1. In order to explore whether 5-HT4 receptor subtypes exist, we have characterized further the 5-HT4 receptor that mediates tachycardia in the piglet isolated right atrium. All experiments were carried out in the presence of propranolol (400 nM) and cocaine (6 microM). We used tryptamine derivatives, substituted benzamides and benzimidazolone derivatives as pharmacological tools. 2. Tachycardia responses to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were mimicked by other tryptamine derivatives with the following order of potency: 5-HT > 5-methoxytryptamine alpha-methyl-5-HT = bufotenine bufotenine > 5-carboxamidotryptamine = tryptamine (after treatment with pargyline) > 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine > 2-methyl-5-HT. 3. The substituted benzamides were all partial agonists relative to 5-HT except (-)-zacopride which was a full agonist. The stimulant potency order was renzapride > cisapride = (-)-zacopride > metoclopramide > (+)-zacopride. 4. The benzimidazolone derivatives had contrasting effects. BIMU 8 (endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-(1-methyl(eth yl- 2-oxo-1H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamide hydrochloride) was a full agonist relative to 5-HT whilst BIMU 1 (endo-N-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-3-ethyl-2-oxo - 1H-benzimidazole-1-carboxamide hydrochloride) was a partial agonist with low intrinsic activity compared to 5-HT but had similar potency. We estimated a pKB of 7.9 for BIMU 1 antagonism of 5-HT-induced tachycardia. DAU 6215 (N-endo-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]-oct-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-lH-benzimidazole-l-carboxamide, hydrochloride) had no chronotropic activity and was found to be a simple competitive antagonist with a pKB of 7.15.SB 203186 (1-piperidinyl)ethyl lH-indole 3-carboxylate) was a potent antagonist with a pKB of 8.3.The affinity of SB 203186 was approximately 20 times higher than that of tropisetron (ICS 205-930;pKB= 6.9) and DAU 6215 (pKB= 7.0). GR1 13808 (([1-[2-[methylsulphonyl amino]ethyl]-4-piperidinyl]methyl 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate) and SDZ 205-557 ((2-diethylaminoethyl)2-methoxy-4-amino-5-chloro-benzoate) also antagonized 5-HT-induced tachycardia but not by simple competitive blockade.6. The sinoatrial 5-HT4 receptor in the piglet has a pharmacological profile that correlates well with 5-HT4 receptors characterized in rat oesophagus, guinea-pig ileum and colon, mouse embryonic colliculi neurones and human atrium.
