The psychotomimetic drug 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl) piperidine (PCP, phencyclidine) was found to cause a deficit in the gating of the response of the hippocampal neuron to repeated auditory stimuli, which is similar to a particular physiological feature observed in human psychosis. Other drugs, with sigma agonist and/or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist effects, were administered and their ability to cause a loss of auditory gating was compared to that of PCP. The rank order of effectiveness was levoxodrol > PCP and (+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo(a,d)cyclohepten-5,10-imine maleate (MK-801) > N-allylnormetazocine (SKF 10047) > dexoxodrol > 3-(+/-)2-carboxypiperazine-4-yl) propyl-1-phosphonate (CPP). Further studies of two of the drugs, PCP and MK-801, showed that selective lesioning of the noradrenergic input with the neurotoxin DSP4, as well as less selective depletion of monoamines with reserpine, blocked the loss of gating. Phencyclidine, and other drugs with the same spectrum of action, most likely disrupt gating by increasing noradrenergic activity through a sigma mechanism.

Acute cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury of rabbits was produced by permanently occluding the vertebral arteries and temporarily clamping the common carotid arteries for 30 min. Phencyclidine [1-(phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine, PCP] 40-80 micrograms.kg-1 icv 30 min before ischemia significantly attenuated the decrease of the total power of electroencephalogram (EEG) within 30 min of ischemia and improved the recovery of brain electric activity following reperfusion. PCP 20-80 micrograms.kg-1 dose-dependently suppressed the creatine kinase (CK) release during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, and PCP 40-80 micrograms.kg-1 reduced brain ischemic damage. These improvements indicated that PCP has protective effects on acute cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury.

The aim of the present study was to find out if a cell line of glial origin possesses sigma and/or phencyclidine (PCP) binding sites. Binding of [3H]1,3-di-o-tolyl-guanidine (DTG), a highly selective ligand for sigma binding sites, and of [3H]N-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl] piperidine ([3H]TCP), a radioligand specific for PCP receptors, to C6-BU-1 glioma cells was investigated. Binding of [3H]DTG to C6-BU-1 cell membranes was reversible, saturable (Bmax = 10.5 pmol/mg protein), and of high affinity (KD = 26 nM). C6-BU-1 cells do not possess PCP receptors as indicated by negligible specific binding of [3H]TCP to C6-BU-1 cell membranes. Specific binding of [3H]DTG was reduced in the presence of Ca2+ and to a lesser extent by Mg2+. The rank order of potency of various PCP and sigma ligands was DTG > (+)3-[(3-hydroxy-phenyl)-N-n-propyl-piperidine] [(+)3-PPP] > haloperidol > pentazocine > (-)3-PPP > PCP > metaphit > dextromethorphan > (-)butaclamol > (+)butaclamol > (-)N-allylnormetazocine [(-)SKF 10,047] > MK801 > (+)SKF 10,047 > ketamine. The drug specificity, confirmed by a reversed stereoselectivity for the benzomorphan opiate SKF 10,047, indicated that these sites correspond to a subtype of sigma binding sites, the so-called sigma 2 binding site. Thus, the C6-BU-1 cell line is the first glial cell line demonstrated to have sigma 2 binding sites.

The novel semirigid derivatives (+)-cis-1-[2-phenyl-2-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl]piperidine [(+)-8], its enantiomer (-)-8, and (+-)-trans-1-[2-phenyl-2-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl]piperidine [(+/-)-9] were synthesized as probes to investigate the mode of interaction of phencyclidine (PCP) with its binding site on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex. Each target compound was obtained in five steps starting from cyclopent-2-enone. (+)- and (-)-8 were obtained in greater than 98% optical purity through three recrystallizations from ethanol of the (S)-(+)- and (R)-(-)-mandelate salts of intermediate (+-)-cis-2-phenyl-2-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexylamine ([(+/-)-16]. Crystallization of the (R)-(-)-mandelate salt afforded (1R,2R,5S)-(-)-16, whereas the (S)-(+)-mandelate salt afforded (1S,2S,5R)-(+)-16; the absolute configuration was determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis of (-)-16.(R)-(-)-mandelate. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of (+/-)-9-picrate confirmed its trans configuration and provided conformational data. (+)- and (-)-8 and (+/-)-9 were examined for their ability to interact with PCP and sigma binding sites in vitro using [3H]TCP and [3H]pentazocine as radioligands. The binding was compared with that of PCP and contrasted with the rigid symmetrical phencyclidine derivatives cis- and trans-1-[3-phenyl-3-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl]piperidines (6 and 7). The results of the study indicated that the conformations of PCP represented by 6-9 are not optimal for potent interaction at either of these sites. Affinities ranged from 582 nM [(+/-)-9] to 29,000 nM [(+)-8] at PCP binding sites and from 1130 nM [(-)-8] to 16,300 nM (7) at sigma sites. In this assay, PCP exhibited affinities of 64.5 nM at PCP and 1090 nM at sigma sites. Qualitative correlation between the sigma and PCP binding data suggests some similarities between these binding sites. An axial phenyl and equatorial piperidine ring with the nitrogen lone pair of electrons antiperiplanar to the phenyl ring has been postulated as the receptor-active conformation of PCP-like ligands at the PCP binding site. Comparison of the binding data of 7-9 with that of the previously described methylcyclohexyl-PCP derivatives allowed its rationalization in terms of this model. It is likely that the lowered affinity in this bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane series is a consequence of nonoptimal geometry (pseudoequatorial phenyl or pseudoboat) for binding as opposed to the presence of steric bulk which proved deleterious in the methylcyclohexyl-PCP derivatives.

