The neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying the behavioral effects ofd-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) were assessed by comparing the discriminative stimulus properties of LSD with those of agonists and antagonists that act selectively at putative serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) receptor subtypes (5-HT1 and 5-HT2). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (N=23) were trained to discriminate LSD (0.08 mg/kg) from saline and given substitution tests with the following agents: 8-hydroxy-2(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OHDPAT; 0.02–0.64 mg/kg), Ru 24969 (0.2–3.2 mg/kg),m-chlorophenylpiperazine (MCPP; 0.1–1.6 mg/kg), 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP; 0.1–1.6 mg/kg), and quipazine (0.2–3.2 mg/kg). Only quipazine mimicked LSD. In combination tests, BC 105 (0.2–3.2 mg/kg), 2-bromolysergic acid diethylamide (BOL; 0.1–1.6 mg/kg), Ly 53857 (0.4–3.2 mg/kg), metergoline (0.05–0.8 mg/kg), ketanserin (0.2–3.2 mg/kg), and pipenperone (0.0025–0.08 mg/kg), all of which act as 5-HT2 antagonists, blocked the LSD cue; only spiperone (0.02–0.32 mg/kg) was without effect. Although commonalities may exist among 5-HT agonists, the present results demonstrate that such agonists are not identical. Since putative 5-HT1 agonists do not mimic LSD and the LSD cue is potently blocked by 5-HT2 antagonists, it appears that 5-HT2 neuronal systems are of greater importance than 5-HT1 systems in mediating the discriminative stimulus and, perhaps, other effects of LSD. 相似文献

Antagonism of the discriminative and aversive stimulus properties of nicotine in C57BL/6J mice 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Mice of the C56BL/6J strain were trained to discriminate between nicotine (1.2 mg/kg) and saline in a two-lever drug discrimination procedure under a tandem variable-interval 60 s fixed-ratio 10 schedule of food reinforcement. Mice of the same strain were trained in conditioned taste aversion (CTA) experiments where drinking a saccharin or saline solution was paired with injection of nicotine or vehicle. During testing with both flavours presented simultaneously, a reduction in the intake of the nicotine-paired solution indicated CTA. The nicotine discrimination was acquired successfully and nicotine yielded a steep dose–response curve. The competitive nicotinic antagonist dihydro-β-erythroidine (DHβE, 0.6–3.0 mg/kg) shifted the dose–response for the discriminative stimulus effect of nicotine to the right; the 7 nicotinic receptor antagonist methyllycaconitine (MLA, 1.0–10 mg/kg) had no effect. The mice showed strong CTA to 2.0 mg/kg of nicotine and marginally to 0.6 and 1.2 mg/kg of nicotine. DHβE (3.0–5.6 mg/kg) attenuated the CTA while MLA (1.0–10 mg/kg) had no effect. These studies show that nicotine has discriminative and aversive stimulus properties in C57BL/6J mice and that the effects are mediated primarily by receptors sensitive to DHβE; there was no evidence for the involvement of 7 nicotinic receptors. 相似文献

Rationale The effect of LSD in humans has been described as occurring in two temporal phases. The behavioral effects in rats also occur in two temporal phases: an initial suppression of exploration followed by increased locomotor activity.Objectives We decided to investigate this phenomenon from the perspective that the pharmacology might have relevance to the neurochemical mechanisms underlying psychosis.Methods Twenty-five male Sprague–Dawley rats were trained to discriminate LSD (186 nmol/kg, 0.08 mg/kg, i.p.) with a 30-min preinjection time (LSD-30, N=12) and LSD (372 nmol/kg, 0.16 mg/kg, i.p.) with a 90-min preinjection time (LSD-90, N=13) from saline, using a two-lever, food-reinforced operant conditioning task.Results LSD (186 or 372 nmol/kg, 0.08 or 0.16 mg/kg) given 30 min prior to training produced a cue that was completely antagonized by 5-HT2A antagonists and lasted no longer than 1 h. LSD (372 nmol/kg, 0.16 mg/kg) injected 90 min before training produced a cue that was not fully blocked by 5-HT2A antagonists, but instead was significantly inhibited by haloperidol. In these rats, substitution no longer occurred with the 5-HT2 agonists DOI or LSD (30 min preinjection), but full substitution was obtained with the D2 agonists apomorphine, N-propyldihydrexidine, and quinelorane.Conclusion The discriminative stimulus effect of LSD in rats occurs in two phases, and these studies provide evidence that the later temporal phase is mediated by D2 dopamine receptor stimulation. A second temporal phase that involves dopaminergic pathways would be consistent with the widespread belief that excessive dopaminergic activity may be an underlying cause of paranoid psychosis. 相似文献

