The Effects of Nootropic Drugs on Striatal 5-HT2A-Receptors in Outbred Mice with Different Efficacy of Exploratory Behavior
Abstract
Resume. The effect of subchronic administration of nootropic drugs of different structures (piracetam 200 mg/kg/day, pantocalcin 200 mg/kg/day, semax 0.6 mg/ kg/day, nooglutil 50 mg/kg/day) to mice of the outbred line 1CR on spontaneous research activity in a closed cross-maze and on the binding characteristics of 5-HT2A-receptors in striatal membranes. In experiments using [3H] (+)Ketanserin, it has been established that the mice brains exhibiting a low efficacy of exploratory behavior (LEEB) in the closed cross-maze test has a lower density of 5-HT2A receptors (Bmax = 519 ± 13 fmol/ mg , p = 0.02) in comparison with the subpopulation with high efficacy of exploratory behavior (HEEB) (639 ± 48 fmol / mg). After 5-fold administration of nootropics, only in groups with LEEB there was a significant increase in the Bmax value under the action of all investigated nootropics: piracetam (643 ± 42 fmol/mg); pantocalcine (662 ± 29 fmol/mg); semax (742 ± 29 fmol/mg) and nooglutil (1145 fmol/mg) at p = 0.01. By the Kd value, the subpopulations did not initially differ and did not undergo significant changes under the action of the drugs. The presence of serotonin-positive effects of all drugs studied in animals with initially reduced receptor density is consistent with the hypothesis of the selective, modulating nature of the nootropics action.
