Pharmacological Blockage of Serotonin Biosynthesis and Circadian Changes in Oxaliplatin Toxicity in Rats

Abstract: This study investigates if the serotoninergic system plays a role in chronotoxic effects of the anticancer agent oxaliplatin (l-OHP). Four groups of female rats (120 in total) synchronized with light-dark (12 h:12 h) were treated with: (i) saline, (ii) para-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA, an inhibitor of serotonin biosynthesis: 300 mg/kg/d, i.p. for two consecutive days), (iii) l-OHP (23 mg/kg, i.v.) at three different dosing times, or (iv) both pCPA and l-OHP. The results show pCPA (ii) obliterates the circadian r… Show more

“…In rodents and other mammals, most circadian rhythms are controlled and=or regulated by the SCN, which depends in part on the serotoninergic system (Rietveld, 1992). Boughattas et al (2002). Best drug tolerance occurred when the drug was injected in the light phase (during the animals' rest span).…”

“…The effects of the neurotoxic agent pCPA, which inhibits serotonin biosynthesis, are dosing-time dependent as shown by Ixart et al (1985) and (1,7,13,and 19 HALO) in 100 Swiss albino male mice. The agent pCPA obliterates the circadian rhythm in plasma ACTH in a dosing-time dependent manner, but not that in corticosterone or leucocytes (Boughattas et al, 2002;Ixart et al, 1985). Boughattas et al (2002).…”

“…Treatment of BMCs by L-OHP together with ceefourin resulted in a 5-times increase in Pt accumulation. Ceefourin was originally reported as a human MRP4 inhibitor 29 , but it also induced significant Pt accumulation in mouse MRP4-expressing cells after L-OHP treatment. Ceefourin may exert its inhibitory action on both human and mouse MRP4.…”
