- Abstract
The effects of chlorpromazine, pipotiazine, haloperidol, domperidone, sulpiride and SCH 23390 on the potassium-evoked release of [3H]acetylcholine [( 3H]ACh) were studied in rat striatal slices. All 5 dopamine (DA) antagonists with D-2 blockade efficacy induced an increase of [3H]ACh release whereas the specific D-1 antagonist SCH 23390 was devoid of significant effects. The maximal effect (about 100% increase) was obtained with haloperidol, pipotiazine and sulpiride but not with domperidone and chlorpromazine. Interestingly, sulpiride was found to exert an unexpected marked potency. The comparison of the activities of the 6 compounds on evoked ACh release to their affinities for D-2 receptors [( 3H]N-propylnorapomorphine binding sites) indicates that the pharmacological profile of the dopamine receptor implicated in the regulation of ACh release cannot be superimposed on that of the classical D-2 receptor. Participation of DA presynaptic receptors could however explain the differences in efficacy observed with the compounds studied.
