Intrastriatal injection of kainic acid prevents the development of postsynaptic dopamine receptor hypersensitivity after chronic haloperidol treatment. 1982

A M Zarkovsky, and A M Nurk, and L K Rägo, and L H Allikmets

Rats injected intrastriatally with kainic acid (KA), in contrast to sham-treated (control) animals, showed no tolerance toward catalepsy induced by chronic haloperidol treatment (28 days). After termination of chronic haloperidol treatment in control animals, apomorphine-induced stereotypy was significantly enhanced as compared to chronic saline-injected controls. Rats injected with kainic acid and treated with chronic haloperidol or saline showed no differences in apomorphine stereotypy. These results show that the development of tolerance and behavioural hypersensitivity after chronic neuroleptic treatment is mediated via striatal postsynaptic receptors sensitive to kainic acid lesions.

D007608 Kainic Acid (2S-(2 alpha,3 beta,4 beta))-2-Carboxy-4-(1-methylethenyl)-3-pyrrolidineacetic acid. Ascaricide obtained from the red alga Digenea simplex. It is a potent excitatory amino acid agonist at some types of excitatory amino acid receptors and has been used to discriminate among receptor types. Like many excitatory amino acid agonists it can cause neurotoxicity and has been used experimentally for that purpose. Digenic Acid,Kainate,Acid, Digenic,Acid, Kainic

D002375 Catalepsy A condition characterized by inactivity, decreased responsiveness to stimuli, and a tendency to maintain an immobile posture. The limbs tend to remain in whatever position they are placed (waxy flexibility). Catalepsy may be associated with PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS (e.g., SCHIZOPHRENIA, CATATONIC), nervous system drug toxicity, and other conditions.

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.

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
