Bioactivity | 5-Carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) is a 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT5A, 5-HT7 receptor agonist[1][2][3][4]. 5-Carboxamidotryptamine has a Ki value of 4.6 nM for cloned human 5-HT5A receptor. 5-Carboxamidotryptamine causes a dose-dependent reduction in rectal temperature of mice[3][4]. |
In Vivo | 5-Carboxamidotryptamine (0.03-3 mg/kg i.p. and 0.125-5 µg i.c.v.) causes a dose-dependent reduction in rectal temperature of mice[3].5-Carboxamidotryptamine (0.1-1 mg/kg; i.p.) reduces rectal temperature in wild type mice but not 5-HT7 receptor knockout mice[3].5-Carboxamidotryptamine (0.0 1-1 μg/kg; i.v.) causes consistent, dose-related decreases in diastolic blood pressure and carotid arterial vascular resistance and increases in heart rate of cats. In contrast, 5-HT (1-100 μg/kg; i.v.) causes tachycardia but variable and complex effects on diastolic blood pressure and carotid arterial vascular resistance[5].5-Carboxamidotryptamine does not cause bronchoconstriction in cats. In contrast, 5-HT causes dose-related bronchoconstriction[5]. Animal Model: |
