Modulatory effects of the new antimigraine drug naratriptan, a 5-HT1-recptor-agonist, on neurons of the nucleus raphe magnus were examined in rat by extracellular recordings. In the nucleus raphe magnus neuronal activity decreased in on-cells and increased in off-cells after intravenous administration of naratriptan. The modulatory effects of naratriptan were similar to the well-known effects of morphine on neurons in the nucleus raphe magnus. The results of this study suggest central actions of naratriptan and may point to an involvement of the endogenous pain control system in the antinociceptive ve effects of the 5-HT1-receptor-agonist.
