1. The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and of the 5-HT1-like receptor agonists, 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and sumatriptan (GR43175) were investigated in isolated ring preparations of guinea-pig common iliac artery. 2. The three agonists induced very weak, if any, contractions of unstimulated preparations, whereas they elicited concentration-dependent contractions in preparations given a moderate tone by a threshold concentration of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). 3. Under the latter conditions, Emax values for 5-HT and 5-CT reached about 45% of PGF2 alpha maximal effect, whereas the Emax value of sumatriptan was significantly lower (about 35%). The rank order of potency (mean EC50 value, nM) was 5-CT (6.6) greater than 5-HT (22.9) greater than sumatriptan (155). Pargyline, cocaine or deoxycorticosterone were without significant effect on the contractions induced by 5-HT. 4. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, (1 alpha H, 3 alpha,5 alpha H-tropan-3-yl) 1-H-indole-3-carboxylic acid ester (ICS 205-930; 1 microM), had no effect on 5-HT-, 5-CT- and sumatriptan-induced contractions. 5. The 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, ketanserin (1 microM) caused only small rightward shifts (concentration-ratios, about 2) in the concentration-response curves to 5-HT, 5-CT and sumatriptan without significantly depressing the maximum effects. 6. In the presence of ketanserin (1 microM), the non-selective 5-HT receptor antagonist, methiothepin (0.1 microM), shifted the concentration-response curves to 5-HT and 5-CT to the right in a parallel manner and to a similar extent for both agonists (respective mean pKB values, 8.07 and 8.27). The effect of sumatriptan was also antagonized by methiothepin, but solvent effects precluded quantitative analysis of this antagonism. 7. It is concluded that 5-HT1-like receptors mediate the contractions induced by 5-HT, 5-CT and sumatriptan in guinea-pig isolated iliac artery. For reasons not yet understood, these receptors are detected only when the tissues are moderately pre-contracted by PGF2alpha.

The contractions induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and the 5-HT1-like receptor agonist, sumatriptan, were investigated in the open ring preparations of rabbit mesenteric artery in order to characterize the 5-HT receptors. 5-HT induced concentration-dependent contractions. Sumatriptan did not induce any contraction of unstimulated rings, whereas it elicited concentration-dependent contractions in preparations given a moderate tone by a threshold concentration of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). Pargyline, cocaine or normetanephrine were without significant effect on the contractions induced by 5-HT and sumatripan. The 5-HT concentration-effect curve was clearly biphasic. Methiothepin (0.01 microM) shifted the both phases of the concentration-effect curve to the right. Ketanserin (0.1 microM) shifted the second, low affinity, phase and prazosin did not alter concentration-effect curve to 5-HT. The sumatriptan concentration-effect curve was shifted by methiothepin (0.01 microM) to the right (pKB = 9.19) but not by ketanserin (1 microM). Concentration-effect curves to 5-HT and sumatriptan were not affected by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist tropisetron (1 microM). These results suggest that 5-HT1-like type receptors are responsible for the first phase of 5-HT-induced contraction and 5-HT2A receptor for the second phase, in rabbit mesenteric artery. Sumatriptan-induced contractions appear to be mediated by 5-HT1-like type receptors in this artery. These results also suggest that this kind of amplification may be a common feature of vascular 5-HT1-like type receptor as has been shown in other vascular segments such as rabbit femoral, iliac and renal arteries, and guinea-pig iliac artery.

To characterize the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors, the contractile effects of both 5-HT and the 5-HT1-like receptor agonist sumatriptan were investigated in isolated open ring preparations of the rabbit common iliac artery. 5-HT induced concentration-dependent contractions. Sumatriptan did not induce any contraction of unstimulated preparations, whereas it elicited concentration-dependent contractions in preparations given a moderate tone with a threshold concentration of prostaglandin F2 alpha. In vessel segments precontracted with prostaglandin F2 alpha, Emax values for 5-HT and sumatriptan reached about 85% and 30% of the phenylephrine maximal effect, respectively. The mean EC50 values for sumatriptan and 5-HT were 3.34 microM and 1.5 microM, respectively. Pargyline, cocaine or normetanephrine were without significant effect on the contractions induced by 5-HT or sumatriptan. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonist tropisetron (1 microM) had no effect on 5-HT- and sumatriptan-induced contractions. The 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ketanserin (0.1-1 microM) produced parallel displacements to the right of the 5-HT and phenylephrine concentration-effect curves, without significant reduction in the maximum responses. The pA2 values were 7.85 +/- 0.19 and 7.9 +/- 0.16, respectively. Ketanserin had no effect on the sumatriptan concentration-effect curves. The nonselective 5-HT receptor antagonists methysergide (0.3 microM) and methiothepin (0.01 microM) shifted the concentration-response curve to sumatriptan to the right (mean pKB values of 6.91 and 8.68, respectively). The pA2 value for prazosin against 5-HT (9.98 +/- 0.43) was not significantly different from the value against phenylephrine (9.27 +/- 0.20). These results suggest that the sumatriptan-induced contraction is mediated by a 5-HT1-like receptor, whereas an additional mechanism, probably an alpha 1-adrenoceptor stimulation, plays a role in the contraction induced by 5-HT in the rabbit iliac artery.
