The 2-aminotetralin derivatives cis-(+)-(1S,2R)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(n-propylamino)tetralin, (+)-AJ 76, and cis-(+)-(1S,2R)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, (+)-UH 232, are novel centrally acting stimulants with a putative action as selective dopamine (DA) autoreceptor antagonists. In the present study these compounds were evaluated with respect to their effects on prolactin release in male rats. Both (+)enantiomers caused a pronounced increase in plasma prolactin levels in previously untreated animals. The effects of (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 were virtually similar, except for a higher initial increase after the latter compound. In agreement with earlier reports, the reserpine-induced elevation of plasma levels of prolactin was strongly suppressed by the DA autoreceptor agonist B-HT 920. This effect of B-HT 920 was completely blocked by (+)-AJ 76 and by (+)-UH 232, indicating that both (+)enantiomers antagonize lactotroph DA receptors. The present findings support the notion that lactotroph DA receptors resemble DA autoreceptors rather than postsynaptic DA receptors. A possible difference between the auto-/lactotroph vs. postsynaptic DA receptors with respect to both the responsiveness to agonists and to the affinity of pure antagonists is discussed. 相似文献

Summary The biochemical and behavioral effects of the putative dopamine autoreceptor antagonists cis-(+)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(n-propylamino)tetralin, (+)-AJ 76 and cis-(+)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, (+)-UH 232, were evaluated in various in vivo models in rats. Both compounds produced a marked elevation in brain dopamine synthesis and turnover with only slight effects on the synthesis and turnover of serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline being noted. (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 also failed to antagonize the decrease in cortical noradrenaline synthesis rate caused by the alpha2 agonist clonidine. The apomorphine-induced decrease in dopamine synthesis rate in gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) treated animals was completely blocked by (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 but not by d-amphetamine or methylphenidate. In activity experiments using habituated animals, (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 produced locomotor stimulation and weak stereotypies and antagonized the sedative effects of low doses of apomorphine. Locomotor hyperactivity induced by apomorphine or the dopamine agonist DiPr-5,6-ADTN was antagonized by (+)-UH 232 and to a lesser degree by (+)-AJ 76. The locomotor hyperactivity produced by (+)-AJ 76, (+)-UH 232 and methylphenidate was completely prevented by reserpine pretreatment and partially blocked by the tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine (alpha-MT), whereas d-amphetamine-induced hyperactivity was only antagonized by alpha-MT pretreatment. It is concluded that (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 produce behavioral stimulation via a preferential antagonism on central dopamine autoreceptors, an action different from that of all known stimulants including apomorphine, d-amphetamine and methylphenidate. (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 possess but weak antagonistic effects on postsynaptic dopamine receptors and only the latter compound is able to induce sedation in rats. 相似文献

The weak aminotetralin stimulants, (+)-AJ 76, cis-(+)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(n-propylamino)tetralin and (+)-UH 232, cis-(+)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin, were tested for their effects on firing rates of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPC). (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 antagonized the depression of DA neuron firing rates following autoreceptor stimulation by apomorphine. Thus, just as they antagonize DA autoreceptors on presynaptic terminals, these aminotetralins also antagonize the somatodendritic DA autoreceptor. However, in contrast to terminal autoreceptors where (+)-AJ 76 is the most potent antagonist, (+)-UH 232 is the most potent on cell body autoreceptors. (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 also reversed the depression of DA neurons arising from activation of negative feedback pathways by amphetamine-induced DA release in postynaptic areas. Based on potencies to reverse amphetamine and apomorphine, respectively, the postsynaptic/presynaptic potency ratios for (+)-AJ 76, (+)-UH 232, and haloperidol were all near unity. It is concluded that (+)-AJ 76 and (+)-UH 232 antagonize both postsynaptic and somatodendritic sites with equal potencies, and that their weak stimulant properties may be due to a preferential antagonism of nerve terminal autoreceptors. 相似文献

