Acute and subchronic effects of Rimcazole (BW 234U), a potential antipsychotic drug, on A9 and A10 dopamine neurons in the rat.

The effects of acute and subchronic Rimcazole administration on A9 and A10 dopamine (DA) neurons were examined using extracellular single cell recording techniques. Intravenous injections of Rimcazole did not prevent or reverse the inhibition of firing rates of DA cells produced by DA agonist apomorphine (APO). Single intraperitoneal injection of Rimcazole decreased the number of spontaneously active DA cells in A10, but not in A9; it had no effect on the firing rate of DA neurons in either A9 or A10. Following prolonged administration of Rimcazole, 25 mg/kg/day for 28 days, there was a significant increase in the number of spontaneously active A10 DA neurons, but not A9 DA cells. The firing rate of both A9 and A10 DA cells decreased significantly following prolonged Rimcazole administration; however, the firing pattern of these cells did not change. In addition, chronic Rimcazole did not affect the ID50 of APO for DA neurons. These results suggest that Rimcazole has an indirect effect on DA neurons with a relative selectivity for A10 DA cells; it does not exhibit pharmacological profiles of previously reported antipsychotic drugs.[1]
