title: The novel 5-HT4 receptor antagonist DAU 6285 antagonizes 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced tachycardia in pigs.
abstract: The 5-HT4 receptor antagonist action of DAU 6285 was investigated in vivo in anesthetized pigs. DAU 6285 (0.3-3 mg/kg i.v.) dose dependently antagonized 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced tachycardiac responses. In contrast, the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ondansetron (0.3-3 mg/kg i.v.) did not influence the tachycardia induced by 5-HT. These results indicate that DAU 6285 is a potent antagonist of 5-HT4 receptor-mediated responses in vivo.
