Administration of m-chlorophenylpiperazine [m-CPP, a serotonin (5-HT) agonist] to rats increases plasma concentrations of prolactin and corticosterone. Pretreatment with various doses of ritanserin (5-HT1C/5-HT2 antagonist), ICS 205-930 and MDL-72222 (5-HT3 antagonists), iodocyanopindolol or CG361A (beta adrenoceptor antagonists) and spiperone (5-HT1A/5-HT2 antagonist) did not attenuate m-CPP-induced increases in plasma concentrations of prolactin. In contrast, pretreatment with various doses of metergoline (5-HT1/5-HT2 antagonist), propranolol (beta adrenoceptor antagonist that also has binding affinity for 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and 5-HT1C sites), mesulergine and mianserin (5-HT1C/5-HT2 antagonists) attenuated m-CPP-induced increases in plasma prolactin. On the other hand, m-CPP-induced increases in corticosterone concentrations were attenuated only by pretreatment with a low dose of mianserin and a high dose of spiperone. When administered without m-CPP, metergoline, mesulergine, ritanserin, ICS 205-930 and high doses of mianserin, spiperone and propranolol increased plasma corticosterone secretion. On the other hand, none of the antagonists used in the present study, except spiperone, had any significant effect on plasma prolactin secretion. These findings suggest that m-CPP-induced prolactin secretion is mediated by stimulation of 5-HT1C receptors while corticosterone secretion may be mediated either by an antagonistic effect at 5-HT3 receptor subtype or by nonserotonergic mechanisms. Alternatively, enhancement of corticosterone secretion by the 5-HT antagonists when administered alone may be responsible for their failure to block m-CPP-induced corticosterone secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The involvement of visceral afferent fibers and 5-HT3 receptors in the emesis induced by cisplatin was studied in beagle dogs. The emesis induced by cisplatin (3 mg/kg, i.v.) was inhibited by the intravenous administration of ICS205930 (2 x 0.01 or 2 x 0.1 mg/kg) and MDL72222 (2 x 0.5 mg/kg), 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, but not by the intravenous administration of metoclopramide (2 x 0.5 mg/kg), a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist. The cisplatin-induced emesis was also suppressed by the intravenous administration of para-chlorophenylalanine (300 mg/kg/day for 3 days), an inhibitor of 5-HT synthesis. On the other hand, the administration of ICS205930 into the IVth ventricle (2 x 0.01 mg/animal) had no effects on the cisplatin-induced emesis. The cisplatin-induced emesis was completely inhibited by abdominal vagotomy and splanchnicectomy, but not by splanchnicectomy alone. On the contrary, the emesis induced by apomorphine was suppressed by the intravenous (0.1 mg/kg) or intracerebroventricular (0.05 mg/animal) administration of metoclopramide, but not by visceral nerve section. These results strongly suggest that cisplatin evokes emesis mainly by acting on the vagal afferent terminals through the release of 5-HT and that peripheral 5-HT3 receptors are involved in this action.

Serotonin (5-HT) appears to be involved in the central control of the prolactin (PRL) response to suckling and estrogen. Furthermore, 5-HT may participate in the mediation of stress-induced PRL release. In order further to elucidate the role of 5-HT and the type of 5-HT receptor(s) involved in the PRL response to stress, we investigated the effect of blockade of 5-HT1, 5-HT2 or 5-HT3 receptors on the restraint or ether stress-induced release of PRL in male rats. Pretreatment with the 5-HT1 + 2 receptor antagonist methysergide (0.5 or 2.5 mg/kg i.p.) inhibited or prevented the PRL response to restraint or ether stress. Pretreatment with the 5-HT2 receptor antagonists ketanserin or LY 53857 (0.5 or 2.5 mg/kg i.p.) inhibited the response to restraint or ether stress approximately 30 or 60%, respectively. Higher doses of both 5-HT2 receptor antagonists (10 mg/kg i.p.) had a minor inhibitory effect (5-30% for ketanserin and 50% for LY 53857). Prior intraperitoneal administration of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists ICS 205-930 or GR 38032F (0.05-2.5 mg/kg i.p.) inhibited the restraint stress-induced PRL release dose-dependently. Both compounds inhibited the PRL response to ether stress, but only the effect of GR was dose-related. The maximal inhibitory effect (70% inhibition of the PRL response to restraint or ether stress) was obtained for both compounds at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg. We conclude that serotonergic neurons are involved in the mediation of the stress-induced PRL release by activation of 5-HT1, 5-HT2 as well as 5-HT3 receptors.

