Abstract
The interactions of cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, mitomycin, carmustine (BCNU), cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and thio-TEPA were assessed at three neurotransmitter receptor binding sites. Each drug was inactive at concentrations as high as 10(-4) M in displacing the specific binding of 3H-spiperone to dopamine D2, 3H-pyrilamine to histamine H1, and 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate to muscarinic cholinergic receptors. These data suggest that chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting are not due to interactions with neurotransmitter receptors.Entities:
