The synthesis and chemical resolution of cis- and trans-fused 8a-phenyldecahydroquinolines 3 and 4 are described together with the affinity of the four optically pure compounds for the PCP recognition site of the NMDA receptor complex. These compounds were also evaluated for their antagonistic effects on cGMP levels in male Swiss Webster mice, and (-)-4 was found to exhibit in vivo potency comparable to that of MK-801. The results of the binding studies are interpreted in terms of a preferred orientation of PCP's N-H bond in binding to its NMDA receptor-associated recognition site.

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 effects of phencyclidine (PCP) and NPC 12626 on punished responding were examined using a modified Geller-Seifter procedure in rats. Both drugs are known to antagonize N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor mediated neurotransmission, albeit at different sites on the NMDA receptor complex. Rats were trained to lever press for food reinforcement under a multiple schedule, with responding in one component reinforced under a fixed-interval 60-sec schedule, while each response in the other component resulted in both food and brief electric shock. Both PCP and NPC 12626 produced selective increases in punished responding, although the effects were not as large as those produced by chlordiazepoxide. Repeated daily administration of each of these drugs for 6 days resulted in increases in punished responding during different portions of the treatment. A 5 mg/kg dose of chlordiazepoxide produced increases over the last 2 days of administration. PCP (2 mg/kg) produced an increase only during the second session, whereas NPC 12626 (30 mg/kg) produced increases for all but the first and fifth days of the 6-day regimen. Both competitive and noncompetitive NMDA antagonists can have antipunishment effects in this model.

Rat brain cortex synaptosomes pre-incubated with [3H]norepinephrine were used (1) to provide evidence that part of the NMDA receptors mediating stimulation of norepinephrine (NE) release are located on the noradrenergic varicosities themselves, (2) to characterize these receptors and (3) to examine whether ethanol specifically inhibits the NMDA-evoked NE release via a presynaptic site of action. In synaptosomes superfused with Mg(2+)-free Krebs-Henseleit solution, NMDA (2-min exposure) stimulated tritium overflow in a concentration- and glycine-dependent manner. The stimulatory effect of NMDA was not altered by tetrodotoxin but was abolished by omission of Ca2+ from the superfusion fluid and was considerably reduced in the presence of 1.2 mM Mg2+. DL-(E)-2-Amino-4-methyl-5-phosphono-3-pentanoic acid (CGP 37849; a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist) produced a parallel shift of the concentration-response curve for NMDA to the right, whereas dizocilpine (MK-801; an antagonist at the phencyclidine, PCP, recognition site of the NMDA-gated ion channel) reduced the maximum effect of NMDA. Ethanol inhibited the NMDA-evoked tritium overflow in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, in synaptosomes superfused with Ca(2+)-free Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 15 mM K+ throughout, ethanol did not affect the tritium overflow evoked by 2 min introduction of 75 microM Ca2+ into the superfusion fluid. This Ca(2+)-evoked overflow was also not altered by tetrodotoxin and dizocilpine, but was inhibited by the inorganic Ca2+ channel antagonist Cd2+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

(+/-)-3-Carboxy-5-phosphono-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (SC-48981), a conformationally restricted analog of the potent competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoate (AP-5), potently inhibited the binding of [3H]glutamate to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors with a Ki of 1.6 mcM, but with minimal affinity for kaininate and quisqualate receptors (Ki greater than 50 mcM), in vitro. Consistent with its ability to antagonize the NMDA receptor, SC-48981 decreased the binding of [3H]glycine and [3H]TCP [1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexylpiperidine] to the NMDA-associated glycine and phencyclidine (PCP) recognition sites, in vitro. SC-48981 attenuated levels of basal cGMP and harmaline-induced increases in levels of cGMP in the mouse cerebellum, in vivo, in a competitive manner, with ED50 values of 5.5 and 8.7 mg/kg, i.p. Direct intracerebellar injection of SC-48981 (0.5 microgram) attenuated increases in levels of cGMP induced by central injection of the NMDA-associated glycine receptor agonist, D-serine and by NMDA itself. Parenteral administration of SC-48981 (25 mg/kg, s.c.) decreased basal levels of cGMP for up to 3 h. These results indicate that SC-48981 represents a novel bioavailable competitive NMDA antagonist with a long duration of action.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of ceruletide (CL), a cholecystokinin analog, on the neurochemical response to non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, phencyclidine (PCP) and MK-801, of the dopaminergic neuron systems in the discrete regions of the rat brain. Systemically administered PCP (7.5 mg/kg, i.p.) or MK-801 (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) produced significant increases in the tissue contents of dopamine metabolite, homovanillic acid (HVA), in the prefrontal cortex, the nucleus accumbens and the olfactory tubercle but not in the nucleus caudatus putamen after 60 min. The effects of NMDA receptor antagonists in the nucleus accumbens and the prefrontal cortex were partially antagonized by pretreatment with CL (80 and 400 micrograms/kg, i.p., at 60 min prior to the drugs). While CL alone decreased the dopaminergic metabolism only in the nigrostriatal pathways in naive rats, the present results indicated that CL also attenuates the activities of the meso-limbic and meso-cortical dopaminergic neuron systems when these are enhanced by either PCP or MK-801.

