Dipropyltryptamine (DPT) is a synthetic indolealkylamine first characterized in the 1960s. Largely forgotten since the discovery of multiple serotonin receptor subtypes, some of the properties of DPT at the cloned human 5-HT1a receptor are described here. When [3H]8-OH-DPAT is bound to the receptor, DPT inhibits the interaction with an IC50of 0.1 µmol/l. This interaction is shown to be competitive when double-reciprocal plots of the DPT/agonist interaction are analyzed. DPT’s effects in the signal transduction system are complex. While DPT alone (0.1–1,000 µmol/l) activates Giwhen both cAMP and γ-S-GTP incorporation are measured, in the presence of 5-HT (0.1–10 µmol/l), DPT blocks the agonist effect. In combination, the findings suggest that DPT is a moderate affinity partial agonist at the human 5-HT1a receptor. These results provide evidence that DPT has potential as a versatile experimental tool at 5-HT1a receptors.
