چکیده

A de-acetylase (aryl acylamidase, E.C.3.5.1.13) has been isolated and partially characterized from rat brain. Previous studies have shown that this enzymatic activity is inhibited by low concentrations of serotonin. This report examines the effects of closely related tryptamine derivatives and demonstrates that enzymatic activity is stereospecifically inhibited by LSD. Similar enzymatic activity from liver was found to be insensitive to any of the compounds tested. The significance of these findings with regard to well known serotonin-LSD interactions is discussed.

Stereospecific binding of D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to brain membranes: relationship to serotonin receptors.

D-[3H]LSD binds saturably, reversibly, and with a high affinity (KD = 10 nM) to rat brain membranes. The association and dissociation rates of binding are temperature dependent and fastest at 37 degrees C. Binding is enriched in crude microsomal (P3) membranes. D-[3H]LSD binding is stereospecific as L-LSD, the psychotropically inactive enatiomer, is 1000 times weaker than D-LSD as a displacing ...

EFFECTS OF CATECHOLAMINES ON DOPAMINE AND SEROTONIN SYNTHESIS IN RAT BRAIN STRIATAL SYNAPTOSOMES: THE ROLE OF PRESYNAPTIC RECEPTORS AND THE SYNAPTOSOMAL REUPTAKE MECHANISM.

The regulation of dopamine and serotonin synthesis in rat brain striatal synaptosomes has been studied using HPLC methods. Noradrenaline was shown to markedly inhibit both the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin. The response of the synaptosomes to the concentrations of noradrenaline appeared to be biphasic, a very effective inhibition occurring at low concentrations (1-5 µm) and a relativ...

Inhibition of 5-ht Uptake by Some Constituents of Hypericum Annulatum in Rat Brain in Vitro

Hyperatomarin, annulatophenone and gentisein are constituents of Hypericum annulatum Moris – a perennial herb, indigenous to the Balkan Peninsula and Sardinia. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of these compounds at serotonin binding and uptake in rat brain sinaptosomes. Radioligand techniques with [H]-5HT were used in order to determine a profile of pharmacological activity i...

[3H]WB4101 labels the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor subtype in rat brain. Guanine nucleotide and divalent cation sensitivity.

In the presence of a 30 nM prazosin mask, [3H]-2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyethyl) aminomethyl-1,4-benzodioxane ([3H]WB4101) can selectively label 5-HT1 serotonin receptors. Serotonin exhibits high affinity (Ki = 2.5 nM) and monophasic competition for [3H] WB4101 binding in cerebral cortex. Furthermore, we have found a significant correlation (r = 0.96) between the affinities of a number of serotoner...

Enhancing action of LSD on neuronal responsiveness to serotonin in a brain structure involved in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Potent serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors are the only drugs that consistently exert a therapeutic action in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Given that some hallucinogens were reported to exert an anti-OCD effect outlasting their psychotomimetic action, possible modifications of neuronal responsiveness to 5-HT by LSD were examined in two rat brain structures: one associated with OCD, the...
