In guinea pigs, myoclonus can be induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) precursors and synthetic 5-HT receptor agonists, yet the receptor subtype specificity of this behavior is not fully delineated. Guinea pigs were pre-treated with carbidopa (50 mg) followed by one of eight 5-HT antagonists: (−)-N-tert-butyl-3-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl) piperazin-1-yl]-2-phenyl propionamide ((−)-WAY 100135) (5-HT1A), N-[2-[4-(2-methoxypheny)-1-piperazinyl]-ethyl]-N-(2-pyridyl)-cyclohexancarboxamide (WAY 100635) (5-HT1A), methiothepin mesylate (5-HT1/2), mesulergine hydrochloride (5-HT2A/2C), N[4-methoxy-3-(4-methyl-l-piperazinyl)phenyl]-2′-methyl-4′-(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadizol-3-yl) (GR 127935) (5-HT1D), trans-4-[(3Z)3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)oxyimino-3(2-fluorophenyl) propen-1-yl]phenol, hemifumarate (SR 46349) (5-HT2), ondansetron hydrochloride (5-HT3), and [1-[2-[methylsulphonyl)amino]ethyl]-4-piperidinyl]methyl-5-fluoro-2-methoxy-1H-indole-3-carboylate (GR 125487) (5-HT4). Thirty minutes later, they received 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) (75 mg/kg, sc) and myoclonic jumping rates were assessed every 10 min for 200 min by a blinded observer. Repeated measures analysis of variance of drug-induced antagonism of 5-HTP-induced myoclonus revealed a significant effect for the 5-HT receptor antagonists methiothepin mesylate, GR127935, and mesulergine hydrochloride compared to placebo, and each of these drugs inhibited 5-HTP-induced myoclonus in a dose-dependent fashion. Based on the receptor profiles of the three effective antagonists, 5-HTP-induced myoclonus is influenced by the 5-HT1/2receptor systems. The absence of a significant change with any other receptor subtype antagonist suggests that myoclonus is not related to diffuse activation of central serotonergic mechanisms.