The novel dopamine autoreceptor antagonists (–)-DS 121 and (+)-UH 232 were tested for their ability to alter cocaine self-administration behavior in rats reinforced on a progressive ratio (PR) schedule. (–)-DS 121 (15 mg/kg) and (+)-UH 232 (30 mg/kg) produced significant decreases in breaking point. (–)-DS 121 produced variable results on rate of cocaine intake on an FR1 schedule, indicating that rate may on occasion be insensitive to changes in cocaine reinforcement. In animals previously trained to self-administer cocaine, (–)-DS 121 failed to maintain responding when substituted for cocaine. This profile suggests that (–)-DS 121 is a promising new candidate for the treatment of cocaine abuse. 相似文献

The involvement of dopamine (DA) receptor subtypes in the behavioral effects of CNS stimulants was studied in rats trained to discriminate occaine from saline. In substitution tests, the stimulus effects of 10mg/kg of this substance generalized tod-amphetamine (0.25–1.0 mg/kg) and the selective D2 against LY-171555 (0.05–0.25 mg/kg); but not to the D1 agonist SKF-38393 (5.0–15.0 mg/kg); in combination tests, the D1 antagonist Sch-23390 (0.0625–0.5 mg/kg) significantly blocked, and the D2 antagonist spiperone (0.25–0.5 mg/kg) partially blocked the cocaine cue. These data suggest that the involvement of DA systems in the behavioral effects of cocaine is more complex than either D1
or D2 receptor activation; for example, the stimulus properties of this substance might involve both D1
and D2 receptor activation.Some of these results were presented at the meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, Toronto, 1988 相似文献

Cocaine-like discriminative stimulus effects of novel cocaine and 3-phenyltropane analogs in the rat
RATIONALE: Cocaine dependence is a major health concern and there are no effective pharmacotherapies currently available. Although cocaine is an indirect DA agonist that binds to all three monoamine transporters, there is much evidence implicating a greater role for the dopamine (DAT) than norepinephrine (NET) and serotonin (SERT) transporters in the behavioral effects of cocaine. As such, several groups have developed compounds that exhibit high affinity and selectivity for the DAT. OBJECTIVE: The present investigation examined the cocaine-like discriminative stimulus effects in rats of novel cocaine analogs (RTI 12, 13, 15) and 3-phenyltropane analogs (RTI 111, 112, 113, 114, 117 120, 121, 123, 134 and 152) of which several exhibit high affinity (e.g., <7 nM) and selectivity for the DAT. RESULTS: During dose-effect testing all drugs produced 75-100% cocaine-lever responding. Analyses indicated that the potency of the compounds to produce cocaine-like discriminative stimulus effects was correlated with their affinity for the DAT and the NET but not SERT. Due to the extremely large concentrations (e.g., 10,000-31,024 nM) needed to occupy the NET in vitro, it is doubtful if the doses administered had meaningful NET activity. The selectivity at the DAT, relative to the other transporters, was not indicative of the potency with which these drugs substituted for cocaine. CONCLUSIONS: The cocaine-like discriminative stimulus of the RTI compounds tested appear to be mediated by the DAT, however the extent to which the NET is involved remains unclear. Additionally, several of the RTI compounds had properties consistent with those thought desirable in a pharmacotherapeutic for cocaine dependence. 相似文献

Dopaminergic and cholinergic involvement in the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine and cocaine in rats 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Rationale. Previous work has demonstrated asymmetrical cross-generalization between the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine
and cocaine: nicotine fully substitutes for cocaine, whereas cocaine only partially substitutes for nicotine. The factors
responsible for the similarities and differences between the two drugs remain unclear.
Objective. The study tested the involvement of dopaminergic and/or cholinergic mechanisms in the discriminative stimulus effects of
nicotine and cocaine.
Methods. One set of rats was trained to discriminate cocaine (8.9 mg/kg) from saline, and two other sets of rats were trained to discriminate
nicotine (0.1 mg/kg) from saline.
Results. In cocaine-trained rats, among the cholinergic agonists studied only nicotine (0.01–0.56 mg/kg) produced full, dose-related
substitution; nornicotine (1–5.6 mg/kg) substituted only partially, and lobeline (2.71–15.34 mg/kg) and pilocarpine (0.26–2.55 mg/kg)
failed to engender any cocaine-appropriate responding. The nicotinic antagonist mecamylamine (1–5.6 mg/kg) failed to block
cocaine's discriminative stimulus effects. The dopamine antagonist cis-flupentixol (0.48 mg/kg) blocked the substitution of nicotine for cocaine. In nicotine-trained rats, the dopamine uptake
blockers cocaine, bupropion and nomifensine (0.2–26.1 mg/kg) each substituted only partially for nicotine, and cis-flupentixol (0.48–0.86 mg/kg) antagonized the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine.
Conclusions. Nicotine fully substitutes for cocaine because of its effects on dopamine transmission, and not because the discriminative
stimulus effects of cocaine incorporate a cholinergic component. Substitution of nicotine for cocaine may depend more on nicotine-induced
dopamine release than does the nicotine-trained discriminative stimulus; there may be differential dopaminergic involvement
after acute and repeated treatment with nicotine or cocaine.

