Biochem/physiol Actions

BIMU8 hydrate is a potent 5-HT4 serotonin receptor agonist. Serotonin (5-HT) is a major neurotransmitter that acts through a family of GPCRs and one ion channel. 5-HT4 receptor is GPCR expressed in many tissues, including brain, and modulates dopamine secretion, learning, and memory. BIMU8 is a full agonist at 5-HT4, but it binds differently than the endogenous ligand, 5-HT, shown through site-directed mutagenesis studies. It depolarizes neurons and was used to localize 5-HT4 to somatic but not dendritic regions of CA1 pyramidal neurons.

Recently, a 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor has been described, whose pharmacology was distinct from that of the already known serotonergic receptors, so that it has been called 5-HT4. Because the lack of a high affinity radioligand, the identification of this receptor

Intracellular electrophysiological methods were used to examine the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT), 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(4-[1-azabicyclo[3,3,1]nonyl]) benzamide hydrochloride (renzapride), cis-4-amino-5-chloro-N[1-[3- (4-fluorophenoxy)propyl]-3-methoxy-4-piperidinyl[-2-methoxybenzamide monohydrate (cisapride) and endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-3- (1-methyl)ethyl-2-oxo-1 H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamidehydrochloride (BIMU 8) on noncholineric slow excitatory postsynaptic potentials (slow EPSPs) in myenteric

1. Experiments were designed to characterize pharmacologically the contractile responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the guinea-pig isolated distal colon longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparation (LMMP). 2. In the presence of methiothepin (100 nM) and granisetron (1 microM), 5-HT (10 pM-10 nM)

The influence of three azabicycloalkyl benzimidazolone derivatives, DAU 6236, BIMU 1 and BIMU 8, which act as agonists at central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)4 receptors, has been investigated on cholinergic neuromuscular transmission and peristalsis in the guinea pig small intestine. In the

The effect of the serotonergic 5-HT4 receptor agonists BIMU 1 and BIMU 8 on in vivo acetylcholine (ACh) release in brain hemispheric regions of freely moving rats was investigated using the microdialysis technique. Both agonists, applied intracerebroventricularly, facilitated the release