Male Wistar rats were trained to discriminate the interoceptive effects of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-OMe-DMT; 1.25 mg/kg, IP) from saline in a two-lever operant chamber. Following discrimination learning, the following drugs (with ED50 dose in mg/kg IP) dose-dependently generalized: lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD, 0.04), 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT, 0.11), 6-methoxy-4-(dipropyl-amino)-1,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenz(c,d)indole hydrochloride (BAY R 1531, 0.15), 5-OMe-DMT itself (0.63), ipsapirone (TVX Q 7821, 2.7), and buspirone (3.8). The potencies of these drugs in generalization tests were best correlated with their binding affinities for the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor subtype (as measured by displacement of 3H-ipsapirone in the hippocampus). Drugs not, or only partially generalizing included quipazine, bufotenin, m-trifluoromethylphenylpiperazine (TFMPP), 5-methoxy-3(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl)-1H-indole succinate (RU 24969), citalopram, clomipramine, 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-5-carboxylate (BAY K 8644), the buspirone metabolite 1-pyrimidinyl-piperazine (1-PP), methysergide, metergoline, and metitepine. Of the last three compounds with antagonistic activity at 5-HT receptors, as well as ketanserin, pizotifen, and ritanserin, only metitepine and pindolol could fully block the 5-OMe-DMT stimulus. Pizotifen blocked the generalization of quipazine fully, that of 5-OMe-DMT only partially, and that of ipsapirone not at all. These data indicate that the 5-HT1A receptor subtype is strongly involved in the transduction of the interoceptive discriminative stimuli induced by 5-OMe-DMT, with 5-HT2 agonism also playing a possible role. 相似文献

To investigate a dopaminergic component in the discriminative stimulus properties of buspirone, rats were trained to discriminate 2.5 mg/kg buspirone from saline, using a two lever, food-rewarded, fixed ratio 10 operant procedure. To test the dopamine-2(D2) antagonist action of buspirone, a second group of rats was trained to discriminate 0.16 mg/kg apomorphine from saline. In addition to a complete generalization to 8-OH-DPAT, the D2 antagonists haloperidol, R 79598 and sulpiride showed a partial generalization to buspirone. The benzodiazepine ligands chlordiazepoxide and bretazenil did not generalize to the buspirone cue. Buspirone (2.0 mg/kg) completely blocked the apomorphine cue in the apomorphine trained rats. Haloperidol, R 79895 and sulpiride also blocked the apomorphine cue, although at doses much smaller than the doses needed to evoke buspirone responding in the buspirone trained group. 8-OH-DPAT did not antagonize apomorphine. It was concluded that the D2 action of buspirone partially contributes to its discriminative stimulus properties. Mediation of the buspirone cue by 5-HT1a receptor activation seemed predominant. Further, buspirone can act as a full D2 antagonist in drug discrimination. A model was proposed suggesting a compound discriminative stimulus complex of buspirone with a dominant 5-HT1a component that overshadows a less pronounced D2 component. 相似文献

