title: [5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-methoxytryptamine increase tolerance to global cerebral ischemia].
abstract: In the global cerebral ischemia, 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin, 5-HT) and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT) produce a significant neuroprotector effect closely correlated with their hypothermic action. This expands the spectrum of cerebral functions controlled by 5-HT. At the same time, melatonin and 2-iodmelatonin, which are chemically (but not pharmacologically) close to 5-HT and 5-MT, do not exhibit such protective effects. Probably, an important role in the interaction with 5-HT receptors belongs to the NH2 group of the indole ring.
