5-HT1A Receptor
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
F13640 (befiradol) is a novel 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist with exceptional selectivity vs. other receptors and binding sites[1]. F13640 activates both 5-HT(1A) autoreceptors and postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptors in prefrontal cortex with a similar potency. Both activities are likely involved in the analgesic properties of the compound.

| ln Vivo |
Befiradol (F13640; NLX-112) raises the discharge rate of 80% of mPFC pyramidal neurons in the same dose range (ED50=0.62 μg/kg, iv) and decreases the activity of dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons at 0.2-18.2 μg/kg, iv (cumulative doses; ED50=0.69 μg/kg, iv). Subsequent injection of the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist (±)WAY100635 reverses both effects. Befiradol (F13640; NLX-112) (0.04 -0.63 mg/kg, ip) dose-dependently reduces extracellular 5-HT in the mPFC and hippocampal regions in microdialysis experiments. Similarly, Befiradol (F13640; NLX-112) (0.01-2.5 mg/kg, ip) raises extracellular DA in mPFC in a dose-dependent manner. a result reliant on the mPFC's postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors being activated. In a concentration-dependent manner, local perfusion of Befiradol in mPFC (1-1,000 μM) likewise raises extracellular DA. Befiradol's local and systemic effects can be avoided by administering (±)WAY100635 beforehand[1].

| Animal Protocol |
Rats were anaesthetized with chloral hydrate (400–500 mg kg−1, i.p.) or isoflurane. A guide cannula with a dummy probe was stereotaxically implanted into the mPFC, stereotaxic coordinates: AP +3.0 mm, L +0.8 mm, DV −1.7 mm, or the hippocampus: AP −4.8 mm, L +4.6 mm, DV −4.6 mm, from bregma and skull surface. Following surgery and recovery from anesthesia, animals were returned to their home cages. At the end of the day, each rat was placed in a microdialysis cage. On the following day, the dummy probe was replaced by a microdialysis probe (3 mm length, 0.5 mm diameter; CMA, Microdialysis AB). The probe was continuously perfused (1.1 μl min−1) with artificial CSF (aCSF) containing 1 μM citalopram for the measure of 5-HT. At least 2 h after probe insertion, samples were collected every 20 min with the first four samples used for baseline. For the experiment with systemic administration of the compounds, saline or (±)WAY100635 were injected s.c., followed, 40 min later, by i.p. administration of saline or F13640. For the experiments with local perfusion, saline was injected s.c. and 40 min later, F13640 was added to the perfusion medium for the concentration–response experiment. For the antagonism, (±)WAY100635 (or aCSF) was delivered through the dialysis probe and 40 min later, F13640 was added to the perfusion medium. Samples were collected for 140 min after administration or beginning of the perfusion of the agonist. At the end of the experiment, rats were killed by anesthetic overdose (pentobarbital 160 mg kg−1, i.p.) and the brain was removed, frozen and cut in a cryomicrotome (Jung Frigocut 2800) to verify the placement of the probe.[1]

| Additional Infomation |
Rationale: F13640 (befiradol) is a novel 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist with exceptional selectivity vs. other receptors and binding sites. It shows analgesic activity in animal models and is currently developed for human use.[1]
Objectives: Given the potential dual role of the serotonergic system in pain, through the modulation of ascending signals in spinal cord and their emotional processing by corticolimbic areas, we examined the in vivo activity of F13640 at somatodendritic autoreceptors and postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) heteroreceptors in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC).[1] Methods: In vivo single unit recordings and intracerebral microdialysis in the rat.[1] Results: F13640 reduced the activity of dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons at 0.2-18.2 μg kg(-1), i.v. (cumulative doses; ED(50) = 0.69 μg kg(-1), i.v.) and increased the discharge rate of 80% of mPFC pyramidal neurons in the same dose range (ED(50) = 0.62 μg kg(-1), i.v.). Both effects were reversed by the subsequent administration of the 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist (±)WAY100635. In microdialysis studies, F13640 (0.04-0.63 mg kg(-1), i.p.) dose-dependently decreased extracellular 5-HT in the hippocampus and mPFC. Likewise, F13640 (0.01-2.5 mg kg(-1), i.p.) dose-dependently increased extracellular DA in mPFC, an effect dependent on the activation of postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptors in mPFC. Local perfusion of F13640 in mPFC (1-1,000 μM) also increased extracellular DA in a concentration-dependent manner. Both the systemic and local effects of F13640 were prevented by prior (±)WAY100635 administration.[1] Conclusions: These results indicate that, upon systemic administration, F13640 activates both 5-HT(1A) autoreceptors and postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptors in prefrontal cortex with a similar potency. Both activities are likely involved in the analgesic properties of the compound. |