Rationale The atypical antipsychotic drug (APD) clozapine (CLZ) has been shown to have a robust discriminative cue in rats, pigeons, and monkeys in two-choice drug discrimination procedures.Objectives The present study determined whether a two-choice drug discrimination procedure with CLZ could be established in C57BL/6 mice and whether this procedure could distinguish between atypical and typical APDs.Methods C57BL/6 male mice were trained to discriminate 2.5 mg/kg CLZ from vehicle in a two-lever drug discrimination procedure.Results Generalization testing with CLZ produced full substitution at the 2.5- and 5.0-mg/kg doses with an ED50 of 1.14 mg/kg. The atypical APDs olanzapine (ED50=0.24 mg/kg), risperidone (ED50=0.072 mg/kg), and ziprasidone (ED50=0.33 mg/kg) fully substituted for CLZs discriminative cue, while the typical APD haloperidol failed to substitute for CLZ. Generalization testing with selective ligands showed that the serotonin (5-HT)2A/2B/2C antagonist ritanserin fully substituted for CLZ (ED50=2.08 mg/kg) and that the 5-HT receptor agonist quipazine significantly attenuated CLZs discriminative cue without disrupting response rates. The muscarinic receptor antagonist scopolamine, the dopamine agonist amphetamine, and the 5-HT agonist quipazine failed to substitute for CLZ.Conclusions These results demonstrated that antagonism of 5-HT receptors plays an important role in mediating the discriminative stimulus properties of the atypical APD CLZ in C57BL/6 mice. The atypical APDs olanzapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone fully substituted for CLZ, while the typical APD haloperidol did not. These results suggest that CLZ drug discrimination in C57BL/6 mice may be an effective preclinical behavioral assay for screening atypical from typical antipsychotic drugs. 相似文献

In an attempt to clarify the role of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the discriminative stimulus properties of MK 212 (6-chloro-2[1-piperazinyl]pyrazine), male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to discriminate 0.5 mg/kg of this compound from saline. While the putative 5-HT agonists fenfluramine and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (MCPP) mimicked MK 212 in a dose-related manner, d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), 8-hydroxy-2(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OHDPAT), 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT), quipazine, Ru 24969, and 1-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP) failed to substitute completely. The 5-HT1/5-HT2 antagonists BC 105, metergoline, and methysergide completely blocked the MK 212 cue, while the selective 5-HT2 antagonists ketanserin and pirenperone, the dopamine antagonists haloperidol and spiperone, and the beta-noradrenergic antagonist propranolol were without effect. The substitutions of fenfluramine and MCPP for MK 212 support a role for 5-HT in the MK 212 cue; however, the lack of substitution of many other 5-HT agonists is difficult to explain. The complete antagonism by 5-HT1/5-HT2 but not by selective 5-HT2, antagonists suggests the possibility that 5-HT1 receptors mediate the stimulus properties of MK 212. Further research is needed to support this hypothesis and to investigate the relative role of 5-HT and other neurotransmitters in the stimulus effects of MK 212.Portions of this research were presented at the Meeting of the Committee on Problems of Drug Dependence Satellite Session (International Study Group Interested in Drugs as Reinforcers and the Society for the Stimulus Properties of Drugs) in Baltimore, MD (1985) 相似文献

Like hallucinogenic 5-HT2 agonists, LSD (d-lysergic acid diethylamide) produces characteristic decreases in locomotor activity and investigatory behaviors of rats tested in a novel environment. Because LSD is an agonist at both 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors, however, the respective influences of these different receptors in the behavioral effects of LSD remain unclear. In particular, the paucity of selective 5-HT1A antagonists has made it difficult to assess the specific contribution of 5-HT1A receptors to the effects of LSD. An alternative approach to the delineation of receptor-specific effects is the use of cross-tolerance regimens. In the present studies, rats were pretreated with saline, 8-hydroxy-2(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (0.5 mg/kg SC), 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) (1.0 mg/kg SC), or LSD (60 µg/kg SC), every 12 h for 5 or 8 days. Thirty-six hours later, rats were tested in a behavioral pattern monitor 10 min after injection of saline, 0.5 mg/kg 8-OH-DPAT, 1.0 mg/kg DOI, or 60 µg/kg LSD. As expected, tolerance to the decreases in locomotor activity produced by acute administrations of 8-OH-DPAT, DOI, or LSD occurred when rats were pretreated chronically with 8-OH-DPAT, DOI, or LSD, respectively. Furthermore, pretreatment with either 8-OH-DPAT or DOI produced cross-tolerance to LSD. These results support the hypothesis that the effects of LSD in this model reflect a combination of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 effects and support the view that there is an interaction between 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors. 相似文献

