title: BRL 24924: a potent agonist at a non-classical 5-HT receptor positively coupled with adenylate cyclase in colliculi neurons.
abstract: A non-classical 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor that we have previously proposed to call 5-HT4 and which mediates stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity in mouse embryo colliculi neurons in primary culture was also stimulated by substituted benzamide derivatives such as metoclopramide and BRL 24924 ([ (+/-)-(endo)]-4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(1-azabicyclo-[3.3.1]-non- 4-yl)-benzamide hydrochloride). The non-additivity of the effects of 5-HT and BRL 24924 on cAMP formation and the inhibition by ICS 205 930, a potent 5-HT3 antagonist, suggest that 5-HT and BRL 24924 act on the same receptor. In light of these results, we think that a similarity may exist between the non-classical 5-HT receptor, coupled with an adenylate cyclase in colliculi neurons, and the non-classical 5-HT receptor, involved in gastric and ileum motility which is specifically stimulated by substituted benzamide derivatives in the same order of potency (metoclopramide, BRL 24924).
