6-Hydroxybuspirone is a major active metabolite of buspirone: assessment of pharmacokinetics and 5-hydroxytryptamine1A receptor occupancy in rats.
The pharmacokinetics and in vivo potency of 6-hydroxybuspirone (6-OH-buspirone), a major metabolite of buspirone, were investigated. The plasma clearance (47.3 +/- 3.5 ml/min/kg), volume of distribution (2.6 +/- 0.3 l/kg), and half-life (1.2 +/- 0.2 h) of 6-OH-buspirone in rats were similar to those for buspirone. Bioavailability was higher for 6-OH-buspirone (19%) compared with that for buspir...
متن کاملBuspirone raises blood pressure through activation of sympathetic nervous system and by direct activation of alpha1-adrenergic receptors after severe hemorrhage.
5-Hydroxytryptamine 1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonists reverse the hypotensive and sympathoinhibitory responses to severe hemorrhage in rats. To determine whether 5-HT1A receptor-mediated pressor responses in hypovolemic animals are due to sympathoexcitation and/or direct vasoconstriction, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) responses to the partial 5-HT...
متن کاملSelective antiaggressive effects of alnespirone in resident-intruder test are mediated via 5-hydroxytryptamine1A receptors: A comparative pharmacological study with 8-hydroxy-2-dipropylaminotetralin, ipsapirone, buspirone, eltoprazine, and WAY-100635.
The present study characterized the effects of the novel, selective, and potent 5-hydroxytryptamine1A (serotonin) (5-HT1A) receptor agonist, alnespirone [S-20499, (S)-N-4-[5-methoxychroman-3-yl)propylamino)butyl- 8-azaspiro-(4,5)-diacetamide, hydrochloride] on offensive and defensive resident-intruder aggression in wild-type rats and compared its actions with those of the prototypical full 5-HT...
متن کاملBuspirone requires the intact nigrostriatal pathway to reduce the activity of the subthalamic nucleus via 5-HT1A receptors
The most effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), l-DOPA, induces dyskinesia after prolonged use. We have previously shown that in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned rats rendered dyskinetic by prolonged l-DOPA administration, lesion of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) reduces not only dyskinesias but also buspirone antidyskinetic effect. This study examined the effect of buspirone on ST...
متن کاملBuspirone improves 6-hydroxydopamine-induced catalepsy through stimulation of nigral 5-HT(1A) receptors in rats.
Receptors for 5-HT(1A) are widely distributed throughout the basal ganglia, and their activation results in an inhibition of dopamine (DA) release. This study aimed to investigate the effect of buspirone, as a partial agonist of 5-HT(1A) receptors, on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced catalepsy in male Wistar rats. Catalepsy was induced by unilateral infusion of 6-OH-DA (6 microg/2 microl/rat)...