Rats were trained on a fixed ratio 10, food-reinforced schedule to recognize a discriminative stimulus (DS) elicited by the
selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), citalopram (2.5 mg/kg, IP). The preferential, high efficacy agonist
at 5-HT2C receptors, Ro60-0175, dose-dependently generalized to citalopram with an ED50 of 0.3 mg/kg, IP. Further, the selective 5-HT2C receptor antagonist, SB242,084, dose-dependently (ED50=0.1 mg/kg, IP) blocked the citalopram DS. These data suggest that 5-HT2C receptors are involved in the DS properties of the SSRI, citalopram, in rats. They do not, however, exclude a potential role
of other 5-HT receptor types.

Rationale Few studies have examined the effects of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine (2C-T-7) in vivo.
Objectives 2C-T-7 was tested in a drug-elicited head twitch assay in mice and in several drug discrimination assays in rats; 2C-T-7 was
compared to the phenylisopropylamine hallucinogen R(−)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2aminopropane (DOM) in both assays,
with or without pretreatment with the selective 5-HT2A antagonist (+)-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[2-(4-fluorophenylethyl)]-4-piperidine-methanol (M100907). Finally, the affinity of
2C-T-7 for three distinct 5-HT receptors was determined in rat brain.
Methods Drug-elicited head twitches were quantified for 10 min following administration of various doses of either 2C-T-7 or R(−)-DOM,
with and without pretreatments of 0.01 mg/kg M100907. In rats trained to discriminate lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), 2C-T-7
and R(−)-DOM were tested for generalization. In further studies, rats were trained to discriminate 2C-T-7 from saline, then
challenged with 0.05 mg/kg M100907. In competition binding studies, the affinity of 2C-T-7 was assessed at 5-HT2A receptors, 5-HT1A receptors, and 5-HT2C receptors.
Results 2C-T-7 and R(−)-DOM induced similar head twitch responses in the mouse that were antagonized by M100907. In the rat, 2C-T-7
produced an intermediate degree of generalization (75%) to the LSD cue and served as a discriminative stimulus; these interoceptive
effects were attenuated by M100907. Finally, 2C-T-7 had nanomolar affinity for 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors and lower affinity for 5-HT1A receptors.
Conclusions 2C-T-7 is effective in two rodent models of 5-HT2 agonist activity and has affinity at receptors relevant to hallucinogen effects. The effectiveness with which M100907 antagonizes
the behavioral actions of 2C-T-7 strongly suggests that the 5-HT2A receptor is an important site of action for this compound. 相似文献

The role of 5-HT1A autoreceptors in the discriminative stimulus properties of 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 mg/kg, SC) in rats, was investigated. Drug lever appropriate responding to 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 mg/kg, SC) and ipsapirone (3 mg/kg, SC) was measured before and after treatment with para-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA) at a dose (150 mg/kg IP, –3 and –2 days) which causes severe depletion of brain 5-HT stores. The recognition of the drug stimulus was not significantly altered by pCPA. These results indicate that activation of 5-HT1A autoreceptors is of minimal importance to the 8-OH-DPAT cue. 相似文献

