Article Abstract
5-HT-Moduline (Leu-Ser-Ala-Leu) is a new endogenous peptide purified from rat brain which interacts specifically with 5-HT1B/1D receptors. The binding interaction of 5-HT-Moduline with 5-HT1B/1D receptors appeared to be a non-competitive process, since the Bmax value of [125I] cyanopindolol binding on rat brain cortical membranes was decreased without modification of the Kd. This interaction was conserved on NIH 3T3 cells expressing the 5-HT1B receptor (IC50 = 10(-11)M) suggesting that the binding site for 5-HT-Moduline is localized on the 5-HT1B receptor protein. The observed interaction may lead to functional alterations of 5-HT1B/1D receptors known to play an important role in regulating the release of 5-HT from serotonergic nerve terminals (autoreceptors) as well as the release of other neurotransmitters (heteroreceptors).

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.

Symptomatic treatment of migraine includes patient education, mainly to avoid medication overuse and known trigger factors, as well as pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical interventions. Disease-specific and mechanism-based agents include ergotamine and dihydroergotamine targeting the adrenergic, dopaminergic, and serotoninergic systems followed by triptans, specific agonists for 5-HT1B/1D/1F receptors, the latest being more favorable in terms of safety and documentation of efficacy. Recently, antagonists of calcitonin gene-related peptide (gepants) and selective agonists of the 5-HT1F receptor (ditans) have been added, with promising efficacy and safety.

The given investigation examined the neuroprotection role of 5-HT1b/1d agonist in reserpine induced Parkinson's disease (PD) in male Wistar rats. PD was induced in rats by reserpine at 5 mg/kg ip for 3 days and thereafter the rats were provided with the following treatments for 4 days, zolmitriptan (ZLM) group (30 mg/kg ip); STD group (levodopa + carbidopa, 200 + 5 mg/kg ip); ZLM + GA group (zolmitriptan, 30 mg/kg ip and glutamic acid, 1.5 mg/kg); ZLM + DX group (zolmitriptan, 30 mg/kg ip and dextromethorphan, 20 mg/kg ip).

Mucosal inflammation in colitis is associated with changes in the intestinal serotonin (5-HT) level. Sumatriptan, a 5-HT receptor agonist, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory characteristics. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of sumatriptan in a rat model of acute experimental colitis and to elucidate the probable participation of presynaptic 5-HT receptors.
