Anticonvulsant action of 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid in the substantia nigra. 1984

G De Sarro, and B S Meldrum, and C Reavill

Focal injection of 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid in the substantia nigra, pars reticulata or pars compacta, in rats produces a dose-dependent suppression of the tonic extensor seizure component in the electroshock test. Haloperidol pretreatment prevents stereotyped behaviour induced by 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid, but does not change the effect on the electroshock test. This anticonvulsant effect of 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid probably results from an antagonist action at a receptor site sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate leading to a decrease in activity in nigral efferent systems.

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
