5-HT Receptor

Research Areas:  

Neurological Disease

Xylamidine is a peripheral 5-HT receptor antagonist used to investigate possible peripheral appetite suppressant effects of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and fenfluramine. In a 1-hour food intake test, xylamidine attenuated the decrease in food intake induced by 5-HT and 5-HTP, but had no effect on fenfluramine, suggesting that the appetite suppressant effect of 5-HTP is mediated in part through peripheral 5-HT receptors. Microstructural analysis revealed that 5-HTP and fenfluramine induced a decrease in food intake rate and a reduction in feeding batch size. Xylamidine reversed the effects of 5-HTP on food intake rate and induced a slight increase in feeding batch size itself, thus, the peripheral effect of 5-HTP appears to be to slow food intake rate. No effect of xylamidine on fenfluramine-induced changes in feeding was observed. The results suggest that the appetite suppressant effects of 5-HTP and fenfluramine are differentiated based on the peripheral effects of 5-HTP. The peripheral effects of 5-HTP are distinct from the previously reported 5-HT-induced decreases in feeding batch size and duration. Possible mechanisms underlying the differences in peripheral effects of 5-HT and 5-HTP are discussed.

NF-κB PPAR

(3R,5R)-3,5-Dihydroxy-1,7-bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)heptane 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is a diarylheptanol glycoside compound isolated from Tacca plantaginea. (3R,5R)-3,5-Dihydroxy-1,7-bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)heptane 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside significantly inhibit TNF-α-induced NF-κB transcriptional activity (IC50 = 9.4 μM). (3R,5R)-3,5-Dihydroxy-1,7-bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)heptane 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside significantly activates PPAR transcriptional activity (EC50 = 9.9 μM) and has a specific activating effect on PPAR β(δ) (EC50 = 23.1 μM). (3R,5R)-3,5-Dihydroxy-1,7-bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)heptane 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is non-toxic to cells at the tested concentration. (3R,5R)-3,5-Dihydroxy-1,7-bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)heptane 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside can be used for research on inflammatory conditions .
