摘要:
To assess the pharmacodynamic profile of ALEPH-2, a phenylisopropylamine derivative with alleged anxiolytic and hallucinogenic properties,Xenopus laevis oocytes were microinjected with either of the rat cRNA for the 5-HT2A or the 5-HT2C receptor. Concentration-response curves were obtained following the exposure of the oocytes to varying concentrations of either ALEPH-2 or 5-hydroxy-tryptamine (5-HT) for 10 s. ALEPH-2 is a partial agonist on the 5-HT,,receptor with a similar potency to 5-HT. In contrast, ALEPH-2 is a full 5-HT2C receptor agonist and is about 15-fold less potent than 5-HT. Pre-application of 1 muM ritanserin antagonized the responses induced by 5-HT and ALEPH-2 to the same extent; however, the 5-HT2A receptor is more sensitive to ritanserin blockade than the 5-HT2C receptor.
