Resumen

High-throughput ligand displacement screens of a series of endogenous indoles revealed that tryptamine, serotonin and 5-methoxytryptamine readily displace [3H]spermidine and [3H]MK-801 from their respective binding sites in rat brain homogenate. These data, coupled with their potent inhibition of spermidine-potentiated [3H]MK-801 binding, suggest that certain endogenous indoles may act as ligands to one or more polyamine binding sites in the brain, including those on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex.