The psychotomimetic effects of certain cycloalkyls and benzomorphans that interact with sigma receptors has led to the hypothesis that these sites may be important in the etiology of schizophrenia. DuP 734 [1-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4-(2'-(4''-fluoro-phenyl)-2'-oxoethyl) piperidine HBr] is a novel sigma receptor ligand. The receptor binding specificity and neuroanatomical distribution of [3H]DuP 734-labeled sigma receptors in guinea pig brain were examined using quantitative autoradiography. [3H]DuP 734 binding (10 microM haloperidol displaceable) to slide-mounted sections of guinea pig brain was saturable and of high affinity (Ki = 3.9 nM). Competition studies, under conditions identical to those used to visualize the receptor, yielded the following rank order of potency: DuP 734 > haloperidol > (+)-pentazocine > (-)-butaclamol > DTG > (+)-SKF 10,047 > (+)-3-PPP > (-)-pentazocine > (+)-butaclamol > U50,488H > (-)-SKF 10,047 > cinanserin > PCP >> MK801, sulpiride. High densities of [3H]DuP 734 binding sites displaceable by haloperidol were present in the limbic system, in particular the dorsal and ventral bands of Broca as well as the ventral pallidum. Within the hippocampus, the pyramidal layers were sparsely labeled, while higher densities of binding sites were evident in the dentate gyrus. The frontal cortex, the mammillary complex of the hypothalamus, the central gray and red nucleus of the midbrain, the pontine reticular nucleus, the Purkinje cell layer of the cerebellum and dorsal and ventral horns, as well as the central gray matter of the spinal cord, all showed enrichments of [3H]DuP 734 binding sites. Lower levels of binding were present in the other regions of the cerebral cortex including parietal, pyriform, occipital, cingulate cortex, as well as the basal ganglia, and negligible specific binding was present in the white matter tracts. The kinetic and pharmacological characteristics and distribution of [3H]DuP 734 binding sites in brain are similar to those previously reported for sigma receptors.

Eleven drugs were examined for their ability to inhibit sigma and phencyclidine (PCP) receptor binding, as labelled by (+)[3H]-R-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine ((+)-3-PPP), [3H]ditolylguanidine (DTG), (+)[3H]N-allylnormetazocine (NANM) and [3H]1-(1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl)piperidine (TCP), in membrane preparations from whole rat brain. The same drugs were studied for their effects under a fixed-ratio (FR) schedule of food reinforcement in rats. The relative potency order of the drugs for decreasing FR responding was: haloperidol greater than (+)-3-PPP greater than (-)NANM greater than BMY 14802 greater than PCP greater than (+)NANM greater than DTG greater than rimcazole greater than JO 1783 greater than JO1784 greater than (-)butaclamol. The binding affinities of all 11 drugs for either the [3H]DTG, (+)[3H]-3-PPP, (+)[3H]NANM or [3H]TCP site did not correlate significantly with the potencies of the same drugs for decreasing FR behavior. Rimcazole, (+)-3-PPP and haloperidol, at behaviorally inactive doses, were studied for their effects as antagonists of the rate-decreasing effects of JO 1784, DTG and (+)NANM: rimcazole attenuated the effects of DTG and (+)NANM but not JO 1784; (+)-3-PPP attenuated the effects of (+)NANM but not JO 1784 and DTG; and haloperidol was devoid of antagonistic actions. Moreover, BMY 14802 did not attenuate the rate-decreasing effects of (+)-3-PPP. These results further indicate that it is difficult to distinguish between purported sigma agonist and antagonist drugs.

