BARRETT Department o f Pharmacology, ICI Ltd., Pharmaceuticals Division, Alderley Park, Macclesfield, England The degree and duration of insulin hypoglycaemia was potentiated by chronic oral medication with mebanazine in rats. Hypo- physectomy alone increased sensitivity to insulin but did not abolish the potentiating effect of mebanazine. Chronic mebanazine treat­ ment (15 mg/kg/day) for 6 weeks markedly reduced weight gain, food and water consumption and pituitary growth hormone content, but the results were not significantly different from those in un­ medicated pair-fed controls. Similarly, immature rats treated with mebanazine had a significant reduction in the width of the tibial epiphysial cartilage but this was not different from that in pair-fed animals. After 18 h of fasting, acute administration of mebanazine had little effect on food consumption in the 2 h period following dosing but a significant effect over 24 h. In fed rats mebanazine in a single oral dose significantly reduced eating in the following 6 h. Treatment with mebanazine at 2-5 mg/kg for 15 days significantly reduced food intake but did not potentiate insulin hypoglycaemia. From the results it would appear that previous suggestions that mebanazine specifically interferes with growth hormone release are incorrect and the findings emphasize the importance of measuring food intake in experiments of long duration. Long-term administration of the monoamine oxidase inhibitor mebanazine to rats has been shown to potentiate the hypoglycaemic effects of both insulin and tolbut­ amide (Barrett, 1965). The results were compatible with the hypothesis that meban­ azine treatment interfered with the adrenergically mediated mechanisms for combating low circulating glucose levels. It was proposed that the pattern of insulin potentiation and hypotensive episodes during the clinical use of mebanazine (Wickstrom & Pettersson, 1964; Cooper & Keddie, 1964) might have a common origin.

  • Zebrafish Behavioural Profiling Identifies GABA and Serotonin
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11936-w OPEN Zebrafish behavioural profiling identifies GABA and serotonin receptor ligands related to sedation and paradoxical excitation Matthew N. McCarroll1,11, Leo Gendelev1,11, Reid Kinser1, Jack Taylor 1, Giancarlo Bruni 2,3, Douglas Myers-Turnbull 1, Cole Helsell1, Amanda Carbajal4, Capria Rinaldi1, Hye Jin Kang5, Jung Ho Gong6, Jason K. Sello6, Susumu Tomita7, Randall T. Peterson2,10, Michael J. Keiser 1,8 & David Kokel1,9 1234567890():,; Anesthetics are generally associated with sedation, but some anesthetics can also increase brain and motor activity—a phenomenon known as paradoxical excitation. Previous studies have identified GABAA receptors as the primary targets of most anesthetic drugs, but how these compounds produce paradoxical excitation is poorly understood. To identify and understand such compounds, we applied a behavior-based drug profiling approach. Here, we show that a subset of central nervous system depressants cause paradoxical excitation in zebrafish. Using this behavior as a readout, we screened thousands of compounds and identified dozens of hits that caused paradoxical excitation. Many hit compounds modulated human GABAA receptors, while others appeared to modulate different neuronal targets, including the human serotonin-6 receptor. Ligands at these receptors generally decreased neuronal activity, but paradoxically increased activity in the caudal hindbrain. Together, these studies identify ligands, targets, and neurons affecting sedation and paradoxical excitation in vivo in zebrafish. 1 Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA. 2 Cardiovascular Research Center and Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA.

    CENTER FOR DRUG EVALUATION AND RESEARCH APPLICATION NUMBER: 200603 PHARMACOLOGY REVIEW(S) Tertiary Pharmacology/Toxicology Review From: Paul C. Brown, Ph.D., ODE Associate Director for Pharmacology and Toxicology, OND IO NDA: 200603 Agency receipt date: 12/30/2009 Drug: Lurasidone hydrochloride Applicant: Sunovion Pharmaceuticals (Originally submitted by Dainippon Sumimoto Pharma America, Inc.) Indication: schizophrenia Reviewing Division: Division of Psychiatry Products Background: The pharm/tox reviewer and team leader concluded that the nonclinical data support approval of lurasidone for the indication listed above. Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity: Reproductive and developmental toxicity studies in rats and rabbits revealed no evidence of teratogenicity or embryofetal toxicity. The high doses in the rat and rabbit embryofetal toxicity studies were 3 and 12 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (80 mg) based on a body surface area comparison. Carcinogenicity: Lurasidone was tested in 2 year rat and mouse carcinogenicity studies. These studies were reviewed by the division and the executive carcinogenicity assessment committee. The committee concluded that the studies were adequate and that there was a drug-related increase in mammary carcinomas in female rats at doses of 12 mg/kg and higher and a drug-related increase in mammary carcinomas and adenoacanthomas and pituitary pars distalis adenomas in female mice. The applicant also provided data from various studies showing that lurasidone significantly increases prolactin in several different species including rats and mice. Conclusions: I agree with the division pharm/tox conclusion that this application can be approved from a pharm/tox perspective. The division recommends that lurasidone be labeled with pregnancy category B.

  • Stria Terminalis Lesions Attenuate the Effects of Posttraining Oxotremorine and Atropine on Retention
    Psychobiology 1989, Vol. 17, 397-401 Stria terminalis lesions attenuate the effects of posttraining oxotremorine and atropine on retention INES B. INTROINI-COLLISON, YUTAKA ARAI, and JAMES L. McGAUGH Uniuersity of California, [ruine, California In these experiments, we examined the effects of posttraining administration of the choliner­ gic agonist oxotremorine and the cholinergic antagonist atropine on retention in rats with le­ sions of the stria terminalis (ST). Male Sprague-Dawley rats, with either sham or bilateral ST lesions, were trained in a one-trial step-through inhibitory-avoidance task and a Y-maze discrimi­ nation task. Immediately after training on each task, they received i.p. injections of saline, ox­ otremorine (50.0 "g/kg), or atropine (3.0 mg/kg). Retention of each task was tested 1 week follow­ ing training. Lesions of the ST did not affect retention of either task in otherwise untreated animals, but blocked both the memory-enhancing efIect of oxotremorine and the memory-impairing effect of atropine. These findings suggest that activation of pathways within the ST is involved in cholinergic influences on memory, and are consistent with the view that the amygdaloid com­ plex is involved in integrating neuromodulatory influences on memory storage.

  • Cholinergic Modulation During Acquisition of Olfactory Fear Conditioning Alters Learning and Stimulus Generalization in Mice
    Downloaded from learnmem.cshlp.org on September 30, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Brief Communication Cholinergic modulation during acquisition of olfactory fear conditioning alters learning and stimulus generalization in mice Eloisa Pavesi, Allison Gooch, Elizabeth Lee, and Max L. Fletcher1 Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, Tennessee 38163, USA We investigated the role of cholinergic neurotransmission in olfactory fear learning. Mice receiving pairings of odor and foot shock displayed fear to the trained odor the following day. Pretraining injections of the nicotinic antagonist mecamyl- amine had no effect on subsequent freezing, while the muscarinic antagonist scopolamine significantly reduced freezing. To test whether cholinergic manipulation affected fear generalization, mice were presented with odors similar to the trained odor. Generalization was increased following pretraining scopolamine, while the muscarinic agonist oxotremorine de- creased generalization. These results suggest that muscarinic neurotransmission during the acquisition of olfactory associ- ation modulates both the strength and specificity of learning. The olfactory system receives cholinergic input from the horizon- suggesting that muscarinic activation is important for the acquisi- tal limb of the diagonal band of Broca (HDB) (Zaborszky et al. tion of olfactory fear learning. We next tested whether manipula- 1986). Blocking olfactory system cholinergic receptors disrupts tion of mAChRs could also affect the specificity of the fear several aspects of olfactory processing including olfactory short- learning. In this case, mice trained to a single odor tend to freeze term memory (Hunter and Murray 1989; Paolini and McKenzie at similar levels when tested with other structurally similar odors, 1993; Miranda et al.
