Abstract
The effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine and renzapride was studied on the peristaltic reflex elicited in vitro in the guinea-pig ileum. Both agents evoked the reflex at subthreshold intraluminal pressures (50% of threshold) and were blocked by ICS 205-930 (3 microM), but not ondansetron (5 microM). This novel finding suggests strongly that the prokinetic action of renzapride and gut motility stimulating action of 5-hydroxytryptamine are mediated via agonism at the putative 5-HT4 receptor.Entities:
