title: The 5-HT1D receptor antagonist GR 127,935 is an agonist at cloned human 5-HT1D alpha receptor sites.
abstract: The cAMP response of the 5-HT1D receptor antagonist GR 127,935 was compared with 5-CT and ketanserin at cloned human 5-HT1D alpha receptor sites in transfected C6-glial cells. GR 127,935 showed marked agonist activity (EC50-value: 141 nM), its maximal effect being comparable to that of the agonist 5-CT (EC50-value: 0.91 nM), unlike the apparently silent antagonist ketanserin (KB-value: 34 nM).
