Interaction of orally administered 5-[3-[((2S)-1,4-benzodioxan-2-ylmethyl)amino]propoxy]-1,3-benzodioxole (MKC-242) with 5-HT1A receptors in rat brain.

Results suggest that orally administered MKC-242 at the low doses that do not show 5-HT1A-receptor-mediated in vivo responses such as the hypothermic effect, adrenocortical effect and the decrease in 5-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) binding passes the blood-brain barrier and subsequently binds to 5- HT1A receptors in rat brain.

Novel benzodioxan derivative, 5-(3-[((2S)-1,4-benzodioxan-2- ylmethyl)amino]propoxy)-1,3-benzodioxole HCl (MKC-242), with a highly potent and selective agonist activity at rat central serotonin1A receptors.

It is suggested that MKC-242 acts as a full and partial agonist at pre- and postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, respectively, in the central nervous system.

Postsynaptic 5‐hydroxytryptamine1A receptor activation increases in vivo dopamine release in rat prefrontal cortex

The present results indicate that activation of postsynaptic 5‐HT1A receptors increases dopamine release in a brain region‐specific manner.

Concepts for the design of 5‐HT1A serotonin agonists and antagonists

The accessibility and use of a standard 5‐HT1A agonist radioligand ([3H]8‐hydroxy‐2‐(dipropylaminotetralin) has resulted in the availability of a large amount of binding data on various serotonergic

Increase of noradrenaline release in the hypothalamus of freely moving rat by postsynaptic 5‐hydroxytryptamine1A receptor activation

The present results suggest that activation of postsynaptic 5‐HT1A receptors increases NA release in the hypothalamus.

Evidence is provided that LY 165163 is a centrally acting serotonin agonist and the increases in hormone concentrations in serum and of dopamine metabolite concentrations in brain were not antagonized by pretreatment with metergoline, a serotonin antagonist.

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.

Both buspirone and 1- PP increased hypothalamic concentrations of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG) sulfate, the norepinephrine metabolite, the effect being more pronounced with 1-PP but occurring after doses as low as 0.3 mg/kg s.c. with each compound.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine-1A receptors which inhibit cAMP production in hippocampal and cortical neurons in primary culture.

The results suggest that in mouse embryonic hippocampal neurons, the 5-HT1A receptors, which are negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase, are distinct from the receptor positively coupled to this enzyme, as well as the anxiolytic drugs, ipsapirone and buspirone, which were potent agonists in hippocampusal neurons and competitive antagonists in cortical neurons.
