The effect of the dopaminergic antagonist haloperidol on the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to [14C]alpha-aminoisobutyric acid was studied in 10-12- and 28-30-week old rats. Following the intraperitoneal injection of haloperidol (1 mg kg-1), an increase in the permeability of the BBB, with respect to younger animals, was observed within the occipital cortex, striatum, hippocampus and hypothalamus in the older rats. No correlation was found between haloperidol-induced changes and age-related differences in the permeability of the BBB. Such age-associated increase in the vulnerability of the BBB when challenged with haloperidol might be related to a deterioration of the dopaminergic control of cerebrovascular permeability.  相似文献

1. An investigation has been made in rats into the neurotoxic effect of the relatively selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurotoxin, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or 'Ecstasy') using chlormethiazole and dizocilpine, both known neuroprotective compounds and also gamma-butyrolactone, ondansetron and pentobarbitone. 2. Administration of MDMA (20 mg kg-1, i.p.) resulted in a 50% loss of cortical and hippocampal 5-HT and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) 4 days later. This reflects the long term neurotoxic loss of 5-HT that occurs. Injection of gamma-butyrolactone (GBL; 400 mg kg-1, i.p.) 5 min before and 55 min after the MDMA provided substantial protection. Pentobarbitone (25 mg kg-1, i.p.) using the same dose regime was also protective, but ondansetron (0.5 mg kg-1 or 0.1 mg kg-1, i.p.) was without effect. 3. MDMA (20 mg kg-1) had no significant effect on striatal dopamine concentration 4 days later but did produce a small decrease in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) content. There were few significant changes in rats given MDMA plus GBL, ondansetron or pentobarbitone. 4. A single injection of MDMA (20 mg kg-1, i.p.) resulted in a greater than 80% depletion of 5-HT in hippocampus and cortex 4 h later, reflecting the initial rapid release that had occurred. None of the neuroprotective compounds (chlormethiazole, 50 mg kg-1; dizocilpine, 1 mg kg-1; GBL, 400 mg kg-1; pentobarbitone, 25 mg kg-1) given 5 min before and 55 min after the MDMA injection, altered the degree of 5-HT loss. 5. Acute MDMA injection increased striatal dopamine content (28%) and decreased the DOPAC content. In general, administration of the drugs under investigation did not significantly alter these MDMA-induced changes. Both chlormethiazole and GBL produced a greater increase in dopamine than MDMA alone, but this was apparently an additive effect to the action of either drug alone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The interactions on antinociception between a muscarinic agonist arecoline (arec), an anticholinesterase physostigmine (physo) which both cross CNS, and a peripherally acting antimuscarinic hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (hyo), were assessed by tail flick test in mice. All drugs were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.). While hyoscine-N-butyl bromide (0.15 and 4.00 mg/kg, i.p.) did not produce antinociception, physostigmine salicylate (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.) and arecoline hydrobromide (8.00 mg/kg, i.p.) exerted significant antinociceptive effect. In combined applications, physo + hyo (0.075 + 0.15; 0.15 + 0.30; 0.30 + 0.60 mg/kg) and arec + hyo (1.00 + 0.50; 2.00 + 1.00; 4.00 + 2.00; 8.00 + 4.00 mg/kg), respectively, produced significant antinociception and the tail flick latencies produced by physo 0.30 + hyo 0.60 mg/kg and arec 8.00 + hyo 4.00 mg/kg were not significantly different from those of physo 0.30 mg/kg and arec 8.00 mg/kg, respectively, showing that hyo did not antagonise the antinociceptive effects of physo and arec. We believe that combining an centrally acting cholinergic drug applied systemically with a peripherally acting (quaternary amine) antimuscarinic compound might be used as an effective analgesic in clinical practice.  相似文献

The effects of histamine on intestinal motility have been investigated in conscious rats, fed or fasted, using an electromyographic method. Histamine peripherally administered (10 mg kg-1) in 15 h fasted rats induced an inhibition followed by a period of irregular spiking activity disrupting the duodenojejunal migrating myoelectric complexes (MMC) and suppressed the postprandial motor spiking activity when administered 50 min after a meal. The selective agonist of the H1-receptors, 2-pyridylethylamine (2-PEA) induced an irregular spiking activity while dimaprit acting on H2-receptors, inhibited the MMC pattern. Effects of peripherally administered histamine were antagonized by previous administration of chlorpheniramine (0.5 mg kg-1 i.p.) and in a lesser extent by cimetidine (10 mg kg-1 i.p.). Histamine (1-10 micrograms) administered intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) in fasted rats increased the motor cycle frequency and immediately restored the MMC pattern when given to fed rats. Among the three agonists of the H1- H2- and H3-receptors (2-PEA, dimaprit and R-alpha-methylhistamine, respectively) only R-alpha-methylhistamine (1-10 micrograms i.c.v.) was able to reproduce this effect. It is concluded that the effects of histamine on intestinal motility were centrally and peripherally mediated involving mainly H1-receptors at the peripheral level and H3-receptors at the CNS level.  相似文献

