gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL) increased the dopamine concentration in the forebrain of the mouse. Apomorphine dose-dependently antagonized the GBL effect, while piribedil was less effective. Haloperidol prevented the antagonism of GBL by apomorphine but pimozide was ineffective in blocking apomorphine. After chronic treatment with haloperidol or pimozide, there was no alteration of the maximum GBL-induced increase in dopamine nor was there any significant change in the antagonism by apomorphine, although a trend toward increased sensitivity to apomorphine was noted in the group withdrawn from haloperidol. These results suggest that in the mouse, haloperidol is a more effective antagonist of presynaptic dopamine autoreceptors than pimozide, while apomorphine is a better presynaptic agonist than piribedil.
