Serotonin receptor (5-HT3) antagonists provide effective antiemetic therapy in cancer patients receiving emetogenic chemotherapy, such as cisplatin. Animal studies have shown that 5-HT3 receptor antagonists also have antiemetic activity in ipecac-induced emesis. The authors investigated the

Ipecac syrup, prepared from a galentical ipecac, contains the nauseant alkaloids cephaeline and emetine. The involvement of receptors and serotonin- and dopamine-metabolizing enzymes in the emesis induced by ipecac syrup and these components was investigated. 1) In ferrets, the selective

Vomiting may be induced by a variety of agents such as drugs, oncolytics, and provocative motion, as well as being conditioned to occur to environmental stimuli. Such emesis has recently been shown to be blocked by agonists at the 5-HT1A subtype of serotonin receptor. The antiemetic effects of