It was recently documented that the relatively selective dopamine D3 receptor antagonist, PNU-99194A, is capable of establishing discriminative stimulus control in rats and that the discriminative
cue associated with this compound is not similar to that produced by psychostimulants. The present experiment further characterized
the discriminative stimulus properties of PNU-99194A by examining several other dopaminergic agents for stimulus generalization
in 23 male Sprague-Dawley rats trained to discriminate 10 mg/kg PNU-99194A (SC, 15 min) from vehicle in a two-choice discrimination
procedure under an FR10 schedule of food reinforcement. Rats achieved a criterion of ten consecutive sessions with correct
lever choice after a median of 35.5 sessions (range 23–78). In substitution tests, the non-selective D2 receptor antagonist, halo- peridol (0.01– 0.1 mg/kg), and the mixed D2/D3 antagonists, amisulpiride (3.2–32 mg/kg) and sulpiride (32–200 mg/kg), failed to produce stimulus generalization, while the
D3-preferring antagonists, (–)-DS121 (1–10 mg/kg) and (+)-AJ76 (3.2–32 mg/kg), produced complete stimulus generalization. Direct
and indirect DA agonists, including apomorphine (0.01–0.32 mg/kg) and d-amphetamine (0.1–1 mg/kg), the D1 agonist SKF-38393 (10–100 mg/kg), the D2 selective agonist PNU-95666E (0.32–3.2 mg/kg) and the D3-preferring agonist pramipexole (0.032–1 mg/kg), all produced non-significant amounts of drug-appropriate responding and significantly
reduced response rate. It is concluded that PNU-99194A produces a distinctive subjective cue which is probably based on D3 receptor antagonism.

RATIONALE: Developmental lead exposure may alter responsiveness to cocaine well into adulthood, and ultimately influence drug-use patterns. OBJECTIVES: The present study examined the effect of perinatal lead exposure on the discriminative stimulus properties of cocaine. METHODS: Female rats were treated with 0, 8, or 16 mg lead daily for 30 days before breeding with untreated males. This exposure regimen continued through gestation and until postnatal day (PND) 21, i.e., weaning. At PND 60 male pups were trained to discriminate between saline and cocaine (5 mg/kg) injections. After acquisition, a series of generalization/substitution tests were performed using a cumulative dosing procedure. RESULTS: Developmental lead exposure produced subsensitivity to SKF-82958 (D1-like dopamine receptor agonist), quinpirole (D2-like dopamine receptor agonist), and apomorphine (mixed D1-like/D2-like dopamine receptor agonist); but no differences were evident among lead-treatment groups on generalization/substitution tests with cocaine, d-amphetamine, or GBR-12909. Furthermore, when the kappa-opioid receptor agonist U69,593 was administered prior to cocaine (5 mg/kg), generalization to the cocaine stimulus decreased in control rats, but generalization in lead-exposed rats was not altered. Group differences were not evident in tolerance or recovery of tolerance to cocaine following repeated cocaine administration (60 mg/kg per day for 14 days). Furthermore, no differences were found across groups in concentrations of lead in brain, although pups exposed to 16 mg lead had slightly elevated blood lead concentrations (<7 microg/dl). CONCLUSIONS: These results further a growing research literature that suggests developmental lead exposure can produce long-lasting changes in drug responsiveness, even after exposure to the toxicant has been discontinued. 相似文献

