The partial DA receptor agonist preclamol, (-)-3-PPP (50-200 mumol/kg, s.c.) partially reversed the catalepsy induced by the dopamine (DA) receptor antagonists haloperidol (5.3 mumol/kg, i.p.) and raclopride (20.1 mumol/kg, i.p.) in rats. Terguride (transdihydrolisuride), a partial DA receptor agonist with an efficacy lower than that of preclamol, blocked haloperidol (10.6 mumol/kg, i.p.) induced catalepsy at 5 mumol/kg, s.c., but not at 20 mumol/kg, s.c. The effects of terguride in this assay are possibly related to the compound's mixed partial DA agonist/5-HT1A receptor agonist properties. The high efficacy agonist, pramipexole (SND 919) also blocked haloperidol induced catalepsy at 50 mumol/kg, s.c. Haloperidol (0.33-1.3 mumol/kg, i.p.) reduced the locomotor activity down to 5% of saline controls and elevated limbic and striatal DOPA accumulation. When combined with haloperidol, preclamol (100-200 mumol/kg, s.c.) antagonized both the strong hypomotility and increase in DOPA accumulation. Finally, the elevation of serum prolactin in rats induced by haloperidol (0.25 mumol/kg, i.p.) was significantly antagonized by co-administration of preclamol (39 mumol/kg, s.c.). These results show that partial DA agonists can reverse both behavioral, biochemical and neuroendocrine effects of neuroleptics. It also suggests the utility of partial DA receptor agonists in combination with classical neuroleptics in order to minimize the appearance of extrapyramidal side-effects and hyperprolactinemia.

Effects of terguride, a 9,10-dihydrogenated derivative of lisuride, on the central nervous system were investigated in rodents in comparison with those of lisuride. In vitro binding studies in rat brains showed that terguride, similar to lisuride, had a high affinity for D2-, 5-HT1A-, 5-HT2-, alpha 1- and alpha 2-receptors. Terguride, as does lisuride, induced hypomotility and yawning at low doses in rats, suggesting its presynaptic D2-agonist action. Terguride, unlike the postsynaptic D2-agonist lisuride, induced neither hypermotility nor stereotypy in rats and guinea pigs, but suppressed the hypermotility and stereotypy induced by apomorphine. Terguride suppressed haloperidol-induced catalepsy in rats and induced contralateral rotations in unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, as does lisuride. These effects may be due to the postsynaptic D2 partial agonist action. Terguride, unlike lisuride, neither induced the serotonin syndrome nor generalized to the discriminative stimuli of the 5-HT1A- agonist 8-OH-DPAT in rats. Terguride did not induce head twitch in mice. Terguride blocked noradrenaline-induced lethality and clonidine-induced hypothermia at high doses in mice. Repeated administration of terguride did not affect the behavioral actions in rats. Thus, the effects of terguride on the central nervous system seems to be produced by mediation of the agonist and partial agonist actions at presynaptic and postsynaptic D2- receptors, respectively.
