5-HT receptors

5-HT receptors

            The serotonin receptors, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors or 5-HT receptors, are a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. They mediate both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission. The serotonin receptors are activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin, which acts as their natural ligand. The 5-HT1B receptor as an example of a metabotropic serotonin receptor.
            The serotonin receptors modulate the release of many neurotransmitters, including glutamate, GABA, dopamine, epinephrine / norepinephrine, and acetylcholine, as well as many hormones, including oxytocin, prolactin, vasopressin, cortisol, corticotropin, and substance P, among others. The serotonin receptors influence various biological and neurological processes such as aggression, anxiety, appetite, cognition, learning, memory, mood, nausea, sleep, and thermoregulation. The serotonin receptors are the target of a variety of pharmaceutical drugs, including many antidepressants, antipsychotics, anorectics, antiemetics, gastroprokinetic agents, antimigraine agents, hallucinogens, and entactogens.
            Serotonin receptors are found in almost all animals and are even known to regulate longevity and behavioral aging in the primitive nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans.
Classification
            With the exception of the 5-HT3 receptor, a ligand-gated ion channel, all other serotonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that activate an intracellular second messenger cascade to produce an excitatory or inhibitory response. In 2014 a novel 5-HT receptor was described that was isolated from the small white butterfly, Pieris rapae, and named pr5-HT8. It shares relatively low similarity to the known 5-HT receptor classes and does not occur in mammals.

Note that there is no 5-HT1C receptor since, after the receptor was cloned and further characterized, it was found to have more in common with the 5-HT2 family of receptors and was redesignated as the 5-HT2C receptor.
Very nonselective agonists of 5-HT receptor subtypes include ergotamine (an antimigraine), which activates 5-HT1A, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1B, D2 and norepinephrine receptors. LSD (a psychedelic) is a 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT5A, 5-HT5, 5-HT6 agonist.
5-HT4 receptor
[5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 4, G protein-coupled]
            5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR4 gene.
            This gene is a member of the family of human serotonin receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors that stimulate cAMP production in response to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine). The gene product is a glycosylated transmembrane protein that functions in both the peripheral and central nervous system to modulate the release of various neurotransmitters. Multiple transcript variants encoding proteins with distinct C-terminal sequences have been described, but the full-length nature of some transcript variants has not been determined.
Location
            The receptor is located in the alimentary tract, urinary bladder, heart and adrenal gland as well as the central nervous system (CNS). In the CNS the receptor appears in the putamen, caudate nucleus, nucleus accumbens, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra, and to a lesser extent in the neocortex, raphe, pontine nuclei, and some areas of the thalamus. It has not been found in the cerebellum.
Isoforms
            Internalization is isoform-specific.
Ligands
            Several drugs that act as 5-HT4 selective agonists have recently been introduced into use in both scientific research and clinical medicine. Some drugs that act as 5-HT4 agonists are also active as 5-HT3 antagonists, such as mosapride, metoclopramide, renzapride, and zacopride, and so these compounds cannot be considered highly selective. Research in this area is ongoing.
            SB-207,145 radiolabeled with carbon-11 is used as a radioligand for 5-HT4 in positron emission tomography pig and human studies.

Pharmacokinetics - Drug absorption and Transport of drugs across biological membranes

Transport of drugs across biological membranes All pharmacokinetic processes involved transport of the drug across biological membranes. Biological Membrane Biological membranes may be viewed as mosaics of functional units composed of lipoprotein complex. Most membranes are composed of a fundamental structure called the unit membrane or plasma membrane. This boundary, which is 80 to 100 A° thick, surrounds single cell and nuclei. More complex barriers such as the intestinal epithelia and the skin are composed of multiples of this functional structure. The plasma membrane consists of a bilayer of amphipathic lipids with their hydrocarbon chains oriented inward to form a continuous hydrophobic phase and their hydrophilic heads oriented outward. Individual lipid molecules in the bilayer can move laterally, endowing the membrane with fluidity, flexibility, high electrical resistance and relative impermeability to highly polar molecules. The known fluidity of the phospholipids i

PHARMACOGNOSY - SOURCES AND COMPOSITION OF DRUGS

PHARMACOGNOSY - SOURCES AND COMPOSITION OF DRUGS             A large number of drugs are used in the clinics for the cure of various ailments. These drugs are diverse in chemical structure and are obtained from a wide variety of sources. In earlier days, simple chemical substances and different parts of plants were employed as medicinal agents, but most drugs currently used in therapeutics are synthetic in nature. However, natural sources are still used for obtaining some drugs mainly because their synthesis is difficult and uneconomical. Drugs are mainly obtained from following sources. I. NATURAL SOURCE A. Organic drugs . Organic drugs are mainly obtained from 1. Vegetable source 2. Animal source 3. Microorganisms. B. Inorganic drugs . These are mainly obtained from 1.   Metallic source 2.   Non-metallic source. II. SYNTHETIC SOURCE (I) NATURAL SOURCES OF DRUGS Active principles of drugs are mainly present in crude form in minute amounts. T
