Biological Activity
| Targets | 5-HT2 receptor (ED50 = 17.5 nM) |
| ln Vivo | This study was carried out aiming to reach behavioral and neuropharmacological evidence of the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to serotonin systemically administered in quails. Serotonin injected by a parenteral route (250-1000 microg x kg(-1), sc) elicited a sequence of behavioral events concerned with a sleeping-like state. Sleeping-like behaviors began with feather bristling, rapid oral movements, blinking and finally crouching and closure of the eyes. Previous administration of 5-HT2C antagonist, LY53857 (3 mg x kg(-1), sc) reduced the episodes of feather bristling and rapid oral movements significantly but without altering the frequency of blinking and closure of the eyes. Treatment with the 5-HT2A/2C antagonist, ketanserin (3 mg x kg(-1), sc) did not affect any of the responses evoked by the serotonin. Quipazine (5 mg x kg(-1), sc) a 5-HT2A/2C/3 agonist induced intense hypomotility, long periods of yawning-like and sleeping-like states. Previous ketanserin suppressed gaping responses and reduced hypomotility, rapid oral movements and bristling but was ineffective for remaining responses induced by quipazine. Results showed that unlike mammals, serotonin permeates the BBB and activates hypnogenic mechanisms in quails. Studies using serotoninergic agonist and antagonists have disclosed that among the actions of the serotonin, feather bristling, rapid oral movements and yawning-like state originated from activation of 5-HT2 receptors while blinking and closure of the eyes possibly require other subtypes of receptors [1]. |

| Additional Infomation | The highly effective anorexigen (+)-fenfluramine was widely used to control body weight until the association with primary pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart disease. (+)-Norfenfluramine is the major hepatic metabolite of (+)-fenfluramine and is primarily responsible for the anorexic effect as well as side effects. We reported that (+)-norfenfluramine causes vasoconstriction and a blood pressure increase in rats with normal blood pressure via the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2A receptor. With the knowledge that (+)-norfenfluramine also has affinity for 5-HT2B receptors and that arterial 5-HT2B receptor expression is up-regulated in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension, we tested the hypothesis that (+)-norfenfluramine-induced vasoconstriction and pressor effects are potentiated in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats in a 5-HT2 receptor-dependent manner. Contractions of arteries were measured using an isolated tissue bath system or myograph. Mean arterial blood pressure was measured in chronically instrumented conscious rats. Effects of (+)-norfenfluramine in stimulating arterial contraction (leftward shift versus SHAM, aorta, 5.13-fold; renal artery, 1.95-fold; mesenteric resistance artery, 1.77-fold) and raising blood pressure were significantly enhanced in hypertension. In arteries from both normotensive and hypertensive rats, (+)-norfenfluramine-induced contraction in aorta was inhibited by 5-HT2A receptor antagonists, ketanserin and LY53857 (4-isopropyl-7-methyl-9-(2-hydroxy-1-meth ylpropoxycarbonyl)4,6,6a,7,8,9,10,10a-octahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinoline), but not by the 5-HT2B receptor antagonist, LY272015 [6-chloro-5-methyl-N-(5-quinolinyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-1-carboxamide]. Ketanserin (3 mg/kg) reduced (+)-norfenfluramine-induced pressor response in both SHAM and DOCA rats. Our results demonstrate that (+)-norfenfluramine-induced arterial contraction and blood pressure increases are potentiated in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. However, it is the 5-HT2A receptor and not the 5-HT2B receptor that participates in these effects. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17289838/ |
