The release of 131I-labeled thyroxine (T4) from isolated hog thyroid cells was increased 1.5--2-fold by thyrotropin (TSH). Dibutyryl cyclic AMP failed to reproduce this TSH action. In this in vitro system another cell activity, T4 synthesis, was stimulated in an essentially identical fashion by TSH and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (time course of action, dose-response relationship). 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), 0.5 mM, did not alter the basal [131I]T4 release whereas it enhanced the [131I]T4 synthesis. TSH, 60 MU/ml, increased the intracellular cyclic AMP concentration 3-4-fold. Chlorpromazine (5 X 10(-4)M) abolished the TSH stimulation of cyclic AMP accumulation but did not alter the TSH-induced increase in [131I]T4 secretion. It is concluded that the TSH action on [131I]T4 secretion by isolated thyroid cells is not mediated by the adenylate cyclase-cylic AMP system.

Homogenates of frontal cerebral cortex of the rat were prepared from microdiscs punched out in areas rich in dopaminergic terminals. Under optimal assay conditions, dopamine (10-4 M) stimulated an adenylate cyclase present in these homogenates by 80-100%. This stimulation reached 200% when microdiscs were punched out from the medial part of the frontal cerebral cortex, adjacent to the forceps minor. Dopamine interacted with an homogeneous population of receptor sites which had an apparent affinity (KD) of 3.8 +/- 0.9 x 10-6 M (N = 4). The dopamine receptor was blocked by fluphenazine and phentolamine but had no affinity for pindolol, propranolol or L-isoproterenol. The affinities of several neuroleptics having different chemical structures were simultaneously determined on striatal and on frontal cerebral cortex dopamine sensitive adenylate cyclases. Fluphenazine was more potent in blocking the striatal than the frontal cerebral cortex dopaminergic receptors. In contrast, in all experiments, haloperidol had an higher affinity for the cerebral frontal cortex than for the striatal dopaminergic receptors. Thus, haloperidol was less effective than fluphenazine in blocking the striatal dopaminergic receptors, and equally potent than fluphenazine in inhibiting the frontal cerebral cortex dopamine sensitive adenylate cyclase. Chlorpromazine, thioridazine and clozapine had the same affinity for the two dopaminergic adenylate cyclase systems. L-isoproterenol interacted with an homogeneous population of beta-adrenergic receptor sites (KD = 3 +/- 2 X 10-7 M; N = 4) coupled with an adenylate cyclase distince from the dopamine sensitive adenylate cyclase. This beta-receptor had no affinity for dopamine or fluphenazine but was blocked by propranolol or pindolol. L-Norepinephrine was shown to stimulate both the dopamine (KD = 1.8 +/- 1 X 10-5 M; N = 4) and the beta-adrenergic (KD = 8 +/- 3 X 10-7 M; N = 4) sensitive adenylate cyclases. Thus, the L-norepinephrine effect was totally blocked in the combined presence of fluphenazine and pindolol.

Cell-free preparations from superior and inferior colliculi of very young rats (1-3 days old) contained adenylate cyclase systems which were highly responsive to serotonin. The response to serotonin declined markedly during early development and was very low at maturity. Adenylate cyclase activity in the 10,000 times g particulate fraction from colliculi of newborn rats was significantly stimulated by 0.05 muM serotonin. Half-maximal activation was produced with less than 1 muM serotonin. Maximal stimulation of collicular adenylate cyclase was about 80% above basal enzyme activity and occurred with approximately 50 muM serotonin. Tryptamine and several derivatives of serotonin produced responses which were comparable to that obtained with serotonin; 5-methoxytryptamine was uniformly the most active compound tested. Norepinephrine or dopamine produced much smaller increases in adenylate cyclase activity. Stimulation of collicular adenylate cyclase by serotonin was significantly but incompletely blocked by serotonin antagonists, including d-lysergic acid diethylamide (d-LSD), 2-bromo-d-lysergic acid diethylamide, methysergide, 1-methyl-8 beta-carbobenzyloxy-aminomethyl-10 alpha-ergoline and cyproheptadine. Chlorpromazine also produced partial blockade. In contrast, l-lysergic acid diethylamide, haloperidol, propranolol, phenoxybenzamine and morphine were ineffective as serotonin blocking agents. Of the compounds which produced a partial blockage of serotonin action, d-LSD, cyproheptadine and chlorpromazine were themselves capable of stimulating adenylate cyclase activity. These results are consisent with the existence of multiple receptors in rat brain which are capable of interacting with indoleamines.

