We used conventional intracellular recording methods to examine the effects of YM060 [(-)-(R)-5-[(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)carbonyl]-4,5,6,7- tetrahydro-1H-benzimidazole monohydrochloride), a novel 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin)-evoked fast membrane depolarization in myenteric neurons of the guinea pig distal colon, and compared its potency to that of other 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. Microapplication of 5-HT from fine-tipped pipettes evoked both fast and slowly activating depolarizing responses in 78% and 40% of colonic myenteric neurons, respectively. The selective 5-HT3 receptor agonist 2-methyl-5-HT applied with short pressure pulses (100-300 ms) mimicked the fast but not the slow response. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonists YM060, granisetron and ondansetron suppressed the 5-HT-evoked fast response in 98% of colonic myenteric neurons in a concentration-dependent manner with pIC50 values of 8.62, 7.77 and 6.90, respectively. Methysergide and GR113808 did not affect the fast responses at concentrations sufficient to block 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT4 receptors, respectively. YM060 did not affect the slowly activating response to 5-HT or any other electrophysiological parameter of the neurons including resting membrane potential, input resistance and the amplitude of action potentials evoked by injection of depolarizing current. Stimulus-evoked fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials were unchanged by YM060 at concentrations up to 10(-8) M, excluding any possible local anesthetic or anticholinergic effects of YM060. The results confirm that the fast component of the two depolarizing responses to 5-HT in colonic myenteric neurons is mediated by 5-HT3 receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. The involvement of neurokinins in the non-cholinergically-mediated contractile response induced by stimulation of 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors has been examined in the longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparation of the guinea-pig ileum. 2. The 5-HT3 receptor agonist, 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (2-methyl-5-HT), showed a lower potency in this preparation than the more selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist 5-methoxytryptamine. The effect of both drugs was markedly reduced by atropine. 3. Substance P (SP) and neurokinin B (NKB) produced biphasic concentration-response curves in the preparation. Neurokinin A (NKA), the NK1 receptor agonist, [Sar9,Met(O2)11]SP and the NK3 receptor agonist, senktide yielded monophasic concentration-response curves. 4. After desensitization of the NK1 receptor with SP or [Sar9,met(O2)11]SP, in the presence of atropine, the contractile response to 2-methyl-5-HT was entirely blocked. Desensitization of NK3 receptors with NKB, also in the presence of atropine, fully suppressed the 5-HT4 receptor-mediated contraction evoked by 5-methoxytryptamine. 5. In preparations prelabelled with [3H]-choline, SP produced a concentration-dependent increase in tritium overflow, an index of [3H]-acetylcholine release, while an inverse relationship was found with NKB. At low neurokinin concentrations, the releasing effect of NKB was much more marked. 6. It is suggested that in the response to 5-HT3 receptor stimulation, there is a role for SP and acetylcholine. NKB appears to be preferentially involved in the release of acetylcholine elicited by stimulation of 5-HT4 receptors.

