AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Bromolisuride, an ergoline derivative, was labeled with the positron emitter radionuclide, bromine 76. In vitro and in vivo binding and competition studies in rats demonstrated a high affinity (KD = 0.3 nM) and a high specificity of this new radioligand for D-2 dopamine receptors. PET kinetic studies in baboons showed an accumulation of [76Br]bromolisuride in the striatum which reached a maximum 30 min post-injection and which could be displaced by haloperidol. All these results indicated that this new ligand is certainly suitable for the non-invasive in vivo quantitative imaging of D-2 dopamine receptor sites in human brain.

Population pharmacokinetics of blonanserin in Japanese adolescent and adult patients with schizophrenia.

The second-generation antipsychotic blonanserin is a highly selective, full antagonist of dopamine D and D and serotonin 5-HT receptors. It is currently prescribed for patients with schizophrenia in Japan. We aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of oral blonanserin, including data from 12 to 77 years old patients, to assess the covariates that influence blonanserin pharmacokinetics and evaluate appropriate dosage regimens in adolescents versus adults.

Lumateperone is a novel antipsychotic recently approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. Its unique pharmacological profile includes modulation of serotonergic, dopaminergic, and glutamatergic neurotransmission, differentiating it from other second-generation antipsychotics. This paper explores the pharmacological features and clinical potential of lumateperone across neuropsychiatric conditions.

Dysfunction of dopamine systems has long been considered a hallmark of schizophrenia, and nearly all current first-line medication treatments block dopamine D receptors. However, approximately a quarter of patients will not adequately respond to these agents and are considered treatment-resistant. Whereas abnormally high striatal presynaptic dopamine synthesis capacity has been observed in people with schizophrenia, studies of treatment-resistant patients have not shown this pattern and have even found the opposite - i.

The α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), an ionophore, has been suggested to signal through metabotropic pathways and interact with other receptor families, such as dopamine receptors. In this study, the interaction between α4β2 nAChR and dopamine receptors was investigated through in vivo and in vitro studies. Nicotine exposure in adolescent rats is known to induce a sustained increase in nicotine's rewarding effects which was assessed by conditioned place preference (CPP) assay.

Background: Dopamine has been widely related to pain modulation, at central and peripheral levels. In this study we aimed to investigate the mechanisms involved in peripheral antinociception, evaluating the interaction between the dopaminergic and endocannabinoid systems in this event.
Methods: Male Swiss mice (30-40 g) were pre-sensitized by administration of the hyperalgesic PGE (2 μg/paw).
