Our previous studies have demonstrated that, using membranes of guinea pig brain, [3H]1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine ([3H]TCP) labels not only the phencyclidine binding site associated with the NMDA receptor (PCP site 1), but also a second high affinity binding site which is associated with the biogenic amine reuptake carrier (termed PCP site 2). To test this hypothesis, the binding of [3H]GBR12935 to the dopamine transporter, and [3H]TCP binding to PCP sites 1 and 2 were measured in caudates harvested from control, MPTP-treated and reserpine-treated dogs. MPTP treatment decreased dopamine levels by over 99%, decreased [3H]GBR12935 binding by over 90%, decreased [3H]TCP binding to PCP site 2 by about 50%, and had no significant effect on [3H]TCP binding to PCP site 1. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that a portion of PCP site 2 is associated with dopaminergic nerve terminals in dog caudate.

The effect of the ADP receptor antagonists ATP and adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-methylene)triphosphate (AMP-PCP), and the ADP-utilizing enzyme systems creatine phosphokinase/creatine phosphate (CPK/CP) and pyruvate kinase/phosphoenol pyruvate (PK/PEP) on platelet deposition onto type I collagen was examined. An in vitro perfusion system was used, which allowed continuous visualization of the deposition of fluorescently labelled platelets. This system also provide well-controlled rheology, precise quantification of deposition, and allowed the use of heparinized whole human blood (3 u/ml). Heparinization at this level permits the local generation of thrombin near surface platelet aggregates. The contribution of ADP is thus studied with the combined effects of thrombin, thromboxane A2, and other aggregating agents present. Results from these studies indicate that ATP was capable of inhibiting deposition by 60% at 1 microM and 90% at 5 microM (whole blood conc.). AMP-PCP inhibited deposition in a dose dependent manner with a Ki of approximately 80 microM and a maximum inhibition of 60%. Inhibition by CPK/CP was measured at 20, 40, and 60 u/ml, with approximately 45% inhibition achieved for the latter two concentrations. PK/PEP at 60 u/ml resulted in 70% inhibition. These results support a role for ADP in mediating platelet recruitment in thrombus growth on collagen. Previous work utilizing animal bleeding times supports this conclusion; the present study demonstrates that this role is not dependent upon endothelial or vasoconstrictive effects. Intraplatelet cAMP levels were raised with respect to controls upon exposure to ATP at 8.3 microM (p less than 0.025), and 15 microM (p less than 0.005), as well as AMP-PCP at 42-500 microM (p less than 0.005).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The ion channel probe phencyclidine [1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine; PCP] selectively inhibited aggregation, secretion and ultrastructural changes in platelets induced by adrenaline, but did not affect activation induced by other common platelet agonists such as alpha-thrombin, ADP, collagen or ionophore A23187. [3H]PCP bound to platelets with high affinity (Kd 134 +/- 33 nM; 3600 +/- 1020 sites/platelet), as did the thienyl analogue [3H]TCP (1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine). PCP binding to platelets was increased 3-4-fold in N-methylglucamine buffer in the absence of Na+ ions. Binding was unaffected by haloperidol and was only weakly inhibited (EC50 10-20 microM), without significant stereoselectivity by the two sets of stereoselective ligands, dexoxadrol/levoxadrol and (+)MK801/(-)MK801. Binding of PCP was not competed for by adrenaline or yohimbine. Only the high-affinity binding of [3H]PCP to platelets was blocked by prior treatment of the platelets with the covalent affinity probe Metaphit, and these platelets no longer aggregated in response to adrenaline although they responded normally to alpha-thrombin, ADP and collagen. These results suggest that platelets contain high-affinity receptors for PCP that can modulate adrenaline-induced platelet activation.

