mg/kg i.v.), an inhibitor of 5-HT uptake into platelets, significantly attenuated the Bezold-Jarisch-like reflex evoked by 5-CT but not by 5-HT. These studies suggest that 5-CT is carried into platelets where it releases 5-HT. This illustrates how apparent receptor selectivity asserted in in vitro assays can be destroyed in vivo.

The well-documented 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, ICS 205-930 and GR38032F, have been compared with regard to their inhibitory activity at 5-HT3 receptors to another gastrokinetic agent, zacopride. Zacopride and ICS 205-930 showed similar affinity (-log kB approximately 8.0), whereas GR38032F showed lower affinity (-log ka approximately 7.0) at 5-HT3 receptors in the guinea pig ileum. After i.v. administration to anesthetized rats, zacopride was approximately 10-fold more potent than either ICS 205-930 or GR38032F, which were equipotent as inhibitors of serotonin-induced bradycardia (5-HT3-mediated activation of the von Bezold Jarisch reflex). After oral administration to anesthetized rats, zacopride remained approximately 10-fold more potent than ICS 205-903, which was approximately 2-fold more potent than GR38032F as an inhibitor of serotonin-induced bradycardia. Furthermore, the inhibitory effectiveness of GR38032F persisted for less than 3 hr after oral administration and for less than 15 min after intravenous administration. ICS 205-930 produced maximal inhibition of serotonin-induced bradycardia for over 3 hr with heart rate returning to control values 6 hr after oral administration. Zacopride possessed the longest duration of inhibitory effectiveness in urethane-anesthetized rats with maximal inhibition still apparent 6 hr after oral administration. All three agents inhibited cisplatin-induced emesis after i.v. administration in dogs with zacopride being 10-fold more potent than ICS 205-930 or GR38032F, which were equipotent. These comparative data with three 5-HT3 receptor antagonists indicate that in animals, zacopride was more potent and longer acting than either ICS 205-930 or GR38032F. Furthermore, after oral administration to rats, GR38032F was slightly less potent than ICS 205-930 and possessed the shortest duration of action.

The activity of BRL 43694 (granisetron) was investigated using established models of 5-HT3 receptor activity. In guinea-pig isolated ileum, BRL 43694 antagonised the contractions evoked by relatively high concentrations of 5-HT (pA2 = 8.1 +/- 0.2). However, except in high concentrations, BRL 43694 did not affect the contractions of similar preparations of ileum, evoked by electrical field stimulation (cholinergically mediated), the nicotinic agonist dimethylphenyl piperazinium (DMPP) or by cholecystokinin octapeptide. Similarly, BRL 43694 did not affect electrically evoked, cholinergically mediated contractions of rat or human isolated stomach. In other models of 5-HT3 receptor activity (rabbit isolated heart, Bezold-Jarisch reflex in anaesthetised rats), potent antagonism by BRL 43694 was demonstrated. In radioligand binding studies on rat brain membranes, BRL 43694 had little or no affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT2 or for many other binding sites. BRL 43694 may therefore be a potent and selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist.

The substituted benzamide derivative zacopride was found to antagonize competitively the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the guinea-pig ileum, the rabbit vagus nerve and the von Bezold Jarisch reflex in the rat. The potency of zacopride was comparable with that of ICS 205-930 and it is concluded that zacopride possesses 5-HT3 receptor antagonizing properties.

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.
