Abstract
1. In pithed rats, 5-HT mediates tachycardia both directly (by 5-HT(2) receptors) and indirectly (by a tyramine-like effect). The receptor mediating tachycardia directly has been classified as an 'atypical' 5-HT(2) receptor since it was 'weakly' blocked by ketanserin. Moreover, 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI), a 5-HT(2) agonist, failed to mimic 5-HT-induced tachycardia. Since 5-HT(2) receptors consist of 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2B) and 5-HT(2C) subtypes, this study investigated if these subtypes mediate the above response. 2. In pithed rats, intraperitoneally (i.p.) pre-treated with reserpine (5 mg kg(-1)), intravenous (i.v.) administration of 5-HT, 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeO-T), 1-(3-chlorophenyl) piperazine (mCPP) and 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) (10, 30, 100 and 300 microg kg(-1) each), produced dose-dependent tachycardic responses. Interestingly, DOI (10 - 1000 microg kg(-1), i.v.) induced only slight, dose-unrelated, tachycardic responses, whilst the 5-HT(2C) agonist, Ro 60-0175 (10 - 1000 microg kg(-1), i.v.), produced a slight tachycardia only at 300 and 1000 microg kg(-1). In contrast, sumatriptan and 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)- piperazine (TFMPP) were inactive. The rank order of potency was: 5-HT > or =5-...Continue Reading