This study was performed to investigate whether WIN 55,212-2 (WIN), a cannabinoid receptor agonist, could attenuate blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in focal cerebral ischemia in rats and whether the CB 1 receptor antagonist rimonabant could prevent this attenuation. A total of 0.3 or 1 mg/kg of WIN was injected intravenously before and after permanent middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Some animals were pretreated with rimonabant 2 mg/kg i.p. before receiving 0.3 mg/kg of WIN. At 1 h after MCA occlusion, BBB permeability was determined by measuring the transfer coefficient (K(i)) of (14)C-α-aminoisobutyric acid and the volume of dextran distribution. With MCA occlusion, K(i) increased in the ischemic cortex (IC) in all of the experimental groups. However, the K(i) of the IC of the WIN 0.3 and 1 mg/kg groups was lower (–46 and –42%, respectively, p < 0.05) than that of the control group. With rimonabant pretreatment, the K(i) of the IC became higher ((+)88%, p < 0.05) than with WIN 0.3 mg/kg alone and similar to that of the control rats. The difference in the volume of dextran distribution between the IC and the contralateral cortex was significant in the control but not in the WIN-treated rats. With rimonabant pretreatment, however, the difference became significant. Our data demonstrated that WIN could attenuate BBB disruption in focal cerebral ischemia and this attenuation could be prevented with rimonabant. Our data suggest an involvement of CB(1) receptors in the regulation of BBB disruption in the early stage of stroke.  相似文献

7-Nitro indazole (7-NI) inhibits mouse cerebellar nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in vitro with an IC50 of 0.47 microM. Following i.p. administration in mice, 7-NI (10-50 mg kg-1) produces dose-related anti-nociception as evidenced by an inhibition of late phase (15-30 min) but not early phase (0-5 min) hindpaw licking time following subplantar injection of formalin (10 microliters, 5% v/v). The ED50 for this effect was 26 mg kg-1 (equivalent to 159.5 mumol kg-1). Similar i.p. administration of 7-NI (20 and 80 mg kg-1) in urethane-anaesthetized mice failed to increase MAP. Thus, 7-NI is a novel inhibitor of NOS which exhibits selectivity for the brain enzyme. Accordingly, 7-NI may be a useful starting point for the development of selective, centrally acting NOS inhibitors devoid of cardiovascular side effects and as a tool to study the central pharmacological effects of nitric oxide (NO).  相似文献

The effects of various doses of DSP4 on two-way active avoidance acquisition in rats and on central noradrenaline neurones were compared. Doses of DSP4 from 3 mg kg-1 i.p. and upwards injected one week before the onset of the avoidance trials significantly impaired two-way avoidance learning. The learning impairment caused by DSP4 (50 mg kg-1 i.p.) lasted for at least 10 weeks. Desipramine (20 mg kg-1) injected either 30 or 60 min before DSP4 (50 mg kg-1) antagonized the active avoidance impairment. A high dose of DSP4 (50 mg kg-1 i.p.) produced profound decreases in dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity in the frontal cortex and in the concentrations of noradrenaline in various brain regions indicating degeneration of the locus coeruleus noradrenaline system. Low doses of DSP4 (3 and 6 mg kg-1 i.p.) produced small but significant decrease in the concentrations of noradrenaline (NA) in some regions, e.g. cerebral cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb and spinal cord. The avoidance impairment caused by the low dose of DSP4 (3 mg kg-1) was absent when rats were tested 10 weeks after treatment nor was NA depletion present when NA was analysed 3 months after treatment.  相似文献