Effects of dopamine D1- or D2-like receptor antagonists on the hypermotive and discriminative stimulus effects of (+)-MDMA 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Rationale Both dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) release are evoked by (+)-MDMA; however, little is known of the contribution of DA D1- and D2-like receptors (D1R and D2R, respectively) in the behavioral effects of (+)-MDMA.Objectives To test the hypothesis that a D1R or D2R antagonist would attenuate the hypermotive or discriminative stimulus effects of (+)-MDMA.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=164) were pretreated with the D1R antagonist SCH 23390 (3.125–50 g/kg, SC) or the D2R antagonist eticlopride (12.5–50 g/kg, SC) prior to treatment with (+)-MDMA (3 mg/kg, SC) and locomotor activity was recorded using photobeam monitors. Twelve additional rats trained to discriminate (+)-MDMA (1 mg/kg, IP) from saline in a two-lever water-reinforced FR20 task were administered SCH 23390 (6.25 g/kg, IP) or eticlopride (12.5 g/kg, IP) prior to (+)-MDMA (0.375–1.0 mg/kg, IP). Rats were then placed in the drug discrimination chambers and the percent (+)-MDMA appropriate responding and response rate were measured.Results Both SCH 23390 and eticlopride blocked (+)-MDMA-evoked hyperactivity in a dose-related manner; the highest doses of the antagonists also effectively suppressed basal locomotor activity. In rats trained to discriminate (+)-MDMA from saline, SCH 23390 (6.25 g/kg), but not eticlopride (12.5 g/kg), blocked the stimulus effects of (+)-MDMA without altering response rate.Conclusion These data indicate that DA released indirectly by (+)-MDMA administration results in stimulation of D1R and D2R to enhance locomotor activity. Furthermore, the D1R appears to play a more prominent role than the D2R in the discriminative stimulus properties of (+)-MDMA. 相似文献

RATIONALE: The relative contributions of different dopamine receptor subtypes to the discriminative stimulus effects of cocaine may be influenced by the training dose of cocaine. Substitution tests with dopamine receptor agonists have suggested that the role of dopamine D2-like receptors is diminished relative to that of D1-like receptors at a training dose of 3 mg/kg cocaine compared with a training dose of 10 mg/kg. OBJECTIVES: To test whether dopamine D2-like receptor antagonists were differentially effective at attenuating cocaine's discriminative stimulus effects at different training doses, and to test for the first time an antagonist that is selective for the dopamine D2 receptor within the D2-like receptor subfamily. METHODS: Rats were trained to press one lever after receiving cocaine and another after receiving saline (maintaining >95% drug-appropriate responding). Three dopamine D2-like receptor antagonists (haloperidol, raclopride and L-741,626) were tested in rats trained at 3 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg cocaine. At the lower training dose, the D1-like receptor antagonist SCH 39166 was also tested. RESULTS: The antagonists were not differentially effective between training groups: they all produced parallel, rightward shifts in cocaine's dose-effect function, indicating surmountable antagonism. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that D2-like receptor antagonists with different affinities for the various D2-like receptors can antagonise the discriminative stimulus effects of cocaine at two training doses. Importantly, antagonism by L-741,626 implies that stimulation of D2 receptors alone (not D3 or D4 receptors) is sufficient to mediate cocaine's discriminative stimulus effects. Finally, the claim that D1-like receptors are preferentially involved at low training doses of cocaine is only consistent with the current findings if indirect stimulation of D2 receptors by low doses of cocaine remains necessary for the expression of the D1-like receptor-mediated effect. 相似文献

