Recent clinical data suggest that coadministration of pindolol with an antidepressant, particularly the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine, can shorten the time to onset of clinical activity and increase the proportion of responders. We have examined the interaction of antidepressants with 5-HT1A receptors using the forced swim test in rats using both (+/-)-pindolol and the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100,635 (N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(pyridinyl) cyclohexanecarboxamide trihydrochloride) in combination with either fluoxetine or the selective monoamine oxidase-A inhibitor befloxatone. 8-Hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin (8-OH-DPAT; 0.125-1 mg/kg s.c.), used as a reference for 5-HT1A agonist activity, reduced immobility in the forced swim test and this effect was significantly antagonised by WAY 100,635. WAY 100,635 alone (0.01-0.1 mg/kg s.c.) was without effect, although a higher dose, 0.3 mg/kg s.c., had a nonsignificant tendency to increase immobility. In contrast, (+/-)-pindolol (1-16 mg/kg s.c.) significantly reduced immobility, but to a lesser extent than 8-OH-DPAT. As expected, the antidepressants fluoxetine (10-80 mg/kg p.o.) and befloxatone (0.03-1 mg/kg p.o.) dose-dependently reduced immobility time. When the antidepressants were combined with WAY 100,635 (0.1 mg/kg), WAY 100,635 either had no effect or, at relatively high doses, significantly reduced their activity in this test. Combination of the antidepressants with (+/-)-pindolol (2 or 4 mg/kg s.c.) failed to reveal a significant interaction. These results demonstrate that the anti-immobility effects of fluoxetine and befloxatone are neither facilitated nor antagonised by doses of WAY 100,635 that completely reverse the effects of 8-OH-DPAT. Furthermore, there was no evidence that coadministration of the antidepressants with (+/-)-pindolol was able to facilitate their antidepressant-like effects. Thus, whereas direct agonist activity at 5-HT1A receptors can modulate immobility in the forced swim test, this receptor subtype does not appear to play a major role in the antidepressant-like effects of fluoxetine or befloxatone under the conditions used in this study.
