One major mechanism underlying the central action of neurotensin is an interaction with the function of dopamine (DA)-containing neurons. In addition, direct or indirect DA agonists have been reported to promote neurotensin release. We have found that SR 48692, a non-peptide neurotensin receptor antagonist (0.04-0.64 mg/kg orally), antagonizes (50-65%) yawning induced by apomorphine (0.07 mg/kg SC) or bromocriptine (2 mg/kg IP) in rats, and turning behaviour induced by intrastriatal injection of apomorphine (0.25 micrograms), (+) SKF 38393 (0.1 micrograms), bromocriptine (0.01 ng) or (+) amphetamine (10 micrograms) in mice. Other apomorphine-induced effects in mice and rats such as climbing, hypothermia, hypo- and hyper-locomotion, penile erections and stereotypies were not significantly modified by SR 48692. Taken together, these data suggest that neurotensin may play a permissive role in the expression of some but not all behavioural responses to DA receptor stimulation.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
