The emetic effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-HT3 receptor agonists were investigated in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; i.p., i.v., s.c.) and 2-methyl-5-HT (2-Me-5-HT; i.p.) but not 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (i.p.) or 5-methoxytryptamine (i.p.) induced emesis with very short latency. Tropisetron (ICS 205-930, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, s.c.) blocked the emesis induced by 5-HT (10 mg/kg, i.p.) and 2-Me-5-HT (5 mg/kg, i.p.) with respective ID50 values of 7.8 and 70.9 micrograms/kg. Pindolol (5-HT1 receptor antagonist) and ketanserin (5-HT2 receptor antagonist) were about 100 times less potent than tropisetron. The emesis induced by 5-HT was prevented by surgical vagotomy but not by pretreatment with a combination of atropine (0.1 mg/kg, s.c.) and hexamethonium (10 mg/kg, s.c.). These results clearly indicate that 5-HT is emetogenic probably through a stimulation of peripheral 5-HT3 receptors.

The selective dopamine D-1 receptor antagonist SCH 23390 has been tested in vitro in the rat fundus model and in vivo in the electrically stimulated flexor reflex model. In the fundus model, SCH 23390 showed a potent agonistic activity compared to that of different 5-HT receptor agonists. Pindolol, 1-propranolol and pirenperone showed no or only weak inhibition of the SCH 23390-induced contractions in the fundus strip whereas methysergide was a potent inhibitor. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ICS 205-930 did not induce an inhibitory effect. In the electrically stimulated flexor reflex model in pithed rats, SCH 23390 induced a marked increase of the reflex. This increase was slightly inhibited by a mixed dopamine (DA) D-1/D-2 antagonist cis(Z)-flupentixol and by a specific DA D-2 antagonist YM 09151-2. Different reference antagonists: bicuculline (GABAergic), propranolol (beta-adrenergic), scopolamine (muscarinic), yohimbine (alpha 2-adrenergic), prazosin (alpha 1-adrenergic) were all without an antagonist effect on the SCH 23390-induced increase of the flexor reflex. Ketanserin, a selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, showed a weak and short-lasting inhibition of the SCH 23390 effect in high doses, whereas ritanserin showed only 35% inhibition of the SCH 23390-induced flexor reflex at a dose of 1.3 mumol/kg i.v. The mixed 5-HT1/5-HT2 antagonists methiothepin and metergoline showed a marked inhibitory effect at 2.6 mumol/kg i.v. and 3.1 mumol/kg i.v., respectively (1.3 mg/kg i.v.). These findings suggest that SCH 23390 might possess 5-HT1 receptor agonist activity.

To elucidate the mechanism of antinociceptive effects of calcitonin, we investigated whether receptor antagonists for various neurotransmitter receptors alter the inhibitory effect of calcitonin on intrathecally injected N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced aversive behavior in mice. Neither naloxone, an opioid receptor antagonist, phentolamine and benextramine, alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists, nor ritanserin, a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, inhibited the calcitonin-induced anti-aversive effects. Pindolol and (--)-propranolol, non-selective antagonists of beta-adrenoceptors and 5-HT1 receptors, 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phethalimido) butyl]-piperazine hydrobromide (NAN-190), a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, 3-tropanyl-3,5-dichlorobenzoate (MDL72222) and metoclopramide, 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, significantly inhibited the calcitonin-induced anti-aversive effects. (--)-Bicuculline, a GABAA receptor antagonist, phaclofen and 5-aminovaleric acid, GABAB receptor antagonists, also attenuated the calcitonin-induced anti-aversive effects. These results suggest that beta-adrenoceptor, 5-HT1A, 5-HT3, GABAA and GABAB receptors, but not alpha-adrenoceptor, opioid nor 5-HT2A receptors, are involved in the inhibitory effect of calcitonin on intrathecally injected N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced aversive behavior in mice.

The present study was undertaken to identify the receptor subtypes involved in (+/-) pindolol's ability to enhance the effects of antidepressant drugs in the mouse forced swimming test. Interaction studies were performed with S 15535 (presynaptic 5-HT1A receptor agonist) and methiothepin (5-HT1B autoreceptor antagonist) in an attempt to attenuate or potentiate antidepressant-like activity. (+/-) Pindolol was tested in combination with selective agonists and antagonists at 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptor subtypes. Pretreatment with S 15535 and methiothepin attenuated the activity of paroxetine, fluvoxamine and citalopram (32 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.01). (+/-) Pindolol (32 mg/kg, i.p.) induced significant anti-immobility effects when tested in combination with 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridyl)-1H-indole (RU 24969) (1 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.05), 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[-(2-phthalimido) butyl]piperazine) (NAN 190) (0.5 mg/kg; P < 0.05) and ondansetron (0.00001 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.01). Pretreatment with NAN 190 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) potentiated the effects of RU 24969 (1 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.05) and (+/-) pindolol (32 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.05) in the forced swimming test, as did ondansetron (0.00001 mg/kg, i.p.). Significant additive effects were induced when RU 24969 (1 mg/kg, i.p.) was tested in combination with NAN 190 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.05), (+/-) pindolol (32 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.05) and ondansetron (0.0000 mg/kg, i.p.; P < 0.05). 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (1 mg/kg, i.p.) or ketanserin (8 mg/kg, i.p.) did not induce significant antidepressant-like effects with any of the agonists/antagonists tested. The results of the present study suggest that pindolol is acting at presynaptic 5-HT1B serotonergic receptors, in addition to the 5-HT1A subtype, in augmenting the activity of antidepressants in the mouse forced swimming test.