In the context of animal studies of hallucinogens, an LSD-false positive is defined as a drug known to be devoid of hallucinogenic activity in humans but which nonetheless fully mimics LSD in animals. Quipazine, MK-212, lisuride, and yohimbine have all been reported to be LSD false positives. The present study was designed to determine whether these compounds also substitute for the stimulus effects of the more pharmacologically selective hallucinogen (–)DOM (0.56 mg/kg, 75-min pretreatment time). The LSD and (–)DOM stimuli fully generalized to quipazine (3.0 mg/kg) and lisuride (0.2 mg/kg), but only partially generalized to MK-212 (0.1–1.0 mg/kg) and yohimbine (2–20 mg/kg). In combination tests, pirenpirone (0.08 mg/kg), a compound with both D2 and 5-HT2A affinity, blocked the substitution of quipazine and lisuride for the (–)DOM stimulus. Ketanserin (2.5 mg/kg), an antagonist with greater than 1 order of magnitude higher affinity for 5-HT2A receptors than either 5-HT2C or D2 receptors, also fully blocked the substitution of these compounds for the (–)DOM stimulus, while the selective D2 antagonist thiothixene (0.1–1.0 mg/kg) failed to block the substitution of lisuride for the (–)DOM stimulus. These results suggest that quipazine and lisuride substitute for the stimulus properties of the phenylalkglamine hallucinogen (–)DOM via agonist activity at 5-HT2A receptors. In addition, these results suggest that 5-HT2A agonist activity may be required, but is not in itself sufficient, for indolamine and phenylalkglamine compounds to elicit hallucinations in humans. Finally, it is concluded that MK-212 and yohimbine are neither LSD nor (–)DOM false positives.This study was supported in part by US Public Health Service grant DA 03385 (J.C.W., R.A.R.), by National Research Service Award MH 10567 (D.F.), and by a fellowship from Schering-Plough Research Institute (D.F.).

5-HT3 receptor antagonists, e.g. MDL72222, ondansetron and ICS205-930, have been previously reported to block a morphine (1.5 mg/kg)-induced conditioned place preference in rats. This finding suggests that these drugs may modify the morphine discriminative stimulus which underlies place conditioning. To study this further we have examined the effects of MDL72222, ondansetron and ICS205-930 against a morphine discriminative stimulus using a two-choice, food reinforced, operant paradigm. In an attempt to provide consistency with previous place conditioning studies, a morphine training dose of 1.5 mg/kg was used in addition to a higher 3 mg/kg dose which was studied in separate animals. Stimulus control of behaviour was attained at both morphine training doses, the characteristics of each being consistent with an effect at the mu opioid receptor. Ondansetron (0.001–1 mg/kg), MDL72222 (0.1–3 mg/kg), and ICS205-930 (0.001–1 mg/kg) all failed to consistently antagonise the morphine cue at both training doses, although a mild attenuation was seen in the 1.5 mg/kg group following pretreatment with an intermediate dose of ondansetron and ICS205-930 (both 0.01 mg/kg). The present results therefore suggest hat 5-HT3 antagonists do not block a morphine discriminative state, at least in rats. 相似文献

Serotonergic hallucinogens produce profound changes in perception, mood, and cognition. These drugs include phenylalkylamines such as mescaline and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM), and indoleamines such as (+)-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin. Despite their differences in chemical structure, the two classes of hallucinogens produce remarkably similar subjective effects in humans, and induce cross-tolerance. The phenylalkylamine hallucinogens are selective 5-HT2 receptor agonists, whereas the indoleamines are relatively non-selective for serotonin (5-HT) receptors. There is extensive evidence, from both animal and human studies, that the characteristic effects of hallucinogens are mediated by interactions with the 5-HT2A receptor. Nevertheless, there is also evidence that interactions with other receptor sites contribute to the psychopharmacological and behavioral effects of the indoleamine hallucinogens. This article reviews the evidence demonstrating that the effects of indoleamine hallucinogens in a variety of animal behavioral paradigms are mediated by both 5-HT2 and non-5-HT2 receptors. 相似文献

