Abstract
The existence of multiple 5-HT autoreceptors in the central nervous system is now firmly established and they have been pharmacologically identified as belonging to the 5-HT(1A), 5-HT(1B), and 5-HT(1D) receptor subtypes. In addition, 5-HT(1F), 5-HT(5A), and 5-HT(7) receptors remain as potential candidates for additional autoreceptors. The emergence of selective ligands, such as SB-224289 (5-HT(1B) receptor antagonist), BRL 15572 (5-HT(1D) receptor antagonist), GR 127935 (a mixed 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor antagonist), LY 334370 (5-HT(1F) receptor agonist), and SB-269970 (5-HT(7) receptor antagonist), has aided the characterisation of 5-HT autoreceptors and has highlighted the complexity of mechanisms which modulate the release of 5-HT.Entities:
