| Abstract | 1. A number of compounds, including the selective 5-HT7 receptor antagonist SB-258719, were investigated for their effect on [3H]-5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) radioligand binding and 5-CT-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity in guinea-pig hippocampal membranes, in order to confirm the presence of functionally coupled 5-HT7 receptors in this tissue. 2. The [3H]-5-CT radioligand binding profile was consistent with binding predominantly to 5-HT7 receptors. The affinity of SB-258719 (pKi 7.2+/-0.1) was similar to its reported human 5-HT7 receptor affinity. 3. In the adenylyl cyclase functional assay, 5-CT was a potent and full agonist compared to 5-HT, whereas 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT) was a partial agonist (intrinsic activity 0.4+/-0.1). The rank order of potency for agonists (5-CT>5-HT approximately 8-OH-DPAT) was consistent with activation of 5-HT7 receptors. SB-258719 (5 microM) and methiothepin (1 microM) surmountably antagonized the response to 5-CT, consistent with competitive antagonism. The pKB for SB-258719 (7.2+/-0.1) was in good agreement with its reported antagonist potency at the human cloned 5-HT7 receptor. 4. In the functional assay, WAY-100635 (100 nM) and cyanopindolol (1 microM) induced a biphasic 5-CT response curve, consistent with selective antagonism of a component of the response to 5-CT. The estimated pKB values for WAY-100635 and cyanopindolol (9.6 and 8.4 respectively) were in good agreement with their reported 5-HT1A receptor affinities. 5. The data are consistent with the presence of 5-HT7 receptors in guinea-pig hippocampus which are positively coupled to adenylyl cyclase. In addition, 5-HT7 receptor-mediated stimulation of adenylyl cyclase activity in this tissue appears to be augmented by a mechanism involving 5-HT1A receptor activation. |

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.
