Abstract:
:The effects of a variety of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor agonists and antagonists on behaviour in 5- and 20-day old rat pups have been investigated. Increased locomotion and head-weaving responses were induced in both age groups by 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin; 5-HT1A agonist); 5-MeODMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine; 5-HT1) and RU 24969 (5-methoxy-3(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrindin-4-yl)-1H-indole; 5-HT1B/5-5HT1A). The putative 5-HT1A-agonist LY165163 (1-2-(4-aminophenyl)ethyl 4-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine) also produced hyperactivity in the developing pups. In contrast, locomotion was not affected by buspirone (5-HT1A); mCPP (1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine; 5-HT1B/5-HT1C) and DOI (1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane; 5-HT2) though buspirone produced a small increase in head-weaving at 5- and 20-days. The full 5-HT syndrome was induced in older animals (but not neonates) by both 8-OH-DPAT and 5-MeODMT. Large doses of buspirone, mCPP and DOI also produced signs of reciprocal forepaw treading and flattened body posture at 20-days. In addition, mCPP induced grooming and stereotyped mouthing, while DOI increased sniffing behaviour in the young rats. Catecholaminergic mechanisms were implicated in the head-weaving and locomotor responses to 8-OH-DPAT and RU 24969, following experiments with a number of monoamine receptor antagonists. Preliminary findings with (-)-pindolol, which was high affinity for 5-HT1-receptors, suggested that this subtype of receptor may play a role in hyperlocomotion induced by RU 24969.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