In the present study, we have shown that cocaine is significantly more potent in suppressing the firing rate of dopamine cells in the ventral tegmental area (VTA or A10) than in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC or A9). We have also determined the ability of several 5-HT3 receptor antagonists to alter the electrophysiological response of A10 dopamine neurons in the rat to cocaine, as these compounds have been implicated in modulating the effects of drugs of abuse on the dopamine system. It was found that the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists ICS205-930, zacopride and ondansetron do not alter either the firing rate or cocaine-induced suppression of the basal firing rate of A10 dopamine cells.

Pancopride ((+-)N-(1-azabicyclo-[2,2,2]-oct-3-yl)-2-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-ami no-5-chlorobenzamide) is a new potent and selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, orally and parenterally effective against cytotoxic drug-induced emesis. In vitro, pancopride displayed high affinity (Ki = 0.40 nM) for [3H]GR65630-labelled 5-HT3 recognition sites in membranes from the cortex of rat brains. In vivo, pancopride antagonized 5-HT-induced bradycardia in anaesthetized rats when administered i.v. 5 min (ID50 = 0.56 microgram/kg) or p.o. 60 min (ID50 = 8.7 micrograms/kg) before 5-HT challenge. A single oral dose (10 micrograms/kg) of pancopride produced a significant inhibition of the bradycardic reflex over an 8-h period. Pancopride dose dependently inhibited the number of vomiting episodes and delayed the onset of vomiting induced by cisplatin in dogs (ID50 = 3.6 micrograms/kg i.v. and 7.1 micrograms/kg p.o.). Pancopride was also effective in blocking mechlorethamine- and dacarbazine-induced emesis. Unlike metoclopramide, pancopride was shown to lack any measurable antidopaminergic activity both in vitro and in vivo. These results support clinical data, indicating that pancopride will be a useful drug for treating cytostatic-induced emesis in humans.

The 5-HT receptor that mediates relaxation of circular muscle strips of the guinea-pig stomach fundus under resting tone was investigated. Concentration-dependent relaxation was obtained in the presence of atropine (0.2 microM) with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) (apparent mean pEC50 value, 5.27), 5-carboxamidotryptamine (7.35), 5-methoxytryptamine (4.98) and 5-methyltryptamine (4.58). 1-(m-Trifluoromethyl-phenyl)piperazine and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n- propylamino)tetralin acted as partial agonists while 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, alpha-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, sumatriptan, metoclopramide and cisapride had little or no effect on the guinea-pig stomach fundus. The concentration-response curve for 5-HT was not affected by tetrodotoxin (0.3 microM), guanethidine (5 microM) or indomethacin (2 microM), suggesting that the relaxation is non-neuronal in origin and is independent of the release of catecholamines or prostanoids. The non-selective 5-HT receptor antagonist, metitepine (0.03-0.1 microM), the 5-HT1C/5-HT2 receptor antagonists, mianserin (0.3-1 microM), pizotifen (0.3-1 microM), ketanserin (3-10 microM), and the 5-HT1A/5-HT2 receptor antagonist, spiperone (3 microM), shifted the concentration-response curves for 5-HT to the right. A 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ICS205-930 (1 microM), propranolol (1 microM) and phentolamine (1 microM) failed to block the 5-HT-induced relaxation. In conclusion, the results found with agonists and antagonists are compatible with the view that a 5-HT1-like receptor is involved in 5-HT-induced direct relaxation of circular muscle of guinea-pig stomach fundus.

