    Notes: Abstract Ten euthymic manic-depressive patients with therapeutic plasma lithium levels were each given two i.v. infusions of 30 mg of methylphenidate. The infusions were separated by at least 3 days. Before one infusion each patient was given 5 mg of haloperidol i.v. and before the other infusion each was given an identical volume of saline. A psychiatric observer was blind to the nature of the pretreatment and the order of pretreatment was randomized. Saline pretreated patients showed marked activation and euphoriant responses despite therapeutic lithium levels. Haloperidol pretreatment reduced this response in three patients and eliminated the euphoriant and activating response in the remaining seven patients. These results agree with the existence of a dopaminergic step in the induction of methylphenidate-induced activation and euphoria.

    Notes: Abstract Administration of epinephrine in man has been shown previously to lead to a rise in plasma cyclic AMP levels by activation of the β-adrenergic-stimulated adenylate cyclase. Therapeutic doses of lithium in humans block the epinephrine-induced rise in plasma cyclic AMP levels, suggesting that lithium inhibits β-adrenergic adenylate cyclase. In contrast, ten subjects receiving haloperidol, a drug also effective in the treatment of mania, show a mean rise in plasma cyclic AMP levels after epinephrine administration and the magnitude of the response is the same as for non-drug treated individuals. These findings are discussed in relation to the possible pharmacological mechanisms of action of lithium and haloperidol in the control of mania.

    Notes: Summary 1. The calcium-dependent K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine from guinea pig cerebral cortical vesicular preparations is inhibited by norepinephrine, clonidine, and epinephrine. Isoproterenol has no effect and phentolamine prevents the inhibition by norepinephrine. The results indicate that anα-adrenergic receptor mediates an inhibitory input to the calcium-dependent release process. The inhibition by norepinephrine is prevented by high concentrations (3.0 mM) of calcium ions. 2. A cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, ZK 62771, slightly elevates [3H]cyclic AMP levels in the guinea pig cerebral cortical preparation and potentiates the marked elevation of [3H]cyclic AMP elicited by the adenylate cyclase activator, forskolin. 3. Neither ZK 62771 nor forskolin alone has significant effects on K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine from the cerebral cortical vesicular preparation; however, a combination of ZK 62771 and forskolin inhibits K+-evoked release by as much as 60%. The inhibition is reversed by high concentrations (2.0 mM) of calcium ions. The results suggest that a marked accumulation of cyclic AMP elicited via both activation of adenylate cyclase and inhibition of phosphodiesterase can be inhibitory to neurotransmitter release from central synaptic terminals.
