摘要：

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists have antidepressant-like effects in rodents and reduce symptoms of depression in humans. The study determined whether the antidepressant-like effect of the nAChR beta 2* partial agonist sazetidine-A (sazetidine) in the forced swim test was due to activation or desensitization of beta 2* nAChRs. The study also determined if sazetidine's behavioral responses in the forced swim test corresponded to beta 2* nAChRs receptor occupancy and drug bioavailability. Acute antidepressant-like effects in the forced swim test were seen with sazetidine and the full beta 2* agonist 5-I-A8350 (BALB/cJ mice) and the less selective beta 2* partial agonist varenicline in C57BL/6J but not BALB/cJ mice. The role of beta 2* nAChRs was confirmed by results showing: (1) reversal of sazetidine's antidepressant-like effects in the forced swim test by nAChR antagonists mecamylamine and dihydro-beta-erythroidine; (2) absence of sazetidine's effect in mice lacking the beta 2 subunit of the nAChR; and (3) a high correspondence between behaviorally active doses of sazetidine and beta 2* receptor occupancy. beta 2* receptor occupancy following acute sazetidine, varenicline, and 5-I-A8350 lasted beyond the duration of action in the forced swim test. Sazetidine's long lasting receptor occupancy did not diminish behavioral efficacy in the forced swim test following repeated dosing. Results demonstrate that activation of a small population of beta 2* nAChRs (10-40%) is sufficient to elicit sazetidine's antidepressant-like actions without producing tolerance and suggest that ligands that activate beta 2* nAChRs would be promising targets for the development of a new class of antidepressant.
