RU24722, as a racemic mixture, has been found to act on neuronal activity and the long-term regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase in the locus coeruleus of the rat. In this study, the effects of two enantiomeric derivatives of RU24722 (3 alpha and 16 alpha forms), as compared to the racemic form itself, are studied. The short-term effect was estimated 20 min after treatment by measuring variations in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid content in the locus coeruleus. The long-term effect was determined by evaluating tyrosine hydroxylase protein concentration in the locus coeruleus 3 days after a single injection. Comparison of actions of both enantiomers showed that the 16 alpha form was 3-fold more potent in eliciting tyrosine hydroxylase protein elevations at three days, whereas the 3 alpha isomer increased 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid content 2-fold more in the short-term. These results seem to show that the 16 alpha configuration is crucial for the long term regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase protein elicited by RU24722 within the locus coeruleus.
