Effects of trazodone on neurotransmitter release from rat mossy fibre cerebellar synaptosomes.
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY(2000)
摘要
The effects of trazodone and putative sigma (sigma) receptor ligands were investigated on KCl-stimulated release of glutamate (Glu) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from cerebellar mossy fibre synaptosomes. Both trazodone and serotonin (5-HT) inhibited the increase of Glu and GABA release evoked by 15 mM KCl. Trazodone increased the inhibition of Gin release caused by 0.01 mu M 5-HT, while it antagonized the inhibition induced by higher 5-HT concentrations. Despite the low affinity of trazodone for both sigma(1) and sigma(2) binding sites, with a pK(i) of 5.9 and 6.0 respectively, two sigma receptor ligands, (+)-3-[3-hydroxypheny]-N-(1-propyl)piperidine ((+)-3-PPP) and N-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-N-methyl-2-(dimethylamino)ethylamine (BD 1047) antagonized the effects of trazodone. The putative sigma receptor ligand N-allylnormetazocine ((+)-SKF 10,047) mimicked the inhibitory effect of trazodone. As with trazedone, (+)-3-PPP and ED 1047 antagonized the activity of(S)-SKF 10,047 but not that of 5-HT. On the whole, these results suggest that trazodone shares a common molecular target with sigma compounds distinct from that of 5-HT and is involved in K+-stimulated Glu and GABA release from mossy fibre cerebellar synaptosomes.