The effect of 5-HT3 receptor agonists and antagonists on the hypoxia/hypoglycemia (ischemia)-induced decrease in CA1 field potential elicited by stimulation of Schaffer collaterals was investigated using rat hippocampal slices. Treatment with the 5-HT3 receptor agonist, 2-methyl-5-HT (1-10 microM), exacerbated the ischemia-induced decreased in CA1 field potential, whereas treatment with the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, Y-25130 (0.1-100 microM), or the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, ketanserin (10, 100 microM), produced dose-dependent neuroprotection against the ischemia-induced decrease. However, in normal non-ischemic solution these treatments did not significantly change the CA1 field potential. The protective action of Y-25130 was blocked by co-treatment with 2-methyl-5-HT. The magnitude of protection in the Y-25130-treated group (EC50, 1.8 microM) was about 20 times greater than that in the ketanserin-treated group (EC50, 33 microM). The present study demonstrated that stimulation of 5-HT3 receptors plays a detrimental role in the development of ischemic damage, whereas blockade of the 5-HT3 receptor plays a neuroprotective role in ischemic damage, suggesting a facilitatory role of 5-HT neurons in ischemia-induced neuronal deficits.

Grease-gap recordings revealed that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) depolarized the ferret vagus nerve (pEC50 = 4.9). This response was mimicked by 2-methyl-5-HT and 1-phenylbiguanide, but not by 5-carboxamidotryptamine. Paroxetine (1 microM) or ketamine (10 microM) did not potentiate the response. Ketanserin (1 microM) did not reduce the depolarization, but four 5-HT3 receptor antagonists did. It is concluded that 5-HT depolarizes the ferret vagus nerve via 5-HT3 receptors, but these receptors may differ pharmacologically from those in other species.

5-HT3 receptor antagonists such as ondansetron, granisetron, ICS205-930 and zacopride are highly effective in the ferret, cat or dog to prevent emesis caused by cisplatin and other chemotherapeutic agents, and radiation treatment. The anti-emetic effects may be mediated centrally in the area postrema and associated structures of the emetic reflex such as the nucleus tractus solitarius, which have a very high density of 5-HT3 receptors. Additional sites of action may be found on the 5-HT3 receptors located on the vagus nerve or enteric neuronal elements in the gastro-intestinal tract. The precise site(s) and mechanism(s) of action of different cytotoxic treatments to induce emesis remains to be determined, but appears to involve a common action on a 5-HT3 system. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonists do not impair normal behaviour and, in particular, fail to affect the extrapyramidal motor system and do not cause sedation. Of potential benefit, the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists have an anxiolytic profile of action in rodent and primate models. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are revealed as an important group of drugs to prevent emesis induced by a wide range of cytotoxic treatments.

The 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)3 receptor blocking properties of YM060, [(R)-5-[(1-methyl-3-indolyl)carbonyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H- benzimidazole hydrochloride], were examined by electrophysiological and radioligand binding studies. Results were compared with those for ondansetron, granisetron and the enantiomer (S-form) of YM060. 5-HT and 2-methyl-5-HT, a selective 5-HT3 receptor agonist, induced dose-dependent depolarizations of rabbit nodose ganglion with ED50 values of 24.0 (19.9-29.1) and 40.1 (30.9-52.1) nmol, respectively (geometric mean, 95% CL). YM060, ondansetron, granisetron and the S-form dose-dependently inhibited 5-HT-induced depolarizations with IC50 values of 3.85 (2.47-5.98), 1.55 (1.26-1.91), 1.45 (1.18-1.79) and 13.5 (11.2-16.2) nM, respectively. Methysergide, a 5-HT1-like and 5-HT2 receptor antagonist, at a concentration of 10(-5) M had no effect on responses to 5-HT. YM060 up to 10(-5) M produced no significant depression of depolarizing responses to 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium iodide and gamma-aminobutyric acid. YM060, ondansetron, granisetron and the S-form displaced specific binding of [3H]GR65630 to N1E-115 neuroblastoma cell membranes with Ki values of 0.091 (0.086-0.097), 7.03 (5.96-8.01), 2.02 (1.74-2.30) and 10.3 (9.96-10.6) nM, respectively. These results show that YM060, compared with ondansetron and granisetron, has considerably higher affinity for 5-HT3 receptors in N1E-115 cells and slightly less potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonistic activity in rabbit nodose ganglion. Moreover, the isomeric activity ratio (R-form/S-form) was approximately 112 in N1E-115 cells and no greater than 4 in the ganglion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