1. This study describes the in vitro interaction of the muscarinic ligand McNeil-A-343 with two 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor subtypes, the 5-HT4 and 5-HT3 receptors, using functional as well as radioligand binding studies. 2. In the rat oesophageal muscularis mucosae, precontracted with carbachol, McNeil-A-343 was a competitive antagonist (pA2 6.2) of the 5-HT4 receptor which mediates the relaxation induced by 5-HT. The compound per se relaxed the oesophagus at high concentration only (> or = 10 microM), an effect unchanged by desensitization of the 5-HT4 receptor with 10 microM 5-methoxytryptamine. In the same preparation in the absence of tone, McNeil-A-343 displaced the carbachol concentration-response curve to the right, yielding an apparent affinity (pA2) of 4.9 for muscarinic receptors. 3. In the rat isolated superior cervical ganglion preparation, after blockade of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, McNeil-A-343 caused a concentration-dependent depolarization that was unaffected by 100 nM ondansetron. The concentration-fast depolarization curve to 5-HT, mediated by the 5-HT3 receptor, was displaced to the right by McNeil-A-343, which showed an apparent affinity (pA2) of 4.8 for the 5-HT3 subtype. 4. In binding studies, McNeil-A-343 recognized a single population of 5-HT4 receptors in pig caudate nucleus, with a pKI of 5.9. The binding affinity of McNeil-A-343 for 5-HT3 receptors in NG 108-15 cells was approximately four times lower (pKI 5.3). Binding affinities (pKI) for muscarinic receptor subtypes in rat tissues were 5.3 (M1, cortex), 5.2 (M2, heart) and 4.9 (M3, submandibular glands), respectively. 5. McNeil-A-343 is an antagonist at 5-HT4 and 5-HT3 receptors; the interaction of the compound with these receptor subtypes (notably the 5-HT4) occurs in a range of concentrations which generally overlaps that relevant to the interaction with muscarinic receptors.

The role of endogenous serotinin in the formation of gastric damage was studied in rats. Stress ulcers were induced by ultrasounds, immobilization and immobilization plus cold. The damage of gastric mucosa was estimated (arbitrary scale) and serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations in this tissue measured. In all examined groups of animals with gastric mucosal damages the lower levels of 5-HT and 5-HIAA in gastric mucosa were observed. In some experimental groups animals were treated with serotonergic receptor antagonists 30 min. before stress. The administration of ICS 205-930 (80 micrograms/kg), 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, and DAU-62855 (80 micrograms/kg), 5-HT4/5-HT3 receptors antagonist, reduced the intensity of stress gastric injuries. In contrast the administration of methysergide (8 mg/kg), 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptors antagonist, enhanced the stress gastric mucosa damage. 16, 16 dimethyl PGE2 (10 micrograms/kg) protected stomach against stress stimuli and accompanied increase of serotonin and 5-HIAA concentration in gastric mucosa was observed. Both 5-HT3/5-HT4 receptor antagonist had an additive cytoprotective effect when given in combination with PGE2 analog. In the presence of methysergide gastroprotective effect of PGE2 was abolished. The present studies demonstrate that cytoprotective effect of endogenous serotonin depends on 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors stimulation in the gastric mucosa and the protective effect of prostaglandins depends partly on the regulation of serotonin metabolism.

1. In isolated detrusor strips from the guinea-pig urinary bladder, contractile responses to electrical field stimulation were mostly mediated by neurally released acetylcholine (ACh) and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). 2. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) produced a concentration-dependent increase in the amplitude of stimulated detrusor strip contractions. The 5-HT concentration-response curve showed a biphasic profile: the high potency phase was obtained at sub-micromolar concentrations (10-300 nM), while the low potency phase in the range 1-30 microM. The maximum response of the first phase was 30% of the total 5-HT response. 3. Like 5-HT, the 5-HT3 receptor agonist, 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (2-methyl-5-HT: 0.3-100 microM), the 5-HT2 receptor agonist, (+/-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI: 30 nM-3 microM) and the 5-HT4 receptor agonist, 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT: 0.1-30 microM) potentiated, though with lower potency, detrusor contractions. The resulting concentration-response curves were monophasic in nature. 2-Methyl-5-HT had a maximum effect comparable to that of 5-HT. By contrast, the maximal effects of DOI and 5-MeOT were only 20% and 30% of that elicited by 30 microM 5-HT, respectively. 4. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, granisetron (0.3 microM) had no effect on the high potency phase, but caused a rightward parallel shift of the low potency phase of the 5-HT curve (pKB = 7.3). Granisetron(0.3 microM) antagonized with comparable affinity (pKB = 7.1) 5-HT-induced responses after pharmacological isolation of 5-HT3 receptors with the 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptor antagonist, methiothepin (0.3 microM) and the 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, GR 125487 (30 nM). Granisetron (0.1, 0.3 and 1 microM) competitively antagonized the potentiating effect of 2-methyl-5-HT with an estimated pA2 of 7.3.5. Methiothepin (0.3 microM) and the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, ketanserin (0.3 microM) produced a slight inhibition of the first phase of the 5-HT curve. In the presence of ketanserin, an equimolar concentration of methiothepin was ineffective in further reducing the effect of 5-HT. Similarly, the 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, GR 125487 (30 nM) slightly inhibited the first phase of the 5-HT curve. Conversely, this phase was suppressed when detrusor strips were coincubated with ketanserin (or methiothepin) and GR125487.6. In a separate set of experiments, the interactions of 5-HT with either the purinergic or cholinergic components of excitatory neuromuscular transmission were investigated. In the presence of hyoscine(1 microM), 5-HT was mostly effective at sub-micromolar concentrations, while in the presence of the P2-purinoceptor antagonist, suramin (300 microM), 5-HT-induced potentiation was mainly obtained with micromolar concentrations.7. Thus, in electrically stimulated detrusor strips from guinea-pig, 5-HT potentiated excitatory neuromuscular transmission by activating at least three separate neural 5-HT receptors. These include the 5-HT2A and 5-HT4 receptors, which mediate the 5-HT high potency phase mainly by activation of purinergic transmission. On the other hand, the potentiating effect caused by micromolar concentrations of 5-HT mostly involves cholinergic transmission and is mediated by the 5-HT3 receptors.

Whereas serotonin and substance P stimulate in-vivo and in-vitro myoelectric activity in the small intestine, their effects on transit are unclear. We used a validated in-vivo transit model in the chloral hydrate-anaesthetized rat to study the effects of serotonin, substance P and motilin, three putative mediators of carcinoid diarrhoea, on transit through the upper digestive tract. Intra-arterial serotonin accelerated gastric emptying of a radiolabelled liquid, while motilin accelerated overall upper gastrointestinal transit. Substance P slowed overall upper gastrointestinal transit without altering gastric emptying. The antagonists to serotonin receptor subtypes, R-zacopride (5-HT3) and ketanserin (5-HT2), also accelerated rat gastric emptying of liquids; in contrast, a 5-HT4 agonist, SC53116, resulted in a less pronounced effect on gastric emptying at the dose tested. We conclude that circulating substance P is unlikely to be an important accelerator of transit through the upper digestive tract; in contrast, hyperserotoninaemia significantly accelerates transit through the stomach, and 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptor subtypes may play a role in the motor effects of serotonin in the stomach.

1. The 5-HT3 receptor-mediated cation influx into N1E-115 mouse neuroblastoma cells has been studied by the use of the organic cation [14C]-guanidinium. 2. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 30 microM) caused a time-dependent influx of [14C]-guanidinium which, in contrast to the influx elicited by veratridine (100 microM), was not inhibited by tetrodotoxin (TTX, 10 microM). The 5-HT-induced influx was potentiated by substance P and inhibited by ondansetron. 3. 5-HT and the selective 5-HT3 receptor agonists, m-chloro-phenylbiguanide, phenylbiguanide and 2-methyl-5-HT caused bell-shaped concentration-response curves; the rank order of potency was m-chloro-phenylbiguanide > 5-HT > phenylbiguanide = 2-methyl-5-HT. Among these agonists, 5-HT elicited the highest influx of [14C]-guanidinium. 5-Methoxytryptamine, an agonist at 5-HT4 receptors, showed no effect. 4. The [14C]-guanidinium influx induced by 100 microM 5-HT was not affected by methysergide (10 microM) and ketanserin (10 microM) but was inhibited by 5-HT3 receptor antagonists with the following rank order of potency: ICS 205-930 > ondansetron > MDL 72222 >> metoclopramide. 5. The 5-HT-induced [14C]-guanidinium influx was increased in the absence of Ca2+ and/or Na+ and by a reduction of the temperature from 36 degrees to 20 degrees C. 6. Preincubation with 5-HT (100 microM) caused a time-dependent and rapidly reversible decrease of the 5-HT-induced [14C]-guanidinium influx. 7. It is concluded that [14C]-guanidinium influx measurement in N1E-115 cells is a convenient method to study properties of the cation channel of the 5-HT3 receptor. This influx is independent of the fast sodium channel.