1. The binding of [3H]-idazoxan in the presence of 10(-6) M (-)-adrenaline was used to quantitate non-adrenoceptor idazoxan binding sites (NAIBS) in the rat brain after treatment with various psychotropic drugs. 2. Chronic treatment (14 days) with the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors clorgyline (0.3-10 mg kg-1, i.p.) and pargyline (10 mg kg-1, i.p.), but not with Ro 41-1049 (1 mg kg-1, i.p.), markedly decreased (30-50%) the density of NAIBS in the cerebral cortex without any apparent change in the affinity of the radioligand. 3. Acute (1 day) and/or chronic treatments (14 days) with other psychotropic drugs such as desipramine (3 mg kg-1, i.p.), cocaine (10 mg kg-1, i.p.), reserpine (0.12 mg kg-1, s.c.), haloperidol (1 mg kg-1, i.p.) and diazepam (10 mg kg-1, i.p.) did not alter the density of NAIBS in the cerebral cortex. 4. In vitro, the propargylamines clorgyline, pargyline and deprenyl displaced the binding of [3H]-idazoxan to NAIBS from two distinct sites, but only clorgyline displayed an apparent very high affinity for a relevant population of NAIBS (KiH = 40 pM; KiL = 10.6 microM). The structurally diverse MAO inhibitors Ro 16-6491 (selective for MAO-B) and Ro 41-1049 (selective for MAO-A), as well as the other psychotropic drugs (desipramine, cocaine, reserpine and haloperidol) displaced the binding of [3H]-idazoxan to NAIBS monophasically and with very low potencies.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Both (+/-)-meptazinol (2 mg kg-1) and levorphanol (1 mg kg-1) produced hyperphagia over a 4 h period after intraperitoneal injection in free feeding rats during the daylight phase. The individual (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of meptazinol (2 mg kg-1 i.p.) induced comparable increases in cumulative food intake. N-methyl meptazinol (2-10 mg kg-1 i.p.), the quaternary analogue of meptazinol, produced no modification of food intake though it increased food consumption when injected intracerebroventricularly (10-100 micrograms per animal). Meptazinol and levorphanol hyperphagia was abolished by 1 mg kg-1 doses (i.p.) of the opioid antagonists naltrexone, naloxonazine and (-)-Mr 1452 but not by its (+)-enantiomer Mr 1453 which is not effective as an opioid antagonist. Intracerebroventricular administration of the delta-opioid antagonist ICI 154,129 (10 micrograms per animal) suppressed meptazinol but not levorphanol hyperphagia. It was concluded that meptazinol produces centrally mediated stereospecifically reversible hyperphagia through a mu-opioid receptor mechanism common to levorphanol, and also through delta-opioid receptor mechanism(s).  相似文献

The injection of fenfluramine (7.5 mg kg-1,i.p.) to rats housed at 27-28 degrees C was associated with an elevation of core body temperature which peaked at approximately 1 h post-injection. One h pretreatment with citalopram (20 mg kg-1, i.p.), chlorimipramine (10 mg kg-1, i.p.), femoxetine (10 mg kg-1, i.p.) and fluoxetine (20 mg kg-1, i.p.) resulted in an attenuated response to fenfluramine. In contrast, Org 6582 (20 mg kg-1) and zimelidine (20 mg kg-1) were devoid of an effect on fenfluramine-induced hyperthermia. The response to fenfluramine was was also blocked by i.p. injections of metergoline (0.2 mg kg-1), methysergide (5 mg kg-1) and mianserin (0.5 mg kg-1). Rectal temperature was unaltered by both the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake inhibitors and the 5-HT receptor antagonists. The IC50 values (nM) for in vitro inhibition of [3H]-5-HT uptake into rat hypothalamic synaptosomes were for citalopram 2.4, chlorimipramine 8.8, femoxetine 14, fluoxetine 16, Org 6582 75 and zimelidine 250. The injection of all six compounds (20 mg kg-1, i.p.) 1 h before death was associated with an inhibition of [3H]-5-HT uptake into rat hypothalamic synaptosomes which ranged from 47.2% for chlorimipramine to 83.3% for citalopram. Rat hypothalamic 5-HT levels were decreased by approximately 50% 3 h after the injection of fenfluramine (15 mg kg-1, i.p.). This effect was blocked by a 1 h pretreatment with fluoxetine, Org 6582 and zimelidine (all 20 mg kg-1, i.p.). Ki values for displacement of specifically bound [3H]-5-HT (1 nM) to rat hypothalamic membranes were for metergoline 26 nM, methysergide 1.1 microM, mianserin 3.6 microM, chlorimipramine 9.2 microM and fluoxetine 32.7 microM. Values for citalopram, femoxetine, Org 6582 and zimelidine were in excess of 65.4 microM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

