    Notes: Summary The injection of (−)3-PPP into the nucleus accumbens, 10 μg/side, produced a suppression of exploratory locomotor activity without affecting treadmill locomotion. Furthermore, the suppression of exploratory locomotor activity produced by (−)3-PPP was antagonized by the administration of haloperidol, 25–50 μg/kg i.p.

    Notes: Summary In the present report we have investigated the effects of apomorphine, (−)3-PPP,L-DOPA and haloperidol on the elicitation of convulsions induced in mice by exposure to oxygen at high pressure (HBO) (5 ata O2). It was found that the administration of apomorphine (0.025–0.1 mg · kg−1 s. c.), (−)3-PPP (4 mg · kg−1 i. p.)L-DOPA (200–400 mg · kg−1 i. p.) as well as halo-peridol (0.25–2.0 mg · kg−1 i. p.) produced a significant protection against HBO-induced convulsions. Haloperidol was the only drug to produce a dose-dependent decrease in respiration, and this effect does probably explain the anticonvulsant effects observed. The low doses at which apomorphine was effective, and the effects produced by (−)3-PPP, indicate an effect mediated via DA autoreceptors. Alternatively, and more likely taking the effects ofL-DOPA into account, the DA receptors involved are sensitive enough to disclose postsynaptic agonist properties of apomorphine and (−)3-PPP at the doses employed.

    Notes: Summary 5-HT (10 and 40 Μg) and 8-OH-DPAT (1 and 5 Μg) were locally applied into the dorsal or median raphe nuclei in awake, unrestrained, rats. All animals were also treated with the 5-HTP and DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor NSD-1015, 100mg kg−1 SC, 30 min before decapitation. 5-HT or 8-OH-DPAT were administered 5 min before NSD-1015. The regional brain in vivo rate of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylase activity was estimated by measuring the accumulation of DOPA and 5-HTP. The following brain regions were sampled: neocortex, hippocampus, dorso-lateral neostriatum, ventro-medial neostriatum, nucleus accumbens, olfactory tubercle, globus pallidus, septum and the amygdala. Compared to normal controls, there were small and inconsistent effects on forebrain 5-HTP accumulation by saline injections into the dorsal or the median raphe (an increase in 3 out of 36 experiments), whereas strong effects by the injection procedure were noted on forebrain DOPA accumulation (an increase in 15 out of 36 experiments). Injections of 5-HT (same effect by 10 or 40 Μg) into the dorsal raphe, produced a decrease in 5-HTP accumulation in all forebrain areas except for the hippocampus and the septum, whereas no effects were seen in any area after median raphe injections. In contrast, 8-OH-DPAT preferentially produced a decrease in forebrain 5-HTP accumulation after median raphe injections and less, but statistically significant effects by dorsal raphe injections. The 8-OH-DPAT injection into the median raphe primarily affected limbic forebrain areas (hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, ventro-medial neostriatum, amygdala and the septum). This dissociation of the effects of 5-HT and 8-OH-DPAT on forebrain 5-HT synthesis after local application into the dorsal or the median raphe strongly supports the contention of heterogeniety in the brain 5-HT receptor population in terms of receptor subtypes and/or receptor regulation.

    Notes: Summary Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated for 3 weeks with (−)3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-n-propylpiperidine (3-PPP). Twenty-four hours, but not 72 hours, after withdrawal of the treatment there was an increase in locomotor activity in comparison with saline treated controls. At the same time there was a decrease in striatal DOPAC and HVA and an increased locomotor activity response to apomorphine, indicating supersensitive dopamine receptors. There was no evidence for behavioral tolerance since the suppression of locomotor activity after an acute dose of (−)3-PPP was the same in (−)3-PPP-pretreated as in saline-treated controls. Plasma levels of (-)3-PPP in these animals were, however, slightly decreased.

    Notes: Abstract The administration of (-)3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-n-propylpiperidine (3-PPP) was found to partially, but significantly, suppress the acquisition (4–8 mg/kg IP) and performance (8–16 mg/kg IP) of a conditioned avoidance response (CAR) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. All statistically significant effects were observed within 2 h of injection. Furthermore, using a situation in which the CAR was dependent on a visual successive discrimination, it was shown that discriminative performance was unaffected, and that (-)3-PPP (12.5–25 mg/kg IP) but not (+)3-PPP, suppressed the CAR. When (-)3-PPP (6.25 mg/kg IP) was combined with haloperidol (0.1–0.4 mg/kg IP), additive effects on the CAR performance were observed. Considering these effects, and the doses of (-)3-PPP required to suppress the CAR performance, it is concluded that the effects obtained in the present experiments are primarily due to a blockade of postsynaptic DA receptors.
