Monoamine receptor interaction profiles of 4-thio-substituted phenethylamines (2C-T drugs) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
4-Thio-substituted phenethylamines (2C-T drugs) are potent psychedelics with poorly defined pharmacological properties. Because of their psychedelic effects, 2C-T drugs are sometimes sold as new psychoactive substances (NPSs).

Possible Involvement of Endogenous 5-HT in Aggravation of Cerulein-Induced Acute Pancreatitis in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the pathogenic role of endogenous 5-HT in pancreatitis. Injections of cerulein at hourly intervals caused edematous pancreatitis in mice characterized by hyperenzymemia and histological alterations. While the

Increased DOI-Induced Wet-Dog Shakes in Adrenocorticotropic Hormone–Treated Rats Are Not Affected by Chronic Imipramine Treatment: Possible Involvement of Enhanced 5-HT2A–Receptor Expression in the Frontal Cortex

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
We examined the influence of imipramine, a traditional tricyclic antidepressant, on the binding to serotonin (5-HT)2receptors and levels of 5-HT2A–receptor mRNA in the frontal cortex of rats treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

Functional anatomy of 5-HT2A receptors in the amygdala and hippocampal complex : relevance to memory functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The amygdaloid complex and hippocampal region contribute to emotional activities, learning, and memory. Mounting evidence suggests a primary role for serotonin (5-HT) in the physiological basis of memory and its pathogenesis by modulating directly the ...

5-HT2A Receptor Binding in the Frontal Cortex of Parkinson’s Disease Patients and Alpha-Synuclein Overexpressing Mice: A Postmortem Study

open access: yesParkinson's Disease, 2016
The 5-HT2A receptor is highly involved in aspects of cognition and executive function and seen to be affected in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and related to the disease pathology. Even though Parkinson’s disease (PD) is primarily a

Assessment of Binding Affinity to 5-Hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A) Receptor and Inverse Agonist Activity of Naftidrofuryl: Comparison With Those of Sarpogrelate

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009
.: Naftidrofuryl is a peripheral vasodilator that has been clinically used in the treatment of intermittent claudication and dementia. It has 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 (5-HT2) antiserotonergic activity and selectively binds with the 5-HT2 receptor.
