({sup 3}H)5-HT binding sites were analyzed in membranes prepared from the rabbit caudate nucleus (CN). ({sup 3}H)5-HT labeled both 5-HT{sub 1A} and 5-HT{sub 1C} recognition sites, defined by nanomolar affinity for 8-OH-DPAT and mesulergine respectively; however, these represented only a fraction of total specific ({sup 3}H)5-HT binding. Saturation experiments of ({sup 3}H)5-HT binding in the presence of 100 nM 8-OH-DPAT and 100 nM mesulergine to block 5-HT{sub 1A} and 5-HT{sub 1C} sites revealed that non-5-HT{sub 1A}/non-5-HT{sub 1C} sites represented about 60% of the total 5-HT{sub 1} sites and that they exhibited saturable, high affinity, and homogeneous binding. The pharmacological profile of the non-5-HT{sub 1A}/non-5-HT{sub 1C} sites (designated 5-HT{sub 1R}) also differed from that of 5-HT{sub 1B} and 5-HT{sub 2} sites, but was similar to that of the 5-HT{sub 1D} site. However, significant differences existed between the 5-HT{sub 1D} and 5-HT{sub 1B} sites for their K{sub i} values for spiperone, spirilene, metergoline, and methiothepin. The study of modulatory agents also showed differences between the 5-HT{sub 1R} and 5-HT{sub 1D} sites. In addition, calcium enhanced the effects of GTP on the 5-HT{sub 1R} sites, whereas calcium inhibited the GTP effect on the 5-HT{sub 1D} sites.