RATIONALE: Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors may modulate the discriminative stimulus effects of cocaine because they alter dopamine (DA) release. OBJECTIVES: The effects of the NOS inhibitors NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and 7-nitro-indazole (7-NI) were examined in experiments designed to better understand the mechanisms that may underlie the interactions between NOS inhibitors and cocaine. METHODS: Rats were trained to discriminate 10 mg/kg cocaine from saline, and then substitution and pretreatment tests with L-NAME and 7-NI were conducted. To determine if the combined effects of NOS inhibitors and cocaine might be related to DA mechanisms and/or to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor mechanisms, substitution tests with other indirect DA agonists and NMDA antagonists were carried out in the presence and absence of L-NAME. In addition, the roles of the D1 and D2 families of DA receptors in mediating the cocaine-altering effects of L-NAME and 7-NI were examined in antagonism tests using SCH 23390 and haloperidol, respectively. RESULTS: The results demonstrated that neither NOS inhibitor alone substituted for the 10 mg/kg cocaine training dose, but when given as a pretreatment, 100 mg/kg L-NAME as well as 10 mg/kg 7-NI enhanced the discriminative stimulus and rate-decreasing effects of cocaine. L-NAME pretreatment also enhanced the potency of (+)-amphetamine and GBR 12909, but not MK-801, phencyclidine, or NPC 17742, for producing discriminative stimulus and rate-decreasing effects in substitution tests. Further testing showed that the cocaine-enhancing effects of L-NAME and 7-NI were attenuated by doses of haloperidol and SCH 23390 that minimally altered the effects of cocaine alone. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that L-NAME and 7-NI may increase the potency of cocaine and other indirect DA agonists through a central mechanism whereby DA neurotransmission is directly enhanced by NOS inhibition. 相似文献

RATIONALE: Inhibitors of neuronal dopamine uptake, such as GBR 12909, decrease IV cocaine self-administration by laboratory animals and have been proposed as potential therapeutic agents for abuse of psychomotor stimulant drugs. OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to determine how GBR 12909 alters the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine and cocaine. METHODS: Rats were trained to discriminate between IP injections of 10 mg/kg cocaine and saline and were tested for stimulus generalization to cocaine, GBR 12909, and methamphetamine. Based upon the ED50 of the individual drugs, combinations of GBR 12909 and either cocaine or methamphetamine were tested that comprised a) 1 part GBR 12909 and 2 parts cocaine or methamphetamine, or b) 2 parts GBR 12909 and 1 part cocaine or methamphetamine. RESULTS: GBR 12909 and cocaine were equipotent and 30-fold less potent than methamphetamine in producing cocaine-like discriminative effects. GBR 12909 and cocaine produced cocaine-like discriminative effects synergistically in the ratio of 1 part GBR 12909:2 parts cocaine (0.16+0.32 to 1.92+ 3.87 mg/kg) and nearly synergistically in the ratio of 2 parts GBR 12909:1 part cocaine (0.32+0.16 to 3.92+ 1.91 mg/kg). GBR 12909 and methamphetamine (0.32+0.02 to 3.20+0.22 mg/kg or 0.65+0.01 to 6.53+0.1 mg/kg) were simply additive in both sets of fixed-ratio dose combinations. CONCLUSIONS: The synergy of GBR 12909 and cocaine and the additivity of GBR 12909 and methamphetamine run counter to the presumed mechanisms of action of these drugs at dopamine nerve terminals, which might have implications for the use of GBR 12909 in the treatment of addiction to cocaine or amphetamines. 相似文献

Monoamine reuptake inhibitors enhance the discriminative state induced by cocaine in the rat 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Cocaine inhibits the reuptake of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), and serotonin (5-HT). To investigate the relative role of such reuptake processes in the discriminative stimulus properties of cocaine, male rats (N=16) were trained to discriminate cocaine (10 mg/kg) from saline in a two-lever, water-reinforced drug discrimination task and were administered neuroactive compounds during substitution or combination tests. The DA reuptake inhibitor GBR 12909 (2–16 mg/kg) completely mimicked cocaine. The reuptake inhibitors for NE (desipramine; 2–8 mg/kg) and 5-HT (fluoxetine; 0.625–5 mg/kg) did not substitute for the training drug. A low dose of either desipramine (3 mg/kg), fluoxetine (1.25 mg/kg), or GBR 12909 (2 mg/kg) coadministered with low doses of cocaine (0.625–2.5 mg/kg) enhanced the discriminative stimulus properties of this psychostimulant. The dose predicted to elicit 50% drug-lever responding is reduced (ED50) in the presence of desipramine (0.38 mg/kg), fluoxetine (0.79 mg/kg) or GBR 12909 (0.84 mg/kg) compared to the ED50 for cocaine (1.57 mg/kg) in the absence of any reuptake inhibitor. The finding that GBR 12909 mimics the cocaine cue corroborates the hypothesis that the stimulus properties of cocaine are mediated predominantly by DA systems. The potentiation of the stimulus effects of cocaine by monoamine reuptake inhibitors in rats suggests that these drugs could also amplify the subjective effects of cocaine in humans, a possibility that should be considered given the current use of antidepressants in the treatment of cocaine abusers. 相似文献

