Morphine elicits dose-dependent tail erection in mice. Pretreatment of mice with atropine, phenoxybenzamine, propranolol, diphenhydramine, cyproheptadine or parachlorophenylalanine did not interfere with tail erection induced by morphone. Several neuroleptic drugs which are dopamine receptor blocking agents showed a clear antagonistic effect on morphine-induced tail erection (MITE). Haloperidol and penfluridol blocked MITE at doses which only produced a slight behavioral depression. Pimozide and chlorpromazine were less antagonistic than haloperidol and penfluridol and inhibited MITE only at doses which produced a marked behavioral depression. Results indicated that dopamine might be involved in tail erection induced by morphine. MITE in mice might be a useful model for the evaluation of neuroleptic drugs.
