We have previously demonstrated that neuropeptide-EI, at high doses, stimulates the production of cAMP, in caudate putamen, through the activation of adenylate cyclase coupled to specific D1 receptors. The aim of the present work was to find evidences for a probable interaction between this neuropeptide and the dopamine D1 receptor in the mammalian central nervous system. The present data show that neuropeptide-EI, at high concentrations, affected both the maximum binding and the apparent affinity of [n-methyl-3H] (R)-(+)-8 chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-3-benzazepin-7-ol hemimaleate to the dopamine D1 receptor in a concentration-dependent manner.

D003342	Corpus Striatum	Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.
