Abstract

Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) treatment of mice with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA; 20--50 micrograms per mouse), which depletes brain noradrenaline (NA) and DA, completely prevents or significantly diminishes the hypothermic effect of various classes of drugs: dopaminomimetics--apomorphine (0.5--10 mg/kg), piribedil (40--100 mg/kg), bromocriptine (3 to 10 mg/kg), CM 29-712 (2--10 mg/kg), d, l-amphetamine (1--2 mg/kg), and L-DOPA (10--100 mg/kg) in combination with Ro 4-4602 (5--40 mg/kg); cholinomimetics--oxotremorine (0.04--0.05 mg/kg), arecoline (5--10 mg/kg) and pilocarpine (2--3 mg/kg); neuroleptics--chlorpromazine, promazine, perphenazine, chlorprothixene, haloperidol, fluanisone (5--10 mg/kg); central alpha-adrenoblocker aceperone (20--40 mg/kg); inhibitor of tyrosine-hydroxylase alpha-methyltyrosine (200--300 mg/kg); inhibitor of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase--disulfiram (150--250 mg/kg) and FLA-63 (15--25 mg/kg). This antihypothermic effect was demonstrated up to 3 months after administration of 6-OHDA for DA-mimetics and neuroleptics and up to 3 weeks for cholinomimetics. The hypothermic effect of presumable GABA-mimetics Phenybut (100--150 mg/kg) and Lioresal (10--25 mg/kg) was enhanced by a prior 6-OHDA treatment. Pretre...Continue Reading
