Abstract
The effects of the monoamine uptake inhibitor Lu 19-005 ((±)-trans-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N-methyl-1-indanamine) and its (+) and (−) enantiomers, Lu 20-042 and Lu 20-043, were compared with those of cocaine and the selective dopamine uptake inhibitor GBR 12909 (1-{2-[bis-(4-fluorophenyl)methoxyl]ethyl}-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazin e) in behavioral and radioligand binding experiments. Behavioral experiments were conducted in groups of squirrel monkeys trained under fixed-interval schedules of reinforcement in which responding was maintained either by presentation of food or by termination of a visual stimulus associated with mild electric shock. Radioligand binding studies were conducted using [3H]CFT and [3H]GBR 12935 to label elements of the dopamine uptake system in caudate-putamen membranes of cynomolgus monkeys. All drugs produced dose-related increases in response rate under the fixed-interval schedules. Lu 19-005, Lu 20-042, and Lu 20-043 had relatively slow onsets (approximately 2 h) and relatively long durations of action, with effects persisting for two or more days following administration. Stereoselectivity was evident in the behavioral effects of the enantiomers of Lu 19-005, with Lu 20-042 being approximately 14 times more potent than Lu 20-043. In radioligand binding experiments, Lu 19-005 and its enantiomers were potent inhibitors of specifically bound [3H]CFT and [3H]GBR 12935. As in behavioral experiments, Lu 20-042 was more potent than Lu 20-043. The degree of stereoselectivity, however, varied with the temperature of the assay medium. At 37° C, Lu 20-043 was approximately 36 times more potent than Lu 20-043 in inhibiting the binding of [3H]CFT, whereas at 0–4° C, the difference in potency was only about 2-fold. The increased stereoselectivity at 37° C was due to a reduced potency for Lu 20-043. The results support the view that the behavioral effects of Lu 19-005 and its enantiomers are mediated at cocaine recognition sites associated with the dopamine uptake system. The results also show that incubation temperature can be a relevant factor in determining the relative potencies of drugs at [3H]CFT binding sites in vitro.
