Abstract
Typical antipsychotic drugs with a high extrapyramidal motor side-effects liability markedly increase extracellular dopamine in the
caudate-putamen, while atypical antipsychotic drugs with a low incidence of extrapyramidal motor side-effects have less pronouncedstimulating actions on striatal dopamine. Therefore, it has been suggested that the extrapyramidal motor side-effects liability of antipsychoticdrugs (APD) is correlated with their ability to increase extracellular dopamine in the caudate-putamen.
The globus pallidus (GP) is another basal ganglia structure probably mediating extrapyramidal motor side-effects of typical antipsychotic
drugs. Therefore, the present study sought to determine whether extracellular dopamine in the globus pallidus might be a further indicatorto differentiate neurochemical actions of typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs. Using in vivo microdialysis we compared effects onpallidal dopamine induced by typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs in rats. Experiment I demonstrated that systemic administrationof haloperidol (1 mg/kg; i.p.) and clozapine (20 mg/kg; i.p.) induced a significant pallidal dopamine release to about 160 and 180% ofbaseline, respectively. Experiment II revealed that reverse microdialysis of raclopride and clozapine using a cumulative dosing regimen didnot stimulate extracellular dopamine in the globus pallidus if low (1 M) or intermediate (10 and 100 M) concentrations were used. Onlyat a high concentration (1000 M), raclopride and clozapine induced a significant pallidal dopamine release to about 130 and 300% ofbaseline values, respectively. Thus, effects of typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs on pallidal dopamine were similar and thus, may notbe related to their differential extrapyramidal motor side-effects liability. Furthermore, the finding that reverse microdialysis of racloprideover a wide range of concentrations did not stimulate pallidal dopamine concentrations tentatively suggests that pallidal dopamine releaseunder basal conditions is not regulated by D2 autoreceptors. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
