    Notes: Abstract Cholinergic neurotransmission has been implicated in various forms of neural plasticity such as kindling and learning. We have previously shown that blockade of muscarinic cholinergic receptors prevents the development of locomotor sensitization to methamphetamine. The present study was conducted to examine whether scopolamine, a muscarinic cholinergic antagonist, would also block augmentation of stereotypy induced by chronic methamphetamine (MA) treatment. Rats treated with MA (2.5 mg/kg, SC) for 10 days indicated significantly enhanced stereotyped behavior when tested with MA (2.5 mg/kg) after a 7-to 8- day withdrawal. Pretreatment with scopolamine (3 mg/kg) prior to MA administration prevented the augmentation of stereotypy. Rats treated with scopolamine alone showed no difference in MA-induced stereotypy compared to those treated with saline. Scopolamine methylbromide, a derivative of scopolamine that does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, had no effect on the augmentation of stereotypy. These results suggest that stimulation of central muscarinic cholinergic receptors plays a role in the development of sensitization to the stereotypy stimulating effect of methamphetamine.

    Notes: Summary We examined effects of nitric oxide (NO·) synthesis inhibition on methamphetamine (MA)-induced dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotoxicity. The toxic dose of MA (5 mg/kg, sc, X4) significantly decreased contents of dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the striatum (ST), and significantly decreased contents of serotonin (5-HT) in the ST, nucleus accumbens (NA) and medial frontal contex (MFC). Coadministration with a NO· synthase inhibitor, Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (LNAME) (30 mg/kg, ip, X2), reduced the MA-induced decreases in contents of DA, DOPAC and HVA in the ST, but not reduced the MA-induced decreases in contents of 5-HT in the ST, NA and MFC. These findings suggest that the MA-induced dopaminergic, but not serotonergic neurotoxicity, may be related to the neural process such as NO· formation caused by the activation of postsynaptic DA receptor.

    Notes: Abstract A computer simulation, based on the Khachaturyan diffusion equation, is presented to develop the kinetics of the morphological evolution of the A2/B2 second-order phase transition in a binary solid solution. The evolution of the occupation probability, as a function of composition, shows a good similarity to the actual micrographs experimentally obtained based on the macroscopic composition gradient method. These results are used in parallel with the results of the evolution of the long-range order parameter as a function of the ageing time, to verify a new concept of the ordering behaviour inside the ordered phase.

    Notes: Summary. In vivo occupation of dopamine D1, D2 and serotonin (5-HT)2A receptors by a novel antipsychotic drug, SM-9018 (perospirone hydrochloride; cis-N-[4-[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboximide monohydrochloride) and its major metabolite (ID-15036; N-[4-[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]butyl]-1-hydroxy-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboximide) was measured in rat brain using N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ), an irreversible antagonist, at these receptor sites. SM-9018 and its metabolite, ID-15036, dose-dependently reversed EEDQ-induced 5-HT2A and D2 receptor inactivation, but not D1 receptor inactivation. At lower doses (0.1 mg/kg i.p.), SM-9018 showed a preferential occupation of the 5-HT2A receptors, with only a small effect on the D2 receptors; while at higher doses (1.0 and 5.0 mg/kg i.p.), it was nearly equipotent in its occupation of both the D2 (77.8%) and the 5-HT2A receptors (78.6%). On the other hand, ID-15036 was more potent in occupying the 5-HT2A than the D2 receptors even at higher doses (1.0 and 5.0 mg/kg i.p.). We previously reported that atypical antipsychotic drugs, such as clozapine, were characterized by a high occupancy of the 5-HT2A receptors, with a low or minimum occupancy of the D2 receptors in vivo. The present study suggests that SM-9018 and its metabolite ID-15036 show a preferential tendency to occupy 5-HT2A receptors, and that the clozapine-like atypical properties of SM-9018 may be due to some pharmacological action of both the SM-9018 itself and its metabolite, ID-15063.

    Notes: Summary We examined the characteristics of [3H]clozapine binding sites in four rat brain regions (frontal cortex, limbic area, hippocampus and striatum) in order to elucidate the pharmacological profile of this unique atypical antipsychotic drug. The specific [3H]clozapine binding was found to be saturable and reversible in all these brain regions. Scatchard analysis of the saturation data indicated that the specific binding consisted of high- and low-affinity components. Displacement experiments showed that the muscarinic cholinergic receptor represented about 50% of [3H]clozapine binding in each brain area. Serotonin 5-HT2 and dopamine D4 receptor binding sites could also be detected by displacement experiments using ketanserin and nemonapride, respectively, in frontal cortex and limbic area, but not in hippocampus or striatum. Alpha-1, alpha-2, histamine H1, dopamine D1, D2, or D3 receptor components could not be determined within the high-affinity [3H]clozapine binding sites in any brain region. It is possible that the atypical property of clozapine may depend on the modulatory effect on dopaminergic function via 5-HT2 receptor blockade and/or may be mediated via D4 receptor blockade in the mesocortical and mesolimbic area.

    Notes: Summary We examined the effects of long-term treatment with haloperidol and clozapine on dopamine D4 receptors in rat frontal cortex. Dopamine D4 receptor binding sites were indirectly determined from the displacement experiments of [3H]clozapine binding using nemonapride. Three-weeks administration of haloperidol (0.5mg/kg) or clozapine (10mg/kg) did not significantly affect the D4 receptors in the frontal cortex. The density of D2 receptors, determined by [3H]spiperone binding to striatum, was increased by long-term treatment with haloperidol, but it was not significantly changed by that with clozapine.
