Abstract

Quinine, Chloroquine and mefloquine are commonly used to treat malaria; however with associated gastrointestinal (GI) side-effects. These drugs act as antagonists at recombinant 5-HT3 receptors and modulate gut peristalsis. These gastrointestinal side effects may be the result of antagonism at intestinal 5-HT3 receptors. Ileum from male C57BL/6 mice and guinea pigs was mounted longitudinally in organ baths. Concentration-response curves for 5-HT and the selective 5-HT3 agonist 2-Me-5-HT were obtained with 5-HT (pEC50=7.57±0.33, 12) more potent (P=0.004) than 2-Me-5-HT (pEC50=5.45±0.58, n=5) in mouse ileum. There was no difference in potency of 5-HT (pEC50=5.42±0.15, n=8) and 2-Me-5-HT (pIC50=5.01±0.55, n=11) in guinea pig ileum (P>0.05). Quinine, Chloroquine or mefloquine was applied for 10 min and inhibitions prior to submaximal agonist application. In mouse ileum, quinine, chloroquine and mefloquine antagonised 5-HT-induced contractions (pIC50=4.9±0.17, n=7; 4.76±0.14,n=5; 6.21±0.2, n=4, respectively) with mefloquine most potent (P<0.05). Quinine, chloroquine and mefloquine antagonised 2-me-5-HT-induced contractions (pIC50=6.35±0.11,n=8; 4.64±0.2, n=7; 5.11± 0.22, n=6, respectively) with quinine most potent (P<0.05). In guinea-pig ileum, quinine, chloroquine and mefloquine antagonised 5-HT-induced contractions (pIC50=5.02±0.15, n=6; 4.54±0.1, n=7; 5.32±0.13, n=5, respectively) and 2-me-5-HT-induced contractions (pIC50=4.62±0.25, n=5; 4.56±0.14, n=6; 5.67±0.12, n=4, respectively) with chloroquine least potent against 5-HT and mefloquine most potent against 2-me-5-HT (P<0.05). These results support previous studies identifying anti-malarial drugs as antagonists at recombinant 5-HT3 receptors and may also demonstrate the ability of these drugs to influence native 5-HT3 receptor-evoked contractile responses which may account for their associated GI side-effects.