The effects of the monoamine depleting drugs oxypertine, tetrabenazine and reserpine were compared with those of the dopamine receptor antagonists, chlorpromazine and trifluoperazine, on behavioural and biochemical indices of dopamine function in the brain. Oxypertine (0.625-20 mg/kg, i.p.), chlorpromazine (0.625-20 mg/kg i.p.) and trifluoperazine (0.0625-2.0 mg/kg i.p.), administered to rats 1 hr previously, inhibited stereotyped behaviour induced by both amphetamine (5.0 mg/kg i.p.) and apomorphine (1.0 mg/kg, s.c.) in a dose-dependent manner. Tetrabenazine (0.625-20 mg/kg i.p., 1 hr previously) inhibited stereotypy induced by amphetamine but not that induced by apomorphine. Reserpine (0.1 10 mg/kg i.p., 6 hr previously) did not inhibit, but in larger doses, tended to enhance the stereotyped responses to both amphetamine and apomorphine. Oxypertine (10 mg/kg, i.p., 1 hr previously), tetrabenazine (5 mg/kg i.p., 1 hr previously) and reserpine (2.5 mg/kg i.p., 6 hr previously) reduced the content of dopamine in the striatum but increased the concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC). Chlorpromazine (5 mg/kg i.p.) and trifluoperazine (0.5 mg/kg i.p.), given 1 hr previously, did not alter concentrations of dopamine in the striatum but increased those of HVA and DOPAC. Oxypertine, chlorpromazine and trifluoperazine weakly inhibited dopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase in homogenates of the striatum in the rat. Tetrabenazine and reserpine had no effect. Similarly, trifluoperazine and chlorpromazine displaced the specific binding of [3H]piflutixol to membranes from the striatum. Oxypertine also was weakly effective, but tetrabenazine and reserpine were without effect. Trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine and oxypertine displaced specific binding of [3H]spiperone and [3H]N,n-propylnorapomorphine (NPA) to preparations of the striatum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Two chlorpromazine analogs, 7,8-diOH- and 7,8-dioxo-didesmethyl-chlorpromazine were compared to chlorpromazine (CPZ) with regard to inhibition of three parameters of enzyme activity in rat striatum: 1) dopamine + GTP-sensitive adenylate cyclase in homogenates; 2) dopamine, GTP, calmodulin and Ca++-sensitive adenylate cyclase in washed particulate fractions; and 3) calmodulin-Ca++ activation of high Km cyclic AMP dependent phosphodiesterase in dialyzed supernatant fractions. Chlorpromazine was clearly the most potent antagonist in all three experimental conditions. The CPZ derivatives displayed greatest potency on the particulate adenylate cyclase and all three drugs were 1 to 2 orders of magnitude more effective as inhibitors of the adenylate cyclase preparations than with the calmodulin-Ca++ phosphodiesterase.

The hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis which can occur following urinary diversion through intestinal segments has been managed with bicarbonate or citrate salts. However, satisfactory management is not always possible with this form of treatment. The development of this acidosis has been attributed to intestinal reabsorption of urinary solutes or intestinal secretion of bicarbonate. Intestinal absorptive and secretory processes are modulated by an adenylate cyclase-cyclic AMP system. Chlorpromazine inhibits the effect of cyclic AMP on the intestinal mucosal cell. The use of chlorpromazine in the management of the hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis following urinary diversion was investigated. A canine model employing an ileal segment between ureter and bladder and a rat model in which urine is diverted through the entire colon have been developed. Chlorpromazine (5 mg./kg./day) was found to be efficacious in the management of the metabolic derangements that occur in both of these models. A case study is presented in which conventional management of this syndrome with bicarbonate salts was unsuccessful. The use of chlorpromazine as an adjuvant treatment allowed correction of the acidosis.

