The effect of two 5HT3 antagonists, ICS 205-930 and MDL 72222, on drug-induced place aversion was studied in a two-compartment apparatus with a procedure including a pre-test for spontaneous preference. Naloxone (0.8 mg/kg SC), phencyclidine (2.5 mg/kg SC) and picrotoxin (2.0 mg/kg IP) paired with the preferred compartment elicited a significant place aversion. ICS 205-930 and MDL 72222 failed to modify spontaneous place preference when paired with both compartments. ICS 205-930 (30 micrograms/kg SC) paired with the preferred and, in other experiments, with the non-preferred compartment, also failed to modify spontaneous preference. ICS 205-930 (7.5, 15 and 30 micrograms/kg SC), paired with both compartments, dose-dependently reduced the place aversion induced by naloxone (0.8 mg/kg SC), phencyclidine (2.5 mg/kg SC) and picrotoxin (2.0 mg/kg IP). MDL 72222 (30 micrograms/kg SC) paired with both compartments had a similar effect. The result indicate that 5HT, via 5HT3 receptors, plays a role in the aversive properties of drug stimuli.
