[3H]Zacopride exhibits high affinity (Kd less than or equal to 1 nM) for 5-HT3 binding sites (inhibited by ICS 205-930) in rabbit intestinal muscularis and vagus nerve, human jejunum, rat intestinal muscularis and rat brain cortex. Its binding was inhibited by several 5-HT3 antagonists that displayed similar rank orders of potency in the tissues examined. Zacopride's (S) enantiomer was significantly more potent than its (R) enantiomer (21- to 42-fold in rabbit and human; 8- to 12-fold in rat) as an inhibitor of [3H]zacopride binding. These studies indicate that the utility of [3H]zacopride as a high affinity 5-HT3 ligand resides with the (S) enantiomer.

Chronic amitriptyline exposure reduces 5-HT3 receptor-mediated cyclic GMP formation in NG 108-15 cells.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of chronic in vitro administration of amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, on cyclic GMP formation stimulated by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell line, NG 108-15, 5-HT (0.01-100 microM)-stimulated cyclic GMP formation was concentration-dependent and was sensitive to ICS 205-930, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Exposure of NG 108-15 cells to 5 microM amitriptyline for 3 days significantly reduced 5-HT-stimulated cyclic GMP formation.

In the presence of substance P (SP; 10 microM), serotonin (5-HT; 1 microM) triggered a cation permeability in cells of the hybridoma (mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma) clone NG 108-15 that could be assessed by measuring the cell capacity to accumulate [14C]guanidinium for 10-15 min at 37 degrees C. In addition to 5-HT (EC50 0.33 microM), the potent 5-HT3 receptor agonists 2-methyl-serotonin, phenylbiguanide, and m-chlorophenylbiguanide, and quipazine, markedly increased [14C]guanidinium uptake in NG 108-15 cells exposed to 10 microM SP.

Substitution of the chlorine atom by a radio-iodine in position 5 in the zacopride molecule yielded [125I]iodo-zacopride that bound with high affinity (Kd = 4.3 nM) to 5-HT3 receptors in the rat central nervous system. Assays with membranes from the posterior (mainly entorhinal) cortex confirmed that the pharmacological properties and regional distribution of [125I]iodo-zacopride-specific binding sites were identical with those of 5-HT3 sites labelled by the reference radioligand [3H]zacopride.

The effects of two antidepressant drugs, amoxapine and amitriptyline, that belong to distinct chemical classes, have been examined on various biochemical parameters related to serotoninergic and opioidergic neurotransmission in the rat brain and spinal cord. In vitro binding studies showed that both amoxapine and amitriptyline interact in the nanomolar range with 5-HT2 receptors labelled by [3H]ketanserin in cortical membranes. By contrast, neither amoxapine nor amitriptyline can be considered as possible ligands of 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors because their affinities for these sites are in the micromolar range (or even worse).
