    Notes: Abstract: In rodents, SR 95191 [3-(2-morpholinoethylamino)-4-cyano-6-phenylpyridazine] has been shown to be active in animal models of depression. The profile of activity of SR 95191 suggests that the compound is a selective and short-acting type A monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (MAOI) in vivo. In the present study, the interaction of SR 95191 with MAO-A and MAO-B activity was further examined in vivo and in vitro. In brain, liver, and duodenum of pretreated rats, SR 95191 selectively inhibited MAO-A (ED50= 3–5 mg/kg, p.o.), whereas MAO-B was only weakly inhibited for doses as high as 300 mg/kg, p.o. In vivo, SR 95191 (1–100 mg/kg, p.o.) antagonized, in a dose-dependent fashion, the irreversible inhibition of brain and liver MAO-A induced by phenelzine. Finally, dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine depleted from their striatal stores by tetrabenazine were able to displace SR 95191 from the active site of MAO-A. However, ex vivo, kinetic studies showed that the inhibitory effect of SR 95191 (1–10 mg/kg) towards MAO-A was noncompetitive and was unchanged after dilution or dialysis. In vitro, the inhibition of brain MAO-A, but not MAO-B, by SR 95191 was time dependent, with a 19-fold decrease in the IC50 values being observed over a 30-min incubation period (140 to 7.5 μM). At this time, the SR 95191 -induced inhibition of MAO-A was not removed by repeated washings. When the reaction was started by adding the homogenate without prior preincubation with SR 95191, the inhibition of brain MAO-A was fully competitive (Ki= 68 μM). It is concluded that SR 95191 is a selective and reversible type A MAOI in vivo but not in vitro.

    Notes: Summary The behavioural effects of CM 30366, an aminopyridazine derivative, on dopamine-mediated neurotransmissions, have been studied in mice and rats. CM 30366 induced stereotyped behaviour and antagonized haloperidol-induced catalepsy in rats, after parenteral and oral administration. In 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned mice, CM 30366 induced contralateral rotations and, when injected before 6-OHDA, protected mice against its neurotoxicity. CM 30366 also provoked contralateral rotations when injected directly into the mouse right striatum. After parenteral injection, CM 30366 slightly increased motility in mice, at least at low doses. The stereotypies and rotations (after intrastriatal injection) induced by CM 30366 were antagonized by haloperidol, alphamethyl-p-tyrosine and reserpine. The effects of CM 30366 were compared to those of direct and indirect dopamine-like drugs. Bromocriptine induced a behavioural profile, which in most aspects, was qualitatively and quantitatively similar to that of CM 30366. Apomorphine was found slightly more potent than CM 30366, but in contrast to the latter, apomorphine-induced stereotypies were insensitive to alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine or reserpine. (+)-Amphetamine and nomifensine were less potent than CM 30366, and unlike CM 30366, induced ipsilateral rotations in 6-OHDA-lesioned mice. These results indicate that CM 30366 is a potent atypical dopamine-like drug of potential therapeutic usefulness.

    Notes: Abstract The cholinergic activities of SR 46559A, 3-[N-(2 diethyl-amino-2-methylpropyl)-6-phenyl-5-propyl] pyridazinamine sesquifumarate, have been investigated in vitro and in vivo, in rodents. Using rat brain cortical membranes, SR 46559A was a competitive ligand (Ki=112 nM) at muscarinic M1 receptors, its affinity for muscarinic M2 (cardiac) and M3 (glandular) receptors being 6–7 times lower. SR 46559A did not interact with brain nicotinic receptors and high affinity choline uptake sites nor did it inhibit brain acetylcholinesterase activity. In contrast to reference muscarinic agonists, SR 46559A (1 mM) did not inhibit the forskolin-induced activation of cAMP synthesis nor did it stimulate phosphoinositides breakdown in various brain preparations. However, this compound enhanced (+67% at 1 mM) diacylglycerol formation in rat striatal miniprisms, an effect fully reversed by atropine. As shown with reference agonists, SR 46559A inhibited (IC50=10 µM) the K+-evoked release of [3H]GABA from rat striatal slices and reduced at 0.5 and 1 µM, the population spike amplitude of the CA1 pyramidal cells induced by stimulation of the Schaffer's collateral commissural pathway in rat hippocampal slices. In mice, SR 46559A at a near lethal dose (200 mg/kg PO) did not induce the typical cholinergic syndrome nor did it modify at 30 mg/kg PO the oxotremorine-induced hypothermia. Like muscarinic agonists, SR 46559A (1 mg/kg PO) potentiated haloperidol-induced catalepsy in rats and inhibited (ED50=0.12 mg/kg PO) rotations induced in mice by intrastriatal injection of pirenzepine. SR 46559A prevented the scopolamine- or pirenzepine-induced deficit in passive avoidance learning, this compound being 3 times more potent on pirenzepine-induced amnesia. Moreover, using the social memory test, SR 46559A (0.1–3 mg/kg PO) enhanced short-term retention in adult rats and improved memory deficits observed in aged mice and in rats subjected to cerebral ischeamic insult. SR 46559A (1–3 mg/kg PO) also reversed the ischaemia-induced alterations of rats exploratory behaviour. Taken together, these results suggest that SR 46559A behaves as an atypical muscarinic compound which, at least in part, could stimulate muscarinic receptors coupled to phosphatidylcholine/phospholipases C or D signalling pathways. This drug has a marked ability to improve experimentally induced cognitive deficits in rodents without producing cholinergic symptomatology. Thus, SR 46559A could be a potential useful drug for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

    Notes: Summary The cholinomimetic activities of the antidepressant drug minaprine have been investigated, in vitro and in vivo, in rodents. Minaprine, and its metabolite SR 95070B [3-(2-morphohnoethylamino)-4-methyl-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl) pyridazine hydrochloride] selectively displaced [3H]-pirenzepine from its cortical and hippocampal binding sites, and only weakly inhibited the binding of [3H]-N-methylscopolamine in either the rat cerebellum, heart and salivary glands, or the guinea-pig ileum. In mice, none of these drugs induced the typical cholinergic side-effects up to lethal doses. Minaprine and SR 95070B antagonized rotations induced by an intrastriatal injection of pirenzepine in mice, after intraperitoneal and/or oral administration. Minaprine also antagonized atropine-induced mydriasis in mice. Both minaprine and SR 95070B potentiated the tremorigenic effect of oxotremorine without inducing tremor when injected alone. Finally, minaprine and SR 95070B, after parenteral and/or oral injection, antagonized the scopolamine-induced deficit in passive avoidance learning, and enhanced short-term retention in the social memory test, in rats. The muscarinic agonists arecoline, oxotremorine and RS 86 [2-ethyl-8-methyl-2,8 diazaspiro-4,5 decan-1,3 dion hydrobromide], as well as the acetylcholine esterase inhibitors physostigmine and tacrine were active in most of these models. These results indicate that minaprine, and its metabolite SR 95070B, have cholinomimetic activities which could be, at least in part, mediated by their selective affinity for M1 muscarinic receptors. Thus minaprine could represent a potential useful drug for the treatment of senile dementias and cognitive impairments occurring in elderly people.
