title: Serotonin 5-HT1 receptors mediate inhibition of cyclic AMP production in neurons.
abstract: In purified striatal and cortical neurons in primary culture, serotonin (5-HT) stimulated basal cyclic AMP production (EC50, 0.5 microM) 2.5- and 1.5-fold, respectively. The 5-HT1 selective agonists, RU 24969 and 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (PAT), did not stimulate cyclic AMP production. However, 5-HT, RU 24969 and PAT inhibited VIP-stimulated cyclic AMP formation in a dose-dependent manner. The actions of selective agonists and antagonists at 5-HT receptors mediating attenuation of cyclic AMP production suggest that they may be of the 5-HT1 subtype.
