Description: Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) is an abundant neurotransmitter synthesized from the essential amino acid L-tryptophan and plays a significant role in appetite, platelet aggregation, pain perception, sleep, hormone secretion, sexual behavior, and thermoregulation. Serotonin mediates much of its actions by binding to and activating G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) on the surface of neurons and other cells. One of these GPCRs, the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR), is a 7-transmembrane spanning GPCR in the frontal cortex which impacts on development, anxiety, depression, perception, and cognitive function [1, 2]. In neurons, the 5-HT2AR is a constitutively internalizing receptor and this trafficking is dependent upon interactions with the regulatory protein, B-arrestin2 [3]. Studies in cell-based assays reveal that serotonin requires B-arrestin2 to internalize the receptors while other agonists, such as DOI, 5-MeO-DMT, and quipazine, internalize the receptor in the absence of B-arrestins [3, 4]. All 5-HT2AR agonists seem to recruit B-arrestin2 to 5-HT2AR in cultured cells. However, while serotonin requires B-arrestins to traffic receptors, other agonists such as DOI, 5-MeO-DMT, and quipazine can internalize the receptor in the absence of B-arrestins [3, 4]. It remains to be determined if the specific 5-HT2AR-B-arrestin interactions and trafficking events have physiological significance. It is conceivable that the regulation of 5-HT2AR in vivo may impact neurological sensitivity to serotonin and the responsiveness to pharmacological agents and drugs of abuse. We predict that drugs that disrupt the serotonin 2A receptor-B-arrestin interaction might provide a means to alter the sensitivity of the receptor to the levels of serotonin present in the brain[4]. These findings may inspire the development of drugs that could be clinically useful for treating depression, schizophrenia, and drug addiction [5-7]. Summary of Probe Development Effort: This probe development effort is focused on the identification of agonists of the mouse 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 2A (HTR2A).