The antagonistic activities of compound N-3389 (endo-3,9-dimethyl-3,9- diazabicyclo[3,3,1]non-7-yl 1H-indazole-3-carboxamide dihydrochloride) at 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors were examined using in vitro and in vivo assays. N-3389 showed potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonistic activities in a radioligand binding assay (pKi = 8.77), against 2-methyl-5-HT (2-Me-5-HT)-induced bradycardia in rats (ED50 = 0.73 micrograms/kg i.v., 38 micrograms/kg p.o.) and against 2-Me-5-HT-induced contraction in longitudinal muscle myenteric plexus preparations of guinea-pig ileum (IC50 = 3.2 x 10(-8) M). As a preliminary to investigating the effect of N-3389 on 5-HT4 receptors, we examined the contraction induced by 5-HT in guinea-pig ileum preparations. We confirmed that 5-HT (10(-8)-10(-5) M) induced biphasic contractions in the preparations. Furthermore, 5-HT3 receptor antagonism inhibited the late phase of the contraction induced by high concentrations of 5-HT (3 x 10(-6)-10(-5) M), whereas 5-HT4 receptor antagonism inhibited the early phase of the contraction induced by low concentrations of 5-HT (10(-8)-10(-6) M). N-3389 (10(-7)-10(-5) M) inhibited both phases of contraction induced by 5-HT. In addition, N-3389 (3 x 10(-7)-3 x 10(-6) M) was found to inhibit the increase of electrically stimulated twitch responses induced by 5-HT (10(-8) M) longitudinal muscle myenteric plexus preparation of the guinea-pig ileum. These results suggest that N-3389 acts as a 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptor antagonist.

1. In the presence of atropine (0.2 microM) and indomethacin (2 microM), the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) have been studied on electrically-evoked, neurogenic contractions of the guinea-pig proximal colon in vitro. 2. 5-HT, at higher concentrations than 1 nM, caused an increase in electrically (1 Hz, 0.3 ms, 160 mA)-evoked, atropine-resistant contractions in a concentration-dependent manner and at 30 nM produced a maximal effect (pEC50 value of 8.20 +/- 0.11, n = 6). The enhancing effects of 5-HT on the electrically evoked contractions were mimicked by alpha-methyl-5-HT (pEC50 value of 6.59 +/- 0.05, n = 6). 3. Both hexamethonium (100 microM) and spantide (10 microM), selective antagonists for nicotinic and tachykinin receptors respectively, significantly reduced the enhancement of the electrically evoked contractions by 5-HT (30 nM). 4. DAU 6285 (3 microM), a 5-HT4 receptor antagonist, abolished the enhancing action of 5-HT (30 nM), but metitepine (0.03 microM), a 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptor antagonist, ketanserin (0.01 microM), a 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, and ondansetron (1 microM), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, had no effect on the enhancement. The enhancing effects of alpha-methyl-5-HT (1 microM) were also abolished by DAU 6285 (3 microM). 5. Both 5-HT (30 nM) and alpha-methyl-5-HT (1 microM) had no effect on contractions to exogenous substance P (0.15-0.3 nM). 6. These results indicate that in the guinea-pig proximal colon, 5-HT produced an enhancement of atropine-resistant neurogenic contraction induced by electrical field stimulation through pre-junctional mechanisms and that the enhancement is mediated by the stimulation of 5-HT4 receptors located on intramural preganglionic cholinergic neurones and tachykininergic neurones.

