A novel series of 5-(1,1-dioxo-1,2,5-thiadiazolidin-2-yl)tryptamines was designed, synthesized, and evaluated as 5-HT1D receptor agonists. Compounds such as 8d,f,k were identified which had comparable affinity, potency, and receptor selectivity to that of the antimigraine drug sumatriptan. Both 8d,k were found to be well absorbed in the rat with oral bioavailabilities of 66% and 62%, respectively. Additionally, 8d was found to be selective over other non-serotonergic receptors and exhibited relatively low central nervous system penetration.

Sex influence on serotonergic modulation of the vascular noradrenergic drive in rats.

Background And Purpose: In male rats, the serotonergic system modulates sympathetic outflow at vascular levels, causing sympatho-inhibition and sympatho-excitation, mainly via 5-HT and 5-HT receptors, respectively. However, sex influence on vascular serotonergic regulation has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to analyse the 5-HT sympatho-modulatory role in female rats, characterising the 5-HT receptors involved.

Background: Triptans are potent 5-HT receptor agonists used in migraine therapy, thought to act through peripheral mechanisms. It remains unclear whether triptans cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) sufficiently to stimulate central 5-HT receptors. This study investigates the disposition of eletriptan and sumatriptan in central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) regions and predicts regional 5-HT receptor occupancies at clinically relevant concentrations.

Schizophrenia is a devastating psychiatric disorder with complex symptoms and neurobiology. Serotonergic dysregulation is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia although dopaminergic and glutamatergic systems are thought to have central roles in neurobiology. No significant success can be achieved in the treatment of negative and cognitive symptoms while positive symptoms can be significantly reduced with current pharmacotherapy.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, which is involved in memory via its receptors. The 5-HT and 5-HT receptors mainly exist in the hippocampus, which plays an important role in memory processing. However, few studies have assessed the effect of these serotonin receptors on memory.

Renal vasculature, which is highly innervated by sympathetic fibers, contributes to cardiovascular homeostasis. This renal sympathetic outflow is inhibited by 5-HT in normoglycaemic rats. Considering that diabetes induces cardiovascular complications, we aimed to determine whether diabetic state modifies noradrenergic input at renal level and its serotonergic modulation in rats.
