| Abstract | Sixteen known 5-HT$_{3}$ receptor blockers, including clozapine, fully or partially reverse the inhibitory effect of 1 μM GABA on [$^{35}$S]TBPS binding, indicating that they are also GABA$_{A}$ antagonists, some of them selective for subsets of GABA$_{A}$ receptors. The 5-HT$_{3}$ receptor blocker, ondansetron, has been reported to produce some antipsychotic and anxiolytic effects. However, no antipsychotic effects have been reported for a large number of highly potent 5-HT$_{3}$ receptor blockers. Like clozapine, ondansetron partially reverses the inhibitory effect of GABA on [$^{35}$S]TBPS binding. Additivity experiments suggest that ten 5-HT$_{3}$ receptor blockers tested at low concentrations preferentially block subtypes of GABA$_{A}$ receptors that are among those blocked by clozapine. Wiley and Porter (29) reported that MDL-72222, the most potent GABA$_{A}$ antagonist decribed here, partially generalizes (71%) with clozapine in rats trained to discriminate an interoceptive clozapine stimulus, but only at a dose that severly decreases responding. Tropisetron (ICS-205,930) exhibits both GABA-positive and GABA-negative effects. R-(+)-zacopride is 6-fold more potent than S-(−)-zacopride as a GABA$_{A}$ antagonist. We conclude that the observed antipsychotic and, possibly, anxiolytic effects of some 5-HT$_{3}$ receptor blockers are due to selective antagonism of certain GABA$_{A}$ receptors, and not to blockade of 5-HT$_{3}$ receptors. We speculate that the anxiolytic and sedative effects of clozapine and several other antipsychotic drugs may be due to selective blockade of α1β2γ2 GABA$_{A}$ receptors which are preferentially located on certain types of GABAergic interneurons (probably parvalbumin positive). Blockade of these receptors will increase the inhibitory output of these interneurons. So far, no highly potent GABA$_{A}$ antagonists with clozapine-like selectivity have been identified. Such compounds may exhibit improved clozapine-like antipsychotic activity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