1. The electroencephalographic (EEG) effects of drugs interacting with dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems were studied in conscious rats. Power spectra (0 - 30 Hz) were recorded from electrodes implanted bilaterally in the prefrontal cortex. Drug effects on EEG power were calculated as the spectral power following drug administration divided by the spectral power after vehicle administration. 2. Dopaminergic agonists at low doses, (apomorphine 0. 01 mg kg-1 s.c., quinpirole 0.01 mg kg-1 i.p.) and dopaminergic antagonists (haloperidol 1 mg kg-1 i.p., raclopride 2.5 mg kg-1 s.c. ), which decrease dopaminergic transmission, induced an increase of EEG power. Conversely, dopaminergic agonists at higher doses (apomorphine 0.5 mg kg-1 s.c., quinpirole 0.5 mg kg-1 i.p.) which increase activation of postsynaptic D2 and D3 receptors, induced a decrease of EEG power. 3. The alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists (phenoxybenzamine 0.64 mg kg-1 s.c., prazosin 0.32 mg kg-1 s.c.) and the alpha2-adrenoceptor agonists (UK 14304 0.05 mg kg-1 s.c., clonidine 0.025 mg kg-1 i.p.), which decrease noradrenergic transmission, induced an increase of EEG power. Conversely, the alpha1-adrenoceptor agonist, cirazoline (0.05 mg kg-1 s.c.), the adrenergic agent modafinil (250, 350 mg kg-1 i.p.) and alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonists (RX 821002 0.01 mg kg-1 s.c., yohimbine 0.5 mg kg-1 i.p.), which increase noradrenergic transmission, induced a decrease of EEG power. The effects of prazosin (0.64 mg kg-1 s.c.) were dose-dependently antagonized by co-administration with modafinil and cirazoline, but not by apomorphine. 4. In conclusion, pharmacological modulation of dopaminergic and noradrenergic transmission may result in consistent EEG changes: decreased dopaminergic or noradrenergic activity induces an increase of EEG spectral power; while increased dopaminergic or noradrenergic activity decreases EEG spectral power.  相似文献

An ex-vivo and in-vitro study of the effects of imipramine on the membrane anisotropy and phospholipid methylation in the rat cortical membranes was carried out. A comparative study of the membrane fluidity in various brain regions indicated different basal anisotropy of the areas and different reaction of these membranes to imipramine. It was found that imipramine when given to rats chronically (14 x 10 mg kg-1, i.p.) or added externally to the cortical membranes of naive rats or rats treated with a single dose of imipramine (10 mg kg-1, i.p.) decreased the anisotropy of cortical membranes. Chronic imipramine produced some changes of the membrane architecture in the cortex, whereas imipramine in different concentrations did not fluidize these membranes in-vitro. Imipramine in concentrations corresponding to its mean concentration in the rat brain after administration at a dose of 10 mg kg-1 i.p., potentiated phospholipid methylation in the cortical membranes of naive rats and rats receiving imipramine in a single dose of 10 mg kg-1 i.p. in an in-vitro study, whereas the prolonged administration of imipramine decreased the sensitivity of phospholipid methyltransferases to the stimulating effect of the drug in-vitro.  相似文献

Bilateral kainic acid lesions of the ventro-medial (VM) thalamic nucleus of rats which greatly reduced the catalepsy produced by haloperidol (2 mg/kg i.p.) not only did not reduce, but even enhanced, the cataleptogenic effect of eserine (1 mg/kg i.p.) and arecoline (30 mg/kg i.p.). This finding is in accord with former conclusions that catalepsy produced by cholinergic drugs does not depend on striatal mechanisms. In rats with kainic acid lesions of the VM thalamic nucleus, and similarly in intact, non-lesioned rats, systemic administration of eserine and arecoline potentiated the catalepsy produced by microinjections of carbachol (2 μg) into the pontine reticular formation (PRF). Atropine microinjected bilaterally into the PRF attenuated the cataleptogenic effect of eserine and arecoline i.p. We suggest that the PRF is a site at which systemically given cholinergic drugs act to produce catalepsy. Received: 6 May 1996 / Accepted: 6 March 1997  相似文献

