Disease relevance of Tocris-1357

• By itself, U 99194A failed to significantly alter the emesis produced by any of the cited agonists, however, it potentiated (3-8 times) the antiemetic effects of sulpride both in reducing the number of shrews vomiting as well as decreasing the mean vomiting frequency with the following ID50 order: PD 128, 907 < 7-(OH) DPAT < quinpirole [1].

Psychiatry related information on Tocris-1357

• Against scopolamine-induced amnesia, SB-277011 (24 mg/kg p.o.) was equally potent in showing protective efficacy; however, two times higher dose levels of U-99194A (24 mg/kg s.c.) and RGH-1756 (2 mg/kg p.o.) were required to attenuate the scopolamine-induced impairment [2].
• Finally, to assess the role of D3 receptor actions in the stimulus generalization produced by (+)-7-OH-DPAT (0.1 mg/kg), PNU-99194A (10, 20 mg/kg) was tested in combination with this compound in each training group [3].
• In habituated rats it had no significant effect on motor activity and was not able to antagonize the hypoactivity caused by PD 128907 (0.1 mg/kg s.c.). U 99194A (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg s.c.) dose-dependently and significantly increased motor activity in mice and inhibited the effects of both agonists [4].
• Pretreatment with the dopamine D3 antagonist U 99194 eliminated the disturbance of passive avoidance learning induced by 7-OH-DPAT [5].

High impact information on Tocris-1357

• Treatment of mice with a D3 antagonist U-99194A selectively reduced homing of naive CD8+ T cells into lymph nodes [6].
• PNU-99194A, a D3 receptor-preferring antagonist, induced a CPP itself at the dose of 10 mg/kg but not at 5 or 15 mg/kg and impaired significantly at 10 and 15 mg/kg the morphine-induced CPP [7].
• Preferential dopamine D(3) antagonists, cis-(+)-(1S, 2R)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin HCl [(+)-UH232] and 5,6-dimethoxy-2-(di-n-propylamine)indan (U-99194A) resulted in a greater increase in the evoked dopamine released from the nucleus accumbens compared with that from the striatum [8].
• Aim of present study was to investigate in male Wistar rats, whether behavioral response to hot plate test application could be influenced by systemic administration of 7-OH-DPAT, a dopaminergic (DA) D3 versus D2 receptor agonist, or U 99194, a DA D3 versus D2 receptor antagonist [9].
• None of the doses of SB-277011 (5, 20 mg/kg), the most selective dopamine D3 antagonist to date, and the lower dose (12 mg/kg) of the moderately D3 selective antagonist U-99194A could influence the rate of self-administration [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Tocris-1357

• Although PNU-99194A partially attenuated the stimulus generalization produced by (+/-)-7-OH-DPAT, it failed to block PD-128907 substitution for cocaine [11].

Biological context of Tocris-1357

• Pretreatment with pramipexole in a concentration range (4-100 microM) significantly attenuates DA- or L-DOPA-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis, an action which is not blocked by D3 antagonist U-99194 A or D2 antagonist raclopride [12].

Anatomical context of Tocris-1357

• It is suggested that D3 receptors in transfected CHO cells may exert mainly an inhibitory, but also a stimulatory influence on TPA-induced AA release, and that PNU-99194A acts as an agonist in this system [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tocris-1357

• The obtained results indicate that dopamine D3 receptor antagonists, nafadotride and PNU 99194A, produced anxiolytic-like effect in animal models, which suggests a putative role of these drugs in the therapy of anxiety [14].
