Concentration-response curves to 5-HT2C agonists were fit well by a three-state model of receptor activation, suggesting that two active receptor states may be sufficient to explain pathway-dependent agonist efficacy.

The results indicate that a charge-strengthened hydrogen bond donor is required at this locus for high affinity agonist binding but not forHigh affinity antagonist binding.

Interestingly, 24-h exposure to inverse agonists acting at 5-HT2C receptors also selectively enhanced IP accumulation, but not AA release, elicited by activation of endogenous purinergic receptors, suggesting that actions of inverse agonist may be mediated through effects on receptor systems that are not direct targets for these drugs.
Signal transduction differences between 5-hydroxytryptamine type 2A and type 2C receptor systems.

Data provide the first evidence for fundamental differences in the signal transduction systems of these 5-HT2 receptor subtypes.

It is demonstrated that spontaneous contractions in HET are likely to be mediated by the generation and release of a stable cyclo‐oxygenase product, and both agonist and antagonist studies are consistent with the presence of a homogeneous α1‐adrenoceptor population.

The concentration-response data show that the inhibition of forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in guinea pig and rat hippocampal membranes is mediated by a receptor with the characteristics of the 5-HT1A binding site, and it is proposed that this response is suitable for measuring activities and affinities of drugs acting at 5- HT1A receptors.

These data strongly support the agonist‐directed trafficking hypothesis and suggest that agonists may be able to selectively activate a subset of multiple signaling pathways coupled to a single receptor subtype.