Rationale
Drug discrimination (DD) and drug self-administration (SA) are frequently used preclinical assays. All preclinical studies with cocaine have examined the discriminative stimulus (SD) and reinforcing (SR) effects in separate groups of subjects.Objective
The objective of the study is to train drug-naïve rhesus macaques to discriminate self-administered cocaine from saline and to assess SD and SR effects using a within-subjects design.Materials and methods
Adult male rhesus monkeys (n?=?4) were trained to self-administer cocaine (0.1 mg/kg per injection) under a progressive-ratio (PR) reinforcement schedule. Next, they were trained to discriminate self-administered cocaine (0.45 or 0.56 mg/kg) or saline under a fixed-ratio (FR) 50 schedule of food presentation. The final schedule combined DD and SA into a multiple [chained FR 50 SA (cocaine or saline), food-reinforced DD] and PR SA schedule.Results
Each subject acquired SA under a PR schedule with significant differences in breakpoint between saline and cocaine evident by session 5. Self-administered cocaine was established as an SD, such that 80% of responding before delivery of the first reinforcer and 90% of all responding occurred on the injection-appropriate lever. In all monkeys, there was at least one cocaine dose that did not engender cocaine-appropriate responding during DD (i.e., <20% cocaine-appropriate responding) yet functioned as a reinforcer during PR SA, suggesting that cocaine-like SD effects are not necessary for cocaine reinforcement.Conclusions
This within-subject model may provide new information related to the behavioral mechanisms of action leading to the high abuse potential of cocaine; such information may lead to novel pharmacological treatment strategies for addiction. 相似文献16.
Rats were trained to discriminate cocaine, 10.0 mg/kg, using a two-lever operant procedure. Dose-effect data were determined for the substitution of cocaine, diethylpropion, methylphenidate, phenmetrazine, phentermine, and fenfluramine for the cocaine stimulus. All of these drugs, except fenfluramine, substituted fully for the cocaine stimulus. Subsequently, training was halted and cocaine, 20 mg/kg/8 h, was administered for 9 days, and dose-effect data were redetermined for all of these drugs on days 7–9 of chronic administration. Chronic administration of cocaine produced tolerance to the stimulus properties of cocaine, and cross-tolerance to the stimulus properties of methylphenidate, phenmetrazine, and phentermine, such that doses approximately two-fold higher than those used acutely were necessary to reproduce the original effect; the potency for the substitution of diethylpropion for the cocaine stimulus was decreased greater than four-fold; and fenfluramine still failed to substitute for the cocaine stimulus. These data suggest that 1) a common mechanism may mediate tolerance to the discriminative stimulus properties of cocaine, methylphenidate, phenmetrazine, and phentermine, and 2) tolerance in the drug discrimination procedure may have potential for establishing a comprehensive evaluation of dependence liability of CNS stimulants. 相似文献

