Flumezapine and zotepine: 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonism not involved in the lack of synergism of these antipsychotic drugs with amfonelic acid in rats. 1985

R W Fuller, and H D Snoddy

Two antipsychotic drugs, flumezapine and zotepine, resembled clozapine, not spiperone, in not acting synergistically with amfonelic acid to elevate striatal concentrations of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) in rats. Since flumezapine, zotepine and clozapine antagonize 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors with potency similar to their potency in antagonizing dopamine receptors, the possibility that 5-HT receptor blockade prevented their synergism with amfonelic acid was considered. Methiothepin, a potent 5-HT antagonist and dopamine antagonist, mimicked spiperone in causing a marked increase in striatal DOPAC in amfonelic acid-treated rats, indicating that 5-HT antagonism is not involved in the lack of synergism of flumezapine and zotepine with amfonelic acid.