The binding of phencyclidine (PCP) within the channel gated by the NMDA-receptor complex can be positively or negatively modulated by compounds which facilitate or prevent the interaction of glutamate to the NMDA recognition site. In the present study extracellular recordings were used to evaluate the possibility that the negative modulation of NMDA channel function by the competitive NMDA antagonists (+/-)-CPP (3-((+/-)2-carboxypiperazin-4- yl)propyl-1-phosphonate) and CGS 19755 (cis-4-phosphonomethyl-2-piperidine carboxylate) could affect the response of A10 dopamine neurons to PCP. Pretreatment with 40 mg/kg of (+/-)-CPP or CGS 19755 completely blocked the low-dose excitatory effects of PCP, whereas 10 mg/kg of CGS 19755 produced only a partial blockade. However, neither CGS 19755 or (+/-)-CPP affected the amount of attenuation of A10 firing occurring with large doses of PCP. (+/-)-CPP and CGS 19755 pretreatment also failed to alter the morphine-induced stimulation of dopamine activity. These findings not only provide further evidence that the low-dose PCP-induced activation of A10 neurons is mediated through the NMDA-ion channel complex, but suggest that some physiological or behavioral effects evoked by PCP might be prevented by treatment with competitive NMDA receptor blockers.

The effects of chronic administration of phencyclidine (PCP) or CGS 19755 (cis-4-phosphonomethyl-2-piperidine-carboxylic acid) on the cataleptic effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists were studied in pigeons. PCP, a channel blocker of the NMDA receptor complex, or CGS 19755, a competitive NMDA antagonist, was administered i.m. to separate groups of pigeons each day. Tolerance developed to the cataleptic effects in both PCP- and CGS 19755-treated pigeons. PCP tolerance was characterized initially by 5-fold rightward shift and, with an increased chronic PCP dose, a complete downward shift of the PCP dose-effect curve. CGS 19755 tolerance was indicated by a 10-fold rightward shift of its dose-cataleptic effect curve. Cross-tolerance was obtained from PCP to other PCP-like compounds including dizocilpine (MK 801), ketamine, dextrorphan, 1-(2-thienyl)-cyclohexyl-piperidine and [(+)-SKF 10047] [(+)-N-allyl-normetazocine] as well as to the competitive NMDA antagonist, CGS 19755. Cross-tolerance also developed from CGS 19755 to another competitive NMDA antagonist, CGP 40116 [D-(E)-2-amino-4-methyl-5-phosphono-3-pentenoic acid] as well as to PCP-like compounds. The pharmacological selectivity of tolerance was evident because there was equal sensitivity to etomidate or pentobarbital in tolerant and nontolerant pigeons. The symmetric cross-tolerance between PCP-like compounds and competitive NMDA antagonists suggests the cataleptic effects of the two classes of NMDA antagonists are probably mediated via a similar mechanism of inhibition of neurotransmission at the NMDA excitatory synapse.

The non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists, PCP (phencyclidine), MK801, and ketamine produce psychosis in humans and abnormal vacuoles in posterior cingulate and retrosplenial rat cortical neurons. We show that PCP (> or = 5 mg/kg), MK801 (> or = 0.1 mg/kg), and ketamine (> 20 mg/kg) induce hsp70 mRNA and HSP70 heat shock protein in these vacuolated, injured neurons, and PCP also induces hsp70 in injured neocortical, piriform, and amygdala neurons. The PCP, MK801, and ketamine drug induced injury occurs in 30 day and older rats, but not in 0-20 day old rats, and is prevented by prior administration of the antipsychotic drugs haloperidol and rimcazole. Since haloperidol and rimcazole block dopamine and sigma receptors, and since M1 muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonists also prevent the injury produced by PCP, MK801, and ketamine, future studies will be needed to determine whether dopamine, sigma, M1, or other receptors mediate the injury.

1-Phenylcyclohexylamine (PCA) and its analogues 1-phenylcyclopentylamine (PPA) and 1-(3-fluorophenyl)cyclohexylamine (3-F-PCA) are potent anticonvulsants in the mouse maximal electroshock (MES) seizure test. Unlike the structurally related dissociative anesthetic phencyclidine (PCP), however, which produces motor toxicity at anticonvulsant doses, PCA, PPA, and 3-F-PCA protect against MES seizures at 2.2- to 3.5-fold lower doses than those that cause motor toxicity when administered intraperitoneally (i.p.). In the present study, we evaluated the oral anticonvulsant activity of PCA, PPA, and 3-F-PCA in mice; we also examined 3-F-PCA in rats. All the compounds were orally active in the mouse MES seizure test (ED50 values 14.5, 53.4, and 26.7 mg/kg, respectively). Moreover, 3-F-PCA was especially potent in rats, either when administered i.p. (ED50 0.4 mg/kg vs. 9.4 mg/kg in mice) or orally (ED50 0.8 mg/kg). Surprisingly, however, oral PPA failed to cause motor toxicity in mice even at doses that were many times higher than those that were protective in the MES test (TD50 greater than 300 mg/kg). In rats, 3-F-PCA also showed a strikingly low oral toxicity (TD50 greater than 50 mg/kg) in relation to its potency as an anticonvulsant. Like PCP, PCA analogues block N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced behavioral effects and lethality in mice. Moreover, in vitro studies indicate that the compounds act as uncompetitive antagonists of the NMDA receptor-channel complex. Therefore, their anticonvulsant activity may, at least in part, relate to an interaction with NMDA receptors.