Chlorpromazine (3 x 10(-4)M) prevents the stimulation of adenyl cyclase activity in thyroid membranes produced by thyrotropin and prostaglandin, ACTH stimulation of adenyl cyclase in adrenal tissue, and glucagon- and epinephrine-stimulation of adenyl cyclase activity in liver. Baseline activity is unaffected. Parathyroid hormone stimulation of kidney preparations was not inhibited under these conditions. At chlorpromazine concentrations >3 x 10(-4)M F(-)-stimulated cyclase activity of thyroid and adrenal tissue was increased. Other phenothiazines, trifluoperazine, and prochlorperazine, have similar effects on thyrotropin and F(-)-stimulated cyclase activity of thyroid. Na(+)- K(+)-dependent ATPase of thyroid is also inhibited by chlorpromazine. Since thymol causes a similar dissociation of hormone- and F(-)-stimulated adenyl cyclase, it is concluded that the surface properties of these agents best account for their effects on adenyl cyclase.

In the preceding paper, we described the parallel effect of amphipathic drugs on the fluidity and adenylate cyclase activity of pigeon erythrocyte membrane. This parallelism was found when the cyclase activity was assayed in the presence of a guanyl nucleotide and with Mg-ATP as the substrate after a preincubation of the membrane with the drugs [Salesse, R., Garnier, J., Leterrier, F., Daveloose, D., & Viret, J. (1982) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this tissue)]. However, when the regulatory protein (N) and the catalytic unit (E) were precoupled by GppNHp or fluoride before the action of the drugs, the cyclic AMP production was never inhibited. Thus, the drug-induced fluidization appeared to interfere with the efficiency of the activating coupling between N and E. Chlorpromazine even enhanced the cyclase activity: if the catecholamine receptor (R) repressed the cyclase activity in the absence of hormone [Rodbell, M. (1980) Nature (London) 284, 17-22], the loss of R molecules with chlorpromazine would prevent this inhibition and lead to hyperactivity of the enzyme. On the other hand, the comparison between two states of the adenylate cyclase system, (1) N and E reversibly precoupled in the presence of GTP and (2) R, N, and E precoupled in the presence of GTP plus isoproterenol, showed no difference between the activity curves at various drug concentrations: this may be interpreted as a permanent coupling of R and N. The main control exerted by fluidity on the activity of the adenylate cyclase system would thus be at the level of the activating coupling between the N subunit and the catalytic unit in pigeon erythrocyte membrane.

A series of Benzo [b]-promazines and analino-N, N-dimethylpropylamine analogs and the free radical of chlorpromazine were compared to chlorpromazine and promazine in the rat striatum for their ability to inhibit either dopamine activated adenylate cyclase or calmodulin stimulation of a partially purified high Km cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. Chlorpromazine and the corresponding free radical were generally the most potent inhibitors of the two enzyme preparations, however, Piperazino-Benzo [b]-promazine, 1-Oxo-Benzo [b]-promazine, N-38-76-3A and Benzo [b]-promazine were relatively effective inhibitors. To a lesser extent, tyrosine, N-57-77, Piperidino-Benzo [b]-promazine, Diethyl-Benzo [b]-promazine, promazine and 1-Oxo-Diethyl-Benzo [b]-promazine exerted varying degrees of antagonism of the two enzymes. In all instances the compounds inhibited dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase to a greater extent than the calmodulin activated phosphodiesterase.

The effect of membrane-stabilizing and sedative drugs on enterotoxic diarrhoea was studied in mice. Fluid secretion was induced in ligated loops of the small intestine by challenge with cholera toxin (CT), heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) from Escherichia coli or dibuturyl-cyclic AMP (dB-cAMP). Chlorpromazine, melperone, diazepam, mebumal, ketamine and ethanol all inhibited CT-induced hypersecretion. ED50 being 1.5, 4, 4, 35, 70 and 1500 mg/kg, respectively. The drugs also blocked CT-stimulation of adenylate cyclase, which mediates the action of CT. Concomitant with the antisecretory effect a sedative effect was induced, as judged by the motility and righting reflex of the animals. Hypersecretion by E. coli and LT was also totally blocked by chlorpromazine, diazepam, ketamine and ethanol. In contrast, the secretion by dB-cAMP which bypasses adenylate cyclase in its action, was not affected by diazepam and was only partly reversed by chlorpromazine, ketamine and ethanol. The reversal of dB-cAMP-secretion is probably due to enhanced absorption, rather than inhibition of adenylate-cyclase. The use of membrane-stabilizing drugs may represent a new principle for pharmacological treatment of diarrhoea.
