Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this study was to determine if like buspirone, ipsapirone and 8-hydroxy-2(di-N-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), the alpha 1-adrenoceptors are involved in the responses elicited by indorenate in rabbit aorta. Exception made of ipsapirone, all the 5-HT1A agonists above mentioned contracted aortic rings. The contraction elicited by buspirone and 8-OH-DPAT was blocked with prazosin (alpha 1-adrenergic antagonist), whereas the effect of indorenate was unaffected with this blocker but it was inhibited with ritanserin (5-HT2 antagonist). On the other hand, buspirone, ipsapirone and 8-OH-DPAT but not indorenate relaxed arteries precontracted with methoxamine (alpha 1-adrenergic agonist) and none of the agonists relaxed preparations precontracted with acetylcholine or KCl. The results indicate that buspirone and 8-OH-DPAT are partial alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonists since they elicited contractions which are blocked with prazosin and relaxed only rings precontracted with methoxamine. Ipsapirone behaved as an alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist since it showed the relaxant but not the contractile effect. Finally, we found no evidence that indorenate has afinity for alpha 1-adrenoceptors. Contraction elicited by this agonist seems to be mediated by 5-HT2 receptors, inasmuch it was blocked with ritanserin.
