Abstract:Administered intrathecally (IT) to mice, the putative substance P antagonist D-Pro2,D-Trp7,9-substance P (DPDT) blocked substance P- and serotonin-induced reciprocal hindlimb scratching with ID50 values of 4.6 (2.9-6.9) and 3.0 (1.9-4.8) micrograms, respectively. The duration of this antagonistic effect was 90-120 min. In contrast, DPDT did not block bombesin-, somatostatin-, glycine- or glutamate-induced scratching. These data indicate that DPDT is an effective antagonist of serotonin-induced behaviors in the mouse spinal cord. Phenoxybenzamine (IT) also blocked substance P- and serotonin-induced scratching. Its onset of action was more rapid for serotonin than for DPDT implying differences in agonist-induced receptor activation. Methysergide (IT) blocked serotonin-induced scratching ID50 = 0.7 (0.3-1.5) micrograms], but not substance P-induced scratching. Similar to DPDT, D-Arg1,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]-substance P, des-Arg1,D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9]-substance P(2-11) and D-Pro4,D-Trp7,9]-substance P(4-11) blocked substance P and serotonin-induced scratching. In contrast, D-Pro2,D-Phe7,D-Trp9]-substance P and D-Pro4,D-Trp7,9,10]-substance P(4-11) blocked only substance P-induced scratching. Thus, some, but not all putative substance P antagonists may also be behavioral antagonists of serotonin in the mouse spinal cord.