The optical antipodes of N-allyl-N-normetazocine (2; SKF 10047, NANM) were the original compounds used for the classification of the sigma receptor as distinct from other receptors such as the PCP (NMDA), opioid, and dopamine receptors. Later studies showed that (+)-N-(dimethylallyl)-N-normetazocine [(+)-4, (+)-pentazocine] was more potent and selective for the sigma receptor. In order to gain additional structure-activity relationship information, several N-substituted N-normetazocine analogs were prepared and evaluated for their sigma-1 ([3H]-(+)-3-PPP or [3H]-(+)-pentazocine), PCP ([3H]TCP), and mu opioid ([3H]DAMGO) receptor binding affinities. (+)-N-Benzyl-N-normetazocine [(+)-10)] possessed subnanomolar affinities for the sigma site, Ki = 0.67. The analog (+)-10 showed greater than 14,000- and 2400-fold selectivity, respectively, for the sigma receptor relative to the PCP and mu opioid receptors. The N-substituted N-normetazocines were enantioselective for the sigma site. The (+)-N-benzyl analog, (+)-10, showed a 55-fold selectivity relative to (-)-10. Analysis of the data also revealed that (+)-normetazocine [(+)-1] [Ki = 30 nM] possessed the highest affinity for the PCP receptor. However, (+)-metazocine [(+)-5] (Ki = 41 nM) was the most selective compound for the PCP receptor relative to the sigma (51-fold) and mu opioid (greater than 200-fold) sites.

We have shown previously that cultured human lung cancer cells of different histologic types express multiple opioid receptors that can regulate their growth. In this report, we show that these cells also express specific, saturable, and high-affinity binding sites (Kd approximately 1 nM) for the non-opioid phencyclidine (PCP), [(+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,b]cyclohepten-5,10-imine hydrogen maleate] (MK-801) and sigma N-allylnormetazocine (SKF-10,047) receptor ligands. Characterization of these binding sites showed them to be protein in nature and sensitive to the guanine nucleotide GTP. Pharmacological studies showed that (+) MK-801 and (+) SKF-10,047 competed with each other for their binding sites and also for the methadone binding site present in these cells. However, the mu and delta opioid ligands did not compete for (+) MK-801 and (+) SKF-10,047 binding sites. In addition, these binding sites on lung cancer cells appear to be distinct from the N-methyl D-aspartate/PCP receptor ionophore complex reported to be present in rat brain. MK-801 and SKF-10,047, at nM concentrations, were found to inhibit the growth of these cells in culture within a few hours of exposure, and this effect was irreversible after 24 h. The growth effects of these ligands could not be reversed by the opioid antagonist naloxone, suggesting involvement of nonopioid type receptors in the actions of these ligands. The abundant expression of biologically active MK-801 and SKF-10 047 binding sites in these cell lines, distinct from those in rat brain, suggests that these cell lines may prove to be a valuable source for further characterization and purification of these binding sites.

Two human rotavirus strains, PCP 5 and MZ 58, which possessed an unusual combination of subgroup (I), serotype (3) and RNA pattern (long) were examined by RNA-RNA hybridization to determine their genogroup. While these two strains did not belong to either the Wa or the DS-1 genogroup, PCP 5 and MZ 58 possessed seven gene segments that formed hybrids with bovine rotavirus strain NCDV and four gene segments that formed hybrids with human rotavirus strain AU-1. These results suggest that PCP 5 and MZ 58 were intergenogroup reassortants formed in nature between a member of the bovine rotavirus genogroup and a member of the AU-1 genogroup.

We have investigated the ability of an array of putative noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists to suppress convulsions induced by a unilateral, focal injection of (-)-bicuculline methiodide (118 pmol) into the rat prepiriform cortex. The anticonvulsant potency of these compounds, (+)-5-methyl-10,11- dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine hydrogen maleate (MK-801) greater than dextrorphan greater than or equal to 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine hydrochloride (PCP) greater than dextromethorphan greater than (+)-pentazocine, upon microinjection into the prepiriform cortex, was highly correlated (r = 0.971; P less than 0.01) with their respective affinities for the [3H]dextrorphan-labelled NMDA receptors in rat forebrain membranes. These results suggest that noncompetitive antagonism of NMDA receptors underlies the anticonvulsant action of these compounds.

