Abstract
The development of sensitization to the ambulation-increasing effect of (+)-amphetamine (2.5 mg kg-1) was found to be dose-dependently inhibited when 1 or 2 mg kg-1 chlorpromazine was administered concomitantly, and the sensitization to (+)-amphetamine was almost completely suppressed when co-administered with 4 mg kg-1 chlorpromazine. Following a challenge dose of 2.5 mg kg-1 (+)-amphetamine, mice pretreated with (+)-amphetamine alone or with (+)-amphetamine plus 1 or 2 mg kg-1 chlorpromazine showed similar marked enhancement of the sensitization. However, mice that had been given (+)-amphetamine plus 4 mg kg-1 chlorpromazine displayed only slight enhancement of the effect compared with the activity level in saline-pretreated mice.
