The effect of the atypical neuroleptic zotepine (CAS 26615-21-4), in comparison with clozapine, risperidone and haloperidol, on the responsiveness of different 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT1) receptor subtypes to their agonists was examined in rats and mice. The above antipsychotics were investigated in the following behavioural tests: 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-dipropylaminotetralin)-induced behavioural syndrome in rats, mCPP (mchlorophenylpiperazine)-induced hypothermia in mice and mCPP-induced hypoactivity measured in the open field in rats. Zotepine, clozapine and haloperidol did not affect the behavioural syndrome induced by 8-OH-DPAT (the selective agonist of 5-HT1A, receptor), only risperidone (used in higher doses) attenuated the effect of 8-OH-DPAT. The mCPP-induced hypothermia in mice (a 5-HT1B effect) was affected by neither zotepine nor clozapine, risperidone and haloperidol, all of them used in low doses which did not influence per se the body temperature of mice. All the tested antipsychotics given at high doses induced hypothermia in control mice; at the same time, zotepine, clozapine and risperidone attenuated the hypothermic effect of mCPP. mCPP decreases the exploratory activity of rats, this effect being considered to be mediated by 5-HT1C receptors. The tested antipsychotics, used in low doses, influenced neither the exploratory activity nor the hypoactivity induced by mCPP. When used at higher doses, they induced hypoactivity in control rats; the hypoactivity after joint administration of zotepine, risperidone or haloperidol and mCPP was significantly greater than after mCPP alone, whereas clozapine slightly attenuated the effect of mCPP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Dizocilpine (MK-801; 0.3 mg/kg i.p.)-induced disruption in prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response (PPI) can be preferentially restored by "atypical" antipsychotics. In contrast, some findings indicate that not all of the "atypical" antipsychotics, such as clozapine and risperidone, are effective in restoring the NMDA antagonist-induced deficits in PPI. In our study, we evaluated the effect of four different "atypical" antipsychotic drugs on deficits in PPI induced by MK-801. Zotepine and risperidone have high affinities to D2-like and 5-HT2A receptors, while clozapine and olanzapine have multipharmacological profiles with the highest affinities to serotonin 5-HT1A,2A/2C receptors and muscarinic receptors. Results have shown that MK-801 disrupted PPI and increased the ASR in rats. Our results showed no effect of zotepine (1 and 2 mg/kg) and risperidone (0.1 and 1 mg/kg) on disrupted PPI by MK-801. Administration of clozapine (5 and 10 mg/kg) and olanzapine (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) restored the deficits in PPI induced by MK-801. Additionally, we found a decrease of approximately 46% in PPI after administration of clozapine (5 mg/kg) and olanzapine (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) without MK-801 treatment. In summary, the four "atypical" antipsychotics had different efficacies to restore the disrupted PPI by MK-801. Only clozapine and olanzapin restored the MK-801-induced deficits in PPI.
