1. The effect of WAY100635 (N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl) cyclohexanecarboxamide trihydrochloride), a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, on cardiovascular function was studied. 2. The i.v. injection of WAY100635 dose-dependently decreased blood pressure in anaesthetized rats; while in pithed rats WAY100635 (1 mg kg(-1)) displaced the phenylephrine pressor effect. 3. WAY100635 antagonized phenylephrine-induced contraction in rabbit and rat aorta (pA2 of 6.88 and 7.93 and Schild slopes of -0.83 and -1.21, respectively); while in rat caudal artery pK(B) was 7.45 and the Schild slope of -0.56, suggesting a complex interaction in this vessel. 4. The results show that WAY100635 induced hypotension in the anaesthetized rat and suggest that this effect could be partially explained by antagonism of vascular alpha1-adrenoceptors.

Long-Term 5-HT Receptor Agonist NLX-112 Treatment Improves Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in functional deficits below the injured spinal level. The descending serotonergic system in the spinal cord is critically involved in the control of motor and autonomic functions. Specifically, SCI damages the projections of serotonergic fibers, which leads to reduced serotonin inputs and increased amounts of spinal serotonergic receptors.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a phytocannabinoid, has emerged as a promising candidate for addressing a wide array of symptoms. It has the ability to bind multiple proteins and receptors, including 5-HT1AR, transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), and cannabinoid receptors. However, CBD's pharmacodynamic interaction with 5-HT1AR and its medicinal outcomes are still debated.

Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated behaviors. A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.

Respiratory depression is a side effect of anesthetics. Treatment with specific antagonists or respiratory stimulants can reverse respiratory depression caused by anesthetics; however, they also interfere with the sedative effects of anesthetics. Previous studies have suggested that tandospirone may ameliorate respiratory depression without affecting the sedative effects of anesthetics.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychotropic compound derived from Cannabis sativa, is known for its potential therapeutic effects on central nervous system (CNS) disorders. This study investigates the effects of chronic CBD administration on depressive and cognitive alterations induced by social isolation in male C57BL/6 mice. The experimental design involved adult mice subjected to either group housing or 12 weeks of social isolation.