DNA in macro- and micronuclei of Tetrahymena pyriformis treated with linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) and sodium pentachlorophenate (PCP-Na) were determined by microspectrophotometry. The effects on rate of formation of macronuclear DNA extrusion bodies were also studied. We found DNA content of micronuclei in 0.14 ppm LAS and 0.9 ppb PCP-Na was lower than in that of the control, and LAS was able to increase the formation rate of macronuclear DNA extrusion bodies (the formation rate was 54% in 11.3 ppm LAS and 25.6% in 16.7 ppm dichromate). We concluded that 0.14 ppm LAS (below the maximum acceptable toxicant concentration) was genotoxic, whereas 0.014 ppm LAS was not. Dichromate 0.05 ppm and 0.9 ppb PCP-Na, equal to and below the maximum acceptable toxicant concentration, respectively, were potentially genotoxic.

The effects of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC) in combination with phencyclidine (PCP) or ethanol were examined in rats responding under a fixed-consecutive-number schedule of food presentation. Under this schedule, a minimum of 13 consecutive responses on one lever followed by one response on another lever produced food. When administered alone, PCP (0.1-10.0 mg/kg) and delta 9-THC (0.1-5.6 mg/kg), but not ethanol (0.3-1.7 g/kg), decreased accuracy. PCP, delta 9-THC, and ethanol alone all produced dose-dependent decreases in rate of responding. A dose-effect curve for PCP or ethanol was then redetermined in combination with selected doses of delta 9-THC (0.125-1.75 mg/kg) and the data were analyzed according to the effect-addition and dose-addition models of additivity. When administered in combination, delta 9-THC produced dose-dependent leftward shifts in the PCP dose-effect curves for both accuracy and rate of responding. The interactions for PCP + delta 9-THC combinations were effect-additive for accuracy. In contrast, the type of interaction obtained for PCP + delta 9-THC combinations on rate of responding depended upon the particular doses combined, as well as on the model used to analyze the interactions. According to the effect-addition model, these interactions were additive at low doses of delta 9-THC and supraadditive at the highest dose. However, according to the dose-addition model the interactions at the higher doses of delta 9-THC were infraadditive. Delta 9-THC also shifted the ethanol dose-effect curve for rate of responding to the left but did not alter the ethanol dose-effect curve for accuracy. The interactions for ethanol + delta 9-THC combinations were effect-additive for accuracy and both effect- and dose-additive for rate of responding. The present investigation clearly illustrates the importance of examining an extensive range of dose combinations on different behavioral measures, as well as the use of appropriate analyses in studies designed to evaluate the interactions between drugs.

An atypical antipsychotic drug clozapine and a selective sigma antagonist BMY 14802 were significantly less effective in the behavioural experiments (against apomorphine, d-amphetamine and MK-801), as well in the radioligand binding studies against 3H-spiperone (dopamine2-receptors) and 3H-haloperidol (sigma receptors) in the rat brain, as compared to a typical antipsychotic compound haloperidol. Contrary to haloperidol and BMY 14802, clozapine was a relatively selective antagonist of MK-801-induced motor excitation in the mouse. A nearly 3-fold lower dose of clozapine was needed to block the effect of MK-801 (6.4 mumol/kg) as compared to the action of amphetamine (17 mumol/kg). Haloperidol and clozapine, but not BMY 14802, antagonized apomorphine-induced aggressiveness in the rat. After long-term treatment (for 15 days) with BMY 14802 (10 mg/kg daily), haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg daily) and clozapine (10 mg/kg daily) the motor depressant effect of apomorphine (0.15 mg/kg) was reversed. Chronic haloperidol treatment, but not administration of BMY 14802 and clozapine, increased the number of dopamine2-receptors in the rat brain. BMY 14802 caused upregulation of sigma receptors in frontal cortex, whereas haloperidol induced the opposite change in cerebellum. Repeated treatment with clozapine significantly augmented the motor stimulating effect of MK-801 in rats. Simultaneously with a behavioural change the density of 3H-TCP binding sites in the rat forebrain was elevated after long-term treatment with clozapine, probably indicating the involvement of PCP binding sites at NMDA channel in the action of clozapine.
