The Novel Melatonin Agonist Agomelatine (S20098) Is an Antagonist at 5-Hydroxytryptamine2C Receptors, Blockade of Which Enhances the Activity of Frontocortical Dopaminergic and Adrenergic Pathways

TL;DR: In contrast to melatonin, agomelatine behaves as an antagonist at 5- HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors: blockade of the latter reinforces frontocortical adrenergic and dopaminergic transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonin (5-HT)2C receptors tonically inhibit dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA), but not 5-HT, release in the frontal cortex in vivo

TL;DR: The data suggest that 5-HT2C receptors exert a tonic, inhibitory influence upon frontocortical dopaminergic and adrenergic, but not serotonergic, transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anxiolytic properties of agomelatine, an antidepressant with melatoninergic and serotonergic properties: role of 5-HT2C receptor blockade

TL;DR: In contrast to melatonin, and reflecting blockade of 5-HT2C receptors, agomelatine is active in several models of anxiolytic properties in rodents and differs from that of benzodiazepines from which it may also be distinguished by its contrasting influence on corticolimbic monoaminergic pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agonist and antagonist actions of yohimbine as compared to fluparoxan at alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors (AR)s, serotonin (5-HT)(1A), 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(1D) and dopamine D(2) and D(3) receptors. Significance for the modulation of frontocortical monoaminergic transmission and depressive states.

TL;DR: The α2‐AR antagonist properties of yohimbine increase DA and NAD levels both alone and in association with fluoxetine, whereas fluparoxan selectively enhances hippocampal noradrenaline (NAD) turnover and enhances striatal dopamine turnover and suppresses striatal turnover of 5‐HT.
