• Description: 5-(Benzyloxy)tryptamine hydrochloride (5-BOC-TRP) is a serotonin agonist that is used to study the effects of serotonin on various tissues. 5-BOC-TRP has been shown to increase extracellular Ca2+ concentrations in receptor cells, and it has also been shown to act as an agonist at synaptic and submandibular gland levels. It binds to specific receptors in the parotid, submandibular, and other salivary glands, where it induces a release of saliva. These effects were observed when 5-BOC-TRP was administered intravenously or intraperitoneally. The distribution of this drug within the salivary glands was determined by immunoreaction with antibodies against serotonin. The localization of 5-BOC-TRP was also confirmed by whole cell patch clamp recordings obtained from rat parotid cells perfused with 5-BOC-TRP.
