Optic tectum adenylate cyclase activity from goldfish (Carassius auratus) as a model to assess dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists. 1983

A De Sarro, and N De Gori, and G Urna, and A Pujia, and G Nistico'

The distribution of adenylate cyclase activity in several discrete areas of brain in the goldfish (Carassius auratus) and the responsiveness of this activity in the optic tectum to various neurotransmitters were studied. Adenylate cyclase activity was found to have an uneven distribution in the brain, the highest concentrations occurring in the telencephalon. A dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase was found in the optic tectum. The increase in cAMP formation induced by dopamine was selectively prevented by antagonists at post-synaptic dopamine receptors linked to adenylate cyclase.

D002746 Chlorpromazine The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.

D006220 Haloperidol A phenyl-piperidinyl-butyrophenone that is used primarily to treat SCHIZOPHRENIA and other PSYCHOSES. It is also used in schizoaffective disorder, DELUSIONAL DISORDERS, ballism, and TOURETTE SYNDROME (a drug of choice) and occasionally as adjunctive therapy in INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY and the chorea of HUNTINGTON DISEASE. It is a potent antiemetic and is used in the treatment of intractable HICCUPS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p279) Haldol
D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety.
