In vivo and in vitro methods were used to characterize AHR-16303B, a novel compound with antagonistic action at 5-HT2 receptors and voltage-sensitive calcium channels. The 5-HT2 receptor-antagonistic properties of AHR-16303B were demonstrated by inhibition of (a) [3H]ketanserin binding to rat cerebral cortical membranes (IC50 = 165 nM); (b) 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced foot edema in rats (minimum effective dose, (MED) = 0.32 mg/kg orally, p.o.); (c) 5-HT-induced vasopressor responses in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) (ID50 = 0.18 mg/kg intravenously (i.v.), 1.8 mg/kg p.o.), (d) 5-HT-induced antidiuresis in rats (MED = 1 mg/kg p.o.), and (e) platelet aggregation induced by 5-HT + ADP (IC50 = 1.5 mM). The calcium antagonist properties of AHR-16303B were demonstrated by inhibition of (a) [3H]nimodipine binding to voltage-sensitive calcium channels on rabbit skeletal muscle membranes (IC50 = 15 nM), (b) KCl-stimulated calcium flux into cultured PC12 cells (IC50 = 81 nM), and (c) CaCl2-induced contractions of rabbit thoracic aortic strips (pA2 = 8.84). AHR-16303B had little or no effect on binding of radioligands to dopamine2 (DA2) alpha 1, alpha 2, H1, 5-HT1 alpha, beta 2, muscarinic M1, or sigma opioid receptors; had no effect on 5-HT3 receptor-mediated vagal bradycardia; and had only minor negative inotropic, chronotropic, and dromotropic effects on isolated guinea pig atria. In conscious SHR, 30 mg/kg p.o. AHR-16303B completely prevented the vasopressor responses to i.v. 5-HT, and decreased blood pressure (BP) by 24% 3 h after dosing.

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 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors mediating contraction in human isolated mesenteric arteries were characterized. Endothelium-denuded human isolated mesenteric arteries were used. 5-HT induced concentration-dependent contractions in mesenteric arteries (Emax, 127.37 +/- 7.61% of 80 mM KCl maximal contraction; pD2, 6.73 +/- 0.09 [-logEC50]). Sumatriptan, a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist, induced concentration-dependent contractions in some of the arteries (Emax, 61.82 +/- 10.04%; pD2, 6.56 +/- 0.21, n = 9) but not in the others (Emax < 5%, n = 13), suggesting that functional 5-HT1B/1D receptors exist in some but not in all mesenteric arteries. GR127935 (a selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor antagonist, 3 nM) inhibited sumatriptan-induced contractions in arteries in which sumatriptan responses were strong in an insurmountable manner. GR127935 (10 nM) also inhibited 5-HT responses and shifted the concentration-response curve of 5-HT to the right significantly (p < 0.05; pD2s were 6.54 +/- 0.18 and 5.93 +/- 0.11 in the presence of vehicle and GR127935, respectively). Ketanserin (0.01-1 microM) competitively antagonized 5-HT responses in human mesenteric arteries: pA2 value was 8.40 +/- 0.25 (slope of Schild regression, 1.43 +/- 0.18; r2, 0.98). Tropisetron (5-HT3 receptor antagonist) and prazosin (alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist) did not affect the contractions induced by 5-HT. These results suggest that 5-HT2A and 5-HT1B/1D receptors, but not 5-HT3 and alpha1-adrenoceptors, are involved in the 5-HT-induced contractions in human isolated mesenteric arteries. Sumatriptan-induced and 5-HT1B/1D receptor-mediated responses vary greatly among patients.
