| Abstract | 1. The ability of PD 128907 to activate dopamine receptors in the ventral tegmental area, substantia nigra pars compacta, and striatum was investigated by use of in vitro electrophysiological recording and fast cyclic voltammetry. The affinity of a novel D2 selective antagonist L-741,626 for receptors activated by this agonist was measured to determine if its effects were mediated by D2 or D3 receptors. 2. The active (+) enantiomer of PD 128907 bound with high affinity and selectivity to rat D3 dopamine receptors. The Ki values for (+)-PD 128907 were 620 nM at D2, 1 nM at D3 and 720 nM at D4 receptors. 3. (+)-PD 128907 inhibited cell firing in both the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra pars compacta with EC50 values of 33 nM (pEC50 = 7.48 +/- 0.10, n = 10) and 38 nM (pEC50 = 7.42 +/- 0.15, n = 5), respectively. No effects of (+)-PD 128907 (100 nM) were observed on glutamate or GABA-mediated synaptic potentials elicited by focal bipolar stimulation. 4. L-741,626 antagonized these effects of (+)-PD 128907 in a concentration-dependent and surmountable manner with an affinity, determined from Schild analysis, of 20 nM (pKB = 7.71 +/- 0.14) in the ventral tegmental area and 11 nM (pKB = 7.95 +/- 0.18) in the substantia nigra pars compacta. 5. (+)-PD 128907 also inhibited dopamine release in the caudate-putamen with an EC50 of 66 nM (n = 5). The affinity of L-741,626 for these nerve terminal autoreceptors (pKB = 7.71 +/- 0.06; = 20 nM) was identical to that observed on midbrain dopamine neurones. 6. These data demonstrate that the D3 receptor ligand (+)-PD 128907 is a potent agonist on rat midbrain dopamine neurones. However, its lack of regional selectivity, and the high affinity of the selective D2 receptor antagonist L-741,626 for receptors activated by (+)-PD 128907, was more consistent with an action on D2 autoreceptors rather than upon a D3 dopamine receptor subtype. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