1. The concentration of the astrocytic marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was quantitated by immunoblotting (western blotting) in the rat brain after treatment with various imidazoline drugs and other agents. 2. Chronic (7 days) but not acute (1 day) treatment with the imidazoline drugs, cirazoline (1 mg kg-1, i.p.) and idazoxan (10 mg kg-1, i.p.), but not with the structurally related alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonists, RX821002 (2-methoxy idazoxan) (10 mg kg-1, i.p.) and efaroxan (10 mg kg-1, i.p.), markedly increased (45%) GFAP immunoreactivity in the rat cerebral cortex. Chronic treatment (7 days) with yohimbine (10 mg kg-1, i.p.), a non-imidazoline alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist, did not significantly modify GFAP immunoreactivity in the cerebral cortex. 3. Chronic treatment (7 days) with cirazoline and idazoxan did not alter the density of brain monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B sites labelled by [3H]-Ro 19-6327 (lazabemide), another relevant astroglial marker. Moreover, these imidazoline drug treatments did not modify the levels of alpha-tubulin in the cerebral cortex. These negative results reinforced the specificity of the effects of imidazoline drugs on GFAP. 4. Irreversible inactivation of brain alpha 2-adrenoceptors (and other neurotransmitters receptors) after treatment with an optimal dose of the peptide-coupling agent EEDQ (1.6 mg kg-1, i.p., for 6-24 h) did not alter GFAP immunoreactivity in the cerebral cortex. These results further disproved the involvement of these receptors on astroglial cells in the tonic control of GFAP levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

1 The effect of reboxetine, a novel antidepressant drug that potently and selectively inhibits neuronal noradrenaline (NA) uptake, on brain extracellular monoamines was studied by microdialysis. 2 Fifteen mg kg-1 i.p. reboxetine raised extracellular NA in the frontal cortex (by 242%) and dorsal hippocampus (by 240%). 3 Idazoxan (1 mg kg-1 s.c.), given 60 min after 15 mg kg-1 reboxetine, markedly potentiated the effect on extracellular NA in the frontal cortex (by 1580%) and dorsal hippocampus (by 1360%), but had no effect by itself. 4 Twenty-four hours after the last injection of a chronic schedule (15 mg kg-1 i.p. once daily for 14 days) reboxetine had no effect on basal extracellular concentrations of NA in the dorsal hippocampus and a challenge dose of reboxetine (15 mg kg-1) raised extracellular NA similarly in rats treated chronically with reboxetine (by 353%) and saline (by 425%). 5 Ten and 20 microg kg-1 i.p. clonidine dose-dependently reduced hippocampal extracellular NA similarly in rats given chronic reboxetine (by 32% and 57%) and saline (by 42% and 56%). 6 Extracellular concentrations of dopamine and 5-HT in the striatum were similar in rats treated chronically with reboxetine and saline. A challenge dose of reboxetine (15 mg kg-1) had no effect on striatal extracellular dopamine and slightly increased striatal extracellular 5-HT to a similar extent in rats treated chronically with reboxetine (by 137%) and saline (by 142%). 7 The results suggest that combining reboxetine with an alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonist may facilitate its antidepressant activity. Repeated treatment confirmed that reboxetine is fairly selective for the noradrenergic system but provided no evidence of adaptive changes in that system that could facilitate its effect on extracellular NA.  相似文献

The sensitivity of neurones in the cingulate cortex of the rat to iontophoretically applied substance P (SP) was tested one hour after a single dose of various antidepressant drugs and also 1 day following the termination of a chronic dosing schedule (14 once daily injections) of the same agents. One hour after a single injection of desipramine (DMI), chlorimipramine (CMI), trimipramine (TMI) or zimelidine ( ZIM ) (all at 10 mg kg-1 i.p.) there was no change in the mean size of excitatory responses to SP compared to those before the injection. There was a tendency towards a decrease in the TMI group. One day following the last of 14 consecutive daily injections (10 mg kg-1 i.p.) of the above agents there was a significant increase in the size of excitatory responses to SP compared to those in rats receiving daily saline injections. However, 14 days of treatment with DMI did not alter the responses to L-glutamate. Similar chronic dosing schedules with either diazepam (5 mg kg-1) or fluphenazine (5 mg kg-1) did not affect the responses to SP. Thus chronic but not acute administration of antidepressant drugs results in an increase in the sensitivity of neurones, in the cingulate cortex of the rat, to SP.  相似文献