1. A series of isoquinolines have been identified as 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. One of these, RS 25259-197 [(3aS)-2-[(S)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl]-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro- 1- oxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-hydrochloride], has two chiral centres. The remaining three enantiomers are denoted as RS 25259-198 (R,R), RS 25233-197 (S,R) and RS 25233-198 (R,S). 2. At 5-HT3 receptors mediating contraction of guinea-pig isolated ileum, RS 25259-197 antagonized contractile responses to 5-HT in an unsurmountable fashion and the apparent affinity (pKB), estimated at 10 nM, was 8.8 +/- 0.2. In this tissue, the -log KB values for the other three enantiomers were 6.7 +/- 0.3 (R,R), 6.7 +/- 0.1 (S,R) and 7.4 +/- 0.1 (R,S), respectively. The apparent affinities of RS 25259-197 and RS 25259-198, RS 25233-197 and RS 25233-198 at 5-HT3 receptors in membranes from NG-108-15 cells were evaluated by a [3H]-quipazine binding assay. The -log Ki values were 10.5 +/- 0.2, 8.4 +/- 0.1, 8.6 +/- 0.1 and 9.5 +/- 0.1, respectively, with Hill coefficients not significantly different from unity. Thus, at these 5-HT3 receptors, the rank order of apparent affinities was (S,S) > (R,S) > (S,R) = (R,R). 3. RS 25259-197 displaced the binding of the selective 5-HT3 receptor ligand, [3H]-RS 42358-197, in membranes from NG-108-15 cells, rat cerebral cortex, rabbit ileal myenteric plexus and guinea-pig ileal myenteric plexus, with affinity (pKi) values of 10.1 +/- 0.1, 10.2 +/- 0.1, 10.1 +/- 0.1 and 8.3 +/- 0.2, respectively. In contrast, it exhibited low affinity (pKi <6.0) at 28 other receptors in binding assays, including adrenoceptors (alpha1A, alpha 1B, alpha2A, alpha 2B ,beta1, beta2), muscarinic (M1-M4), dopamine (D1, D2), opioid and other 5-HT(5-HTlA, 5-HTlD, 5-HT2C, 5-HT4) receptors.4. RS 25259-197 was tritium labelled (specific activity: 70 Ci mmol-1) and evaluated in pharmacological studies. Saturation studies with [3H]-RS 25259-197 in membranes from NG-108-15 and cloned homomeric a subunits of the 5-HT3 receptor from N1E-1 15 cells expressed in human kidney 293E1 cells,revealed an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.05 +/- 0.02 and 0.07 +/- 0.01 nM, and Bmax of610 +/- 60 and 1068 +/- 88 fmol mg-1, respectively. Competition studies in NG-108-15 cells indicated a pharmacological specificity entirely consistent with labelling a 5-HT3 receptor, i.e. RS 25259-197> granisetron> (S)-zacopride> tropisetron> (R)-zacopride> ondansetron> MDL 72222.5. In contrast to the majority of radioligands available to label 5-HT3 receptors, [3H]-RS 25259-197 labelled a high affinity site in hippocampus from human post-mortem tissue with an equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.15 +/- 0.07 nM and density (BmaX) of 6.8 +/- 2.4 fmol mg-1 protein. Competition studies in this tissue indicated a pharmacological specificity consistent with labelling of a 5-HT3receptor.6. Quantitative autoradiographic studies in rat brain indicated a differential distribution of 5-HT3receptor sites by [3H]-RS 25259-197. High densities of sites were seen in nuclear tractus solitaris and area postrema, a medium density in spinal trigeminal tract, ventral dentate gyrus and basal medial amygdala,and a low density of sites in hippocampal CAl, parietal cortex, medium raphe and cerebellum.7 In conclusion, the functional, binding and distribution studies undertaken with the radiolabelled and non-radiolabelled RS 25259-197 (S,S enantiomer) established the profile of a highly potent and selective5-HT3 receptor antagonist.