Previous work has shown that 5-HT2C receptor agonists and 5-HT2A receptor antagonists reduce impulsive action, as well as the locomotor stimulant effect of psychomotor stimulants. Since psychomotor stimulants also increase impulsive action we examined the effects of the 5-HT2C receptor agonist Ro60-0175, and the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist M100907 on impulsive action induced by amphetamine, cocaine and the NMDA receptor antagonist MK801 (dizocilpine). Impulsive action was measured in adult male Long-Evans rats as premature responding in the 5-choice serial reaction time (5-CSRT) test. Initially, we determined that amphetamine (0.3 mg/kg), cocaine (15 mg/kg) and MK801 (0.03 mg/kg) induced comparable premature response rates of approximately 50-70 per session, compared to 10-15 responses under baseline conditions. Each drug and its vehicle were then tested in combination with Ro60-0175 (0.1 and 0.6 mg/kg) or its vehicle, or M100907 (0.5 mg/kg) or its vehicle. At 0.1 mg/kg Ro60-0175 did not modify the effects of amphetamine, cocaine or MK801. In contrast, the 0.6 mg/kg dose reduced premature responses induced by amphetamine, cocaine and MK801. M100907 also reduced premature responding induced by all three of these drugs. In general, treatment with Ro60-0175 or M100907 by itself did not consistently alter any of the other aspects of task performance in the 5-CSRT test including number of trials completed, and accuracy of responding. These data show that activation of 5-HT2C receptors and blockade of 5-HT2A receptors have seemingly similar functional effects on a measure of impulsive action. 相似文献

The present study was designed to determine the effects ofp-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) andp-chloroamphetamine (PCA) administration on (1) the levels of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in rat brain, (2) the sensitivity of LSD-trained rats to the stimulus effects of LSD, and (3) the maximal levels of 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor mediated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis in rat brain. PCA and PCPA both produced a significant depletion of whole brain 5-HT and 5-HIAA concentrations. The depletion of serotonin with PCPA, but not PCA, resulted in supersensitivity of LSD-trained subjects to the stimulus effects of LSD. Neither PCPA nor PCA treatment altered the maximal level of 5-HT2A receptor-mediated PI hydrolysis. However, PCPA, but not PCA, treatment resulted in a significant upregulation (46%,P<0.05) of the maximal level of 5-HT2C receptor mediated PI hydrolysis. These data suggest that upregulation of the 5-HT2C receptor mediates the supersensitivity to LSD discriminative stimulus which follows the depletion of central nervous system serotonin by PCPA.This study was supported in part by US Public Health Service grant DA 03385 (J.C.W., R.A.R.), by National Research Service Award MH 10567 (D.F.), and by a fellowship from Schering-Plough Research Institute (D.F.).

Employing a two-lever, food-reinforced FR10 procedure, rats were trained to recognize a discriminative stimulus (DS) elicited by the 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist and potential antipsychotic agent, MDL100,907 (0.16 mg/kg, i.p.). In generalization tests, by analogy to MDL100,907 itself (Effective Dose(50) (ED(50)), 0.002 mg/kg, s.c.), the 'atypical' antipsychotic, clozapine, which displays high affinity for 5-HT(2A) as compared to D(2) receptors, dose-dependently and fully generalized to MDL100,907 (ED(50), 0.2 mg/kg, s.c.). S16924 (0.05 mg/kg, s.c.), S18327 (0.09 mg/kg, s.c.), quetiapine (1.8 mg/kg, s.c.), risperidone (0.02 mg/kg, s.c.) and ziprasidone (0.01 mg/kg, s.c.), antipsychotics which possess-like clozapine-marked affinity for 5-HT(2A) versus D(2) receptors, also generalized to MDL100,907. In distinction, raclopride, an antipsychotic which selectively interacts with D(2) versus 5-HT(2A) receptors, did not display significant generalization. Interestingly, haloperidol, which shows only modest affinity for 5-HT(2A) versus D(2) sites, generalized to MDL100,907 (ED(50), 0.02 mg/kg, s.c.). In light of the antagonist properties of haloperidol, clozapine and all other antipsychotics tested (except raclopride) at alpha(1)-adrenoceptors (ARs), the selective alpha(1)-AR antagonists, prazosin and WB4101, were examined. Both dose-dependently and fully generalized to MDL100,907 (ED(50)s, 0.07 and 0.11 mg/kg, s.c., respectively). At doses showing pronounced generalization to MDL100,907, the only drugs which significantly suppressed response rates were haloperidol and, weakly, quetiapine. Raclopride also markedly decreased response rates. In conclusion, the antipsychotic agents, clozapine, ziprasidone, risperidone, S16924, S18327, quetiapine and haloperidol, all generalized to a DS elicited by MDL100,907. While D(2) receptors are not implicated in their actions, in addition to antagonist properties at 5-HT(2A) receptors, blockade of alpha(1)-ARs and other, as yet unidentified, mechanisms may be involved. These data underpin interest in MDL100,907 as a potential antipsychotic agent. 相似文献

