The novel dopamine D4 receptor agonist (PD 168,077 maleate): doses with different effects on locomotor activity are without effect in classical conditioning.

Conditioning is normally selective to the most likely predictors of motivationally significant events and some dopamine (DA) agonists produce dysfunction in this process. Moreover, the DA D(4) receptor is implicated in normal and abnormal functions that have some dopaminergic basis (e.g., in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia). We therefore used locomotor activity to identify doses of a novel D(4) receptor agonist (PD 168,077) with contrasting behavioral effects (over the range 0.064-1 mg/kg). Doses that either did (0.064 mg/kg) or did not (0.5 mg/kg) significantly increase activity were then tested using aversive and appetitive procedures, in which conditioning was reflected in decreased and increased response rates, respectively. Associating a signal with food or foot shock is normally reduced in trace conditioning, when stimulus events are separated in time. Similarly, animals normally learn relatively little about background stimuli that do not well predict food delivery or the onset of shock. Both doses of PD 168,077 were without effect on conditioning, whether appetitive or aversive, and irrespective of how informative the predictive stimulus was. Thus, we find no evidence that the D(4) receptor has any likely effect on associative learning or its disorder. Furthermore, D(4)-mediated hyperactivity was dissociable from cognitive effects.

Fluvoxamine maleate, a serotonergic antidepressant; a comparison with chlorimipramine.

1. Fluvoxamine is a potent serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, with little or no noradrenergic or anticholinergic activity. 2. The results of three studies using an almost identical protocol with a prospectively randomized, double-blind design comparing fluvoxamine and chlorimipramine are presented. 3. In a population of 98 subjects suffering from a variety of depressive conditions, there was a marked improvement over four weeks in both groups. dosage was maintained between 150 and 300 mg per day. 4. There were no changes of clinical importance in vital signs, hematology or biochemistry, but pulse rates increased in the chlorimipramine group. 5. There were fewer concurrent signs and symptoms in the fluvoxamine group, especially those attributable to anticholinergic activity.

Effects of fluoxetine hydrochloride and fluvoxamine maleate on different preparations of isolated guinea pig and rat organ tissues.

1. Fluoxetine and fluvoxamine reinforced the response to norepinephrine of isolated rat vas deferens incubated in Krebs-Henseleit solution. 2. This reinforcement disappeared when cocaine, 17 beta-estradiol, and propranolol were added to the incubation medium. 3. Fluoxetine and fluvoxamine did not have antimuscarinic effect, but they did have antihistaminic effect, and at high concentrations they inhibited the contraction induced by potassium ion on the isolated rat uterus preparation (IC50 3.99 x 10(-6) and 1.82 x 10(-5) M, respectively).

Design and synthesis of m1-selective muscarinic agonists: (R)-(-)-(Z)-1-Azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-3-one, O-(3-(3'-methoxyphenyl)-2-propynyl)oxime maleate (CI-1017), a functionally m1-selective muscarinic agonist.

The synthesis and SAR of a series of (Z)-(+/-)-1-azabicyclo[2.2. 1]heptan-3-one, O-(3-aryl-2-propynyl)oximes are described. The biochemistry and pharmacology of 24Z (PD 142505) and its enantiomers are highlighted. 24Z is functionally an m1-selective muscarinic agonist. Efficacy and m1 selectivity reside in the R enantiomer, (R)-24Z (CI-1017).
