The preferential dopamine autoreceptor, and slightly D3 preferring, antagonist (+)-UH232 (cis-(+)-(1S,2R)-5-methoxy-1-methyl-2-(n-dipropylamino) tetralin) increases locomotor activity and synaptic dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens and striatum after systemic administration to the rat. As shown in this study, (+)-UH232, was unable to produce an increase in locomotor activity measured for 60 minutes after local administration into the terminal or somato-dendritic regions of the mesolimbic dopamine pathways or into the lateral ventricle. Instead, a dose dependent decrease of spontaneous locomotor activity after local application (0.05-50.0 nmol/side) of (+)-UH232 into the nucleus accumbens, was seen. A similar reduction in locomotor activity was produced by the classical dopamine antagonist raclopride. Analysis of the dose*time interactions on locomotor activity did, however, indicate that there is a significant dose*time interaction after local application of (+)-UH232 into the lateral ventricle and VTA. Raclopride, on the other hand, produced only a weak time dependent effect in the VTA. The potential problem of Leao's spreading depression in micro-injection experiments were considered, however, spreading depression does not seem to influence the effects of (+)-UH232 locally applied into the nucleus accumbens. In conclusion, both (+)-UH232 and raclopride produced a dose dependent decrease in spontaneous locomotor activity when examined as the total activity count over 60 minutes after local application into the N Acc.
