Pj. Pauwels et Fc. Colpaert, THE 5-HT1D RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST GR-127,935 IS AN AGONIST AT CLONED HUMAN 5-HT1D-ALPHA RECEPTOR-SITES, Neuropharmacology, 34(2), 1995, pp. 235-237
The cAMP response of the 5-HT1D receptor antagonist GR 127,935 was com
pared with 5-CT and ketanserin at cloned human 5-HT1D alpha receptor s
ites in transfected C6-glial cells. GR 127,935 showed marked agonist a
ctivity (EC(50)-value: 141 nM), its maximal effect being comparable to
that of the agonist 5-CT (EC(50)-value: 0.91 nM), unlike the apparent
ly silent antagonist ketanserin (K-B-value: 34 nM).
