Comparison of effects of drugs on dopamine metabolism in the substantia nigra and the corpus striatum of rat brain
Abstract
The influence of apomorphine, chloral hydrate, haloperidol, morphine, oxotremorine, pargyline, probenecid and promethazine on DOPAC and HVA levels was studied in the substantia nigra (including the ventral tegmental dopaminergic regions) and corpus striatum of the rat brain. The time--effect curves of changes in HVA levels after pretreatment with apomorphine, haloperidol, morphine, oxotremorine or promethazine are presented. The time--effect curves for the substantia nigra showed an initial rapid HVA rise, which was not observed in the corpus striatum. Promethazine treatment caused a small but significant HVA rise in the substantia nigra only. Chloral hydrate, morphine and oxotremorine induced a similar percentage increase in DOPAC and HVA levels in the substantia nigra as well as in the corpus striatum. Haloperidol, however, caused a small percentage change in the metabolite levels in the substantia nigra when compared to the pronounced rise seen in the corpus striatum. The apomorphine-induced HVA decrease observed in both structures provides evidence for the presence of a dopaminergic receptor in the substantia nigra.