1. The effect of administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or 'Ecstasy') and its N-demethylated product, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) on both rectal temperature and long term neurotoxic loss of cerebral 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) has been studied in male and female Dark Agouti (DA) rats. The female metabolizes debrisoquine more slowly than the male and its use has been suggested as a model of the human debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase poor metabolizer phenotype. 2. A novel h.p.l.c. method was developed and used to measure plasma MDMA and MDA concentrations in the DA rats. 3. The hyperthermic response following MDMA was enhanced in female rats. Plasma MDMA concentrations were also 57% higher than in males 45 min post-injection, while plasma concentrations of MDA were 48% lower. 4. Plasma concentrations of MDMA and MDA in male rats were unaffected by pretreatment with proadifen (15 mg kg-1) or quinidine (60 mg kg-1), but the hyperthermic response to MDMA (10 mg kg-1, i.p.) was enhanced by quinidine pretreatment. 5. The hyperthermic response following MDA was greater in male DA rats, despite plasma drug concentrations being 40% higher in females 60 min after injection. 6. Seven days after a single dose of MDMA (10 mg kg-1, i.p.) there was a substantial loss in the concentration of 5-HT and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIA) in cortex and hippocampus. [3H]-paroxetine binding was also decreased by 27% in the cortex, indicating that the amine loss reflected a neurodegenerative change. MDMA (5 mg kg-1, i.p.) was without effect on brain 5-HT content.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

1. Power spectra (0-30 Hz) were recorded from transcortical electrodes implanted in prefrontal and sensorimotor cortex in conscious rats. For each animal, the spectra in the presence of a drug were divided by the spectra in the presence of vehicle to give a drug-related differential display of the power spectra, the profile of EEG effects. 2. The profiles of a range of antipsychotic agents of different classes were compared. Haloperidol (0.5 mg kg-1 and 1 mg kg-1 s.c., peak 8 - 12 Hz), chlorpromazine (0.5 mg kg-1, i. p., peak 8 Hz), levomepromazine (1 mg kg-1, i.p., peak 8 Hz), quetiapine (2.5 mg kg-1, s.c., peak 9 - 12 Hz), sertindole (2.5 mg kg-1, s.c., peak 6 - 14 Hz), risperidone (0.5 and 1 mg kg-1 i.p., peak 9 Hz), clozapine (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 5 mg kg-1, s.c., peak 8 Hz) and MDL100907 (0.01 mg kg-1 s.c. peak 2 Hz) synchronized the EEG, increasing the power spectra between 2 and 30 Hz, although there were marked differences between the individual profile of EEG effects for each drug. 3. In contrast, the benzamides, sulpiride (7.5 and 15 mg kg-1 i.p.), and amisulpiride (1 and 15 mg kg-1 i.p.) caused marked asynchronous changes in the EEG. Raclopride (2.5 mg kg-1 i.p.), caused an initial peak at 9 Hz, but the effects of raclopride desynchronized over a 3 h time period. 4 Modafinil and apomorphine, administered alone, decreased the power spectra at frequencies higher than 4. Hz. Modafinil (62.4 mg kg-1, i.p.) selectively antagonized the effects of clozapine, but did not antagonize the effects of raclopride. 5. Different pharmacological classes of antipsychotic show synchronization or desynchronization of the EEG in the prefrontal cortex, with the benzamides showing a distinctive spectrum. There appears to be a specific interaction between modafinil and clozapine. Thus, modulation of prefrontal cortical function, perhaps by thalamic gating, may be important for antipsychotic activity.  相似文献

The effects of naloxone on acetylcholine (ACh) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) outflow from the cerebral cortex of freely moving, morphine-dependent guinea-pigs was studied. The cortical efflux of ACh in chronically-treated guinea-pigs was about half of that of normal animals. GABA efflux was unaffected. During opioid withdrawal precipitated by naloxone (0.1-10 mg kg-1, i.p.) the guinea-pigs showed jumping, hyperactivity and wet dog shakes, the intensity of which was directly related to the dose of naloxone. The withdrawal syndrome was accompanied by a dose-dependent increase in ACh release and reduction in GABA outflow; ACh release was increased by naloxone at doses lower (0.1-3 mg kg-1) than those acting on GABA efflux (1-10 mg kg-1). Atropine (10 mg kg-1) and diazepam (5 mg kg-1) did not prevent GABA and ACh changes.  相似文献

Buspirone, MJ-13805 and MJ-13653 did not produce a '5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) syndrome' in rats at doses up to 20 mg kg-1. These drugs were very weak 5-HT uptake blockers (IC50 much greater than 10 microM) compared to drugs such as chlorimipramine. These drugs did not inhibit either monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A or MAO-B. The Ki values for these agents as inhibitors of [3H]-5-HT and [3H]-ketanserin binding to rat frontal cortex or hippocampal membranes were in the microM range, well above the brain concentrations achieved after an oral dose of 25 mg kg-1. Parenterally administered buspirone blocked apomorphine-induced stereotypy, inhibited the 5-HT syndrome elicited by 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, and delayed the onset of p-chloroamphetamine induced behaviours.  相似文献