Risperidone was studied in a 0.16 mg/kg LSD-saline drug discrimination test procedure. At doses varying from 0.0025 to 0.63 mg/kg, no LSD-like agonist effects were observed. Studies on the antagonism of the LSD-cue indicated that risperidone was able to completely block the discriminative stimulus properties of LSD with a minimum ED50-value of 0.028 mg/kg. Risperidone was also very active over time with reference to LSD antagonism, the ED50s after 2, 4 and 8 h pretreatment being 0.028, 0.064 and 0.44 mg/kg. Response rate reductions were only observed at doses 0.16 mg/kg after 1 h and at 0.63 mg/kg after 2 h pretreatment. Four and 8 h after treatment, no rate-reducing effects were apparent at doses up to 2.50 mg/kg. Thus at pretreatment intervals ranging between 2 and 8 h, complete antagonism of LSD without any rate effects was obtained. As compared to other LSD antagonists, risperidone was quantitatively better than setoperone and ritanserin and longer acting than pirenperone. Based on the pharmacological profile of risperidone and the other LSD antagonists, it was concluded that a potent central 5-HT2 and catecholamine antagonism is needed for a potent and complete antagonism of the 0.16 mg/kg LSD-cue. The potential clinical effect of risperidone in the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia is discussed. 相似文献

The 5-HT(2C) receptor is an attractive drug target in the quest for new therapeutics to treat a variety of human disorders. We have previously undertaken a structural optimization campaign that has led to some potent and moderately selective 5-HT(2C) receptor agonists. After expanding our structure-function library, we were able to combine our datasets so as to allow the design of compounds of improved selectivity and potency. We disclose herein the structural optimization of our previously reported 5-HT(2B)/5-HT(2C) agonists, which has led to the identification of a highly selective 5-HT(2C) agonist, (+)-trans-[2-(2-cyclopropylmethoxyphenyl)cyclopropyl]methylamine hydrochloride, with an EC(50) of 55 nM and no detectable agonism at the 5-HT(2B) receptor. 相似文献

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are characterized by high clinical effectiveness and good tolerability. A 2-3 week delay in the onset of effects is caused by adaptive mechanisms, probably at the serotonergic (5-HT) receptor level. To analyze this in detail, we measured 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptor bindings in vitro after 3 weeks of citalopram treatment (20 mg/kg i.p. daily) in group-housed as well as isolation-housed mice, reflecting neurobiological aspects seen in psychiatric patients. Isolation housing increased somatodendritic (+52%) and postsynaptic (+30-95%) 5-HT(1A) as well as postsynaptic 5-HT(2A) receptor binding (+25-34%), which confirms previous findings. Chronic citalopram treatment did not induce alterations in raphe 5-HT(1A) autoreceptor binding, independent of housing conditions. Housing-dependent citalopram effects on postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) receptor binding were found with increases in group- (+11-42%) but decreases in isolation-housed (-11 to 35%) mice. Forebrain 5-HT(2A) receptor binding decreased between 11 and 38% after chronic citalopram administration, independent of housing conditions. Citalopram's long-term action comprises alterations at the postsynaptic 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptor binding levels. Housing conditions interact with citalopram effects, especially on 5-HT(1A) receptor binding, and should be more strongly considered in pharmacological studies. In general, SSRI-induced alterations were more pronounced and affected more brain regions in isolates, supporting the concept of a higher responsiveness in "stressed" animals. Isolation-induced receptor binding changes were partly normalized by chronic citalopram treatment, suggesting the isolation housing model for further analyses of SSRI effects, especially at the behavioral level. 相似文献
