Abstract

Sumatriptan (GR43175) contracts rings of dog isolated saphenous vein by an action at 5-HT1-like receptors. We have now examined the effects of sumatriptan on prostaglandin E2(PGE2)-stimulated adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) accumulation in this tissue. Sumatriptan and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of PGE2-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation (EC50 values of 250 nM and 80 nM respectively), responses that were mimicked by 5-carboxamidotryptamine but not by U-46619 or methoxamine. The response to sumatriptan (1 microM) was antagonised by methiothepin (1 microM), but not by metergoline (0.1 microM), spiperone (1 microM) or ondansetron (GR38032, 1 microM). These results suggest that 5-HT1-like receptors which mediate contraction of the dog isolated saphenous vein are negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase in this preparation.
