Abstract
It has been shown in experiments on mice and rats that unlike haloperidol and sulpiride, carbidine does not influence the intensity and even increases the duration of apomorphine stereotypy. However, similarly to haloperidol carbidine decreases head twitches in mice, induced by administration of 5-hydroxytryptophan. In radioligand-binding experiments in vitro and in vivo carbidine displaced 3H-spiperone but in the brain cortex without having any effect on the binding in the striatum. Carbidine did not affect the dopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase in rat striatum. Based on these data it is suggested that in contrast to haloperidol and sulpiride, carbidine selectively inhibits serotonin receptors of the brain.