Dopamine D1 and D2 mediation of the discriminative stimulus properties ofd-amphetamine and cocaine 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Evidence suggests that stimulants such asd-amphetamine and cocaine act presynaptically by increasing the amount of dopamine (DA) available to stimulate postsynaptic DA receptors. Since two subpopulations of DA receptors (D1 and D2) exist, we investigated the role of both of these receptor subtypes in mediating the internal state produced by these stimulants. Two groups of rats (N=8/group) were trained to discriminate intraperitoneal (IP) injections of eitherd-amphetamine (1 mg/kg) or cocaine (10 mg/kg) from saline in a two-lever, water-reinforced, drug discrimination task. After stable performance was established (i.e., more than 85% correct under each training condition), substitution and combination tests were conducted with selective D1 and D2 agonists and antagonists. The D2 agonist quinpirole (0.0313–0.125 mg/kg) mimicked both stimulant cues while the D1 agoinst SKF 38393 (5–20 mg/kg) substituted partially for cocaine but notd-amphetamine. Combination tests with DA antagonists indicated that both the D1 antagonist SCH 23390 (0.0063–0.25 mg/kg) and the D2 antagonist haloperidol (0.125–0.5 mg/kg) attenuated the effects of both stimulants; in addition, the substitution of cocaine (20 mg/kg) ford-amphetamine was blocked by both DA antagonists. The ability of both D1 and D2 antagonists to attenuate the stimulus effects ofd-amphetamine and cocaine raises the possibility that a synergistic (enabling) interaction between D1 and D2 receptors may modulate stimulant cues. 相似文献

Cocaine exhibits preferential (~ 15-fold) affinity for σ1 over σ2 sigma receptors, and previous research has shown an interaction of σ1 receptor-selective ligands and cocaine's behavioral effects. The present study investigated the effect of the putative sigma receptor agonist SA 4503 (1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine dihydrochloride) on cocaine's locomotor stimulatory and discriminative stimulus properties. At doses without intrinsic activity, SA 4503 dose-dependently attenuated cocaine-induced hyperactivity in mice. This inhibition was overcome by increasing the cocaine dose. In rats trained to use cocaine as a discriminative stimulus in a drug discrimination task, doses of SA 4503 that did not substitute for the cocaine stimulus did not alter the cocaine substitution curve. However, SA 4503 potentiated the effect of methamphetamine to substitute for the cocaine stimulus. These data support a role for sigma receptors in the locomotor-activating properties of cocaine and, importantly, indicate a role for these receptors in the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine. The data also suggest sigma receptors mediate the activity of different dopamine pathways responsible for the behavioral effects of psychostimulants. 相似文献

Four rhesus monkeys were trained to discriminate the effect of apomorphine (0.1 mg/kg IM) from that of saline injections. The discriminative stimulus (DS) effect of apomorphine generalized to the dopamine D2 receptor agonist quinpirole. The D1 dopamine receptor agonist SKF 38393 elicited responses only on the saline-appropriate lever. Stimulus generalization of the dopamine autoreceptor agonist 3-PPP exhibited stereospecificity favoring the (+) over the (-) isomer. d-Amphetamine, phencyclidine, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), and clonidine did not share the DS effect of apomorphine. The D2-selective antagonists sulpiride and metoclopramide reversed both the DS effect and the response rate reduction produced by the training dose of apomorphine. Chlorpromazine and the D1 antagonist Sch 23390 also antagonized the DS effect, but the antagonism was accompanied by a further rate reduction. Haloperidol and clozapine antagonized the DS effect incompletely. The DS effect produced by apomorphine in this study appears to be mediated predominantly by post-synaptic D2 receptor activation, with contribution also from the D1 receptor. 相似文献

The discriminative stimulus (DS) effect of apomorphine was investigated in rats trained in a two-lever, food-reinforcement procedure. Rats were given subcutaneous injections of saline or 0.1 mg/kg apomorphine HCl, 15 min before training sessions. The training dose of apomorphine was chosen to activate dopamine autoreceptors selectively. Stimulus generalization studies demonstrated that the DS effects generalized completely to other directacting dopaminergic agonists such as N-n-propylnorapomorphine (NPNA), pergolide, lergotrile, and bromocriptine. The indirect-acting dopamine agonists, (+)amphetamine, cocaine, and methylphenidate produced predominantly saline-appropriate lever responses. The DS effect of apomorphine at the training dose was incompletely antagonized by haloperidol or metoclopramide. The dopaminergic antagonists tested, however, also partially generalized to apomorphine. Both enantiomers of 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-n-propylpiperidine (3-PPP) produced apomorphine-appropriate lever choice with the (-) enantiomer being slightly more potent. The discriminative property of this (0.1 mg/kg) dose of apomorphine has characteristics consistent with selective dopamine autoreceptor activation. 相似文献