Several arylcyclohexylamines and opioid benzomorphans that bind to phencyclidine (PCP) receptors were studied for their effects on punished and unpunished responding maintained under fixed-interval schedules of food presentation. All of these drugs increased both punished and unpunished responding, although higher doses decreased responding. The order of potency for increasing punished responding was MK-801 [(+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzoa(a,d)-cyclohepten-5,1 0-imine] greater than [1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine] = PCP greater than (+)-N-allylnormetazocine = (-)-N-allynormetazocine. There was a high correlation (0.95) between the relative potency of these drugs in increasing punished responding and their relative affinity for PCP receptors. Because some of these drugs also bind to sigma receptors, drugs with a high affinity for sigma receptors, such as haloperidol, BD 737 [1S,2R-(-)-cis-N-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-N- methyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl) cyclohexylamine] and (+)-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine, were also studied for their effects on punished and unpunished responding. These drugs produced only rate-decreasing effects. The correlation between the relative potency of drugs in increasing punished responding and their relative affinity for sigma receptors was low (-0.19). These data suggest that the PCP receptor is involved in some drug-induced increases in punished responding.

Quantitative ligand binding studies have been used to characterize binding sites for N-allylnormetazocine ((+)SKF10,047) (SKF), 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl) piperidine (PCP), N-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine (TCP) and haloperidol in membranes from the brain of rat and guinea pig under conditions which permitted simultaneous analysis of the binding of both PCP and SKF. Using four labelled ligands (SKF, TCP, PCP and haloperidol), each displaced by the corresponding four unlabelled ligands, four classes of binding sites were observed in membranes from the brain of the rat, corresponding to sigma (sigma), two classes of PCP sites (PCP1, PCP2) and dopamine (D2) sites. The sigma site was suppressed by 50 nM haloperidol, while the PCP1 and PCP2 sites were not. These results were confirmed by studies employing a self- and cross-displacement design and dose-response surfaces for SKF and TCP, with and without blockade by haloperidol of the sigma site. Using mathematical modelling, employing the program LIGAND, it was possible to reject simpler models involving a common "PCP/sigma" site or a model involving only two classes of sites (sigma and PCP). Similar methods were used to identify two classes of sigma binding sites and two classes of PCP binding sites, in membranes prepared from the brain of the guinea pig. The relative potencies of 18 ligands for displacement of (+)[3H]SKF10,047 and [3H]TCP were compared: there were significant qualitative and quantitative differences in the "sigma" binding sites in the brain of rat and guinea pig, while the PCP binding sites were very similar in the two species.

NG108-15 cells were shown to possess high affinity binding sites for 1,3-di(2-[5-3H]tolyl)guanidine ([3H]DTG), a selective sigma ligand (Kd = 23 nM; maximal number of binding sites = 15.6 pmol/mg). The rank order of potency of drugs at this site was DTG greater than haloperidol greater than pentazocine greater than 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(1-propyl)piperidine [(+)-3-PPP] greater than phencyclidine (PCP) greater than metaphit greater than (-)-3-PPP greater than (-)-N-allylnormetazocine [(-)-SKF 10,047] greater than (-)-butaclamol greater than (+)-butaclamol greater than (+)-SKF 10,047 greater than dizolcipine (MK 801 [5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo(a,d)cyclohepten-5,10-imine- maleate]) greater than ketamine. Both, Kd value and pattern of ligand selectivity suggest a close relationship to sigma sites in rodent brain. However, in comparison to sigma sites in brain stereoselectivity for the benzomorphan, SKF 10,047 was reversed and the affinities for benzomorphans were only moderate to low. Thus, sigma binding sites in NG108-15 cells seem to correspond to recently detected sigma sites in a pheochromocytoma cell line (PC12). [3H]-1-(2-thienyl)-cyclohexyl]piperidine ([3H]TCP), a PCP receptor-selective ligand binds to NG108-15 cells with moderate affinity (Kd = 139 nM; maximal number of binding sites = 4.7 pmol/mg of protein).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Characteristics of muscarinic cholinergic (mACh), gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABAA) and phencyclidine (PCP) receptors in the spontaneously epileptic rats (SER), which exhibit both absence-like seizures and tonic convulsion, were examined using in vitro quantitative autoradiography. Computer analysis using autoradiographic technique revealed that the amount of the specific binding of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) to mACh receptors in the striatum of SER was more than that of zitter rats, not exhibiting both seizures and convulsion. However, the specific bindings of [3H]muscimol and [3H]N-(1-[2-thienyl]cyclohexyl)3,4-piperidine (TCP) to GABAA and PCP receptors, respectively, of SER were not different from those of zitter rats in various regions tested. These results suggest that hyperfunction of mACh receptors in the striatum is involved in the appearance of absence-like seizures and tonic convulsion of SER.
