Abstract

In baboons, Papio papio, spontaneously showing photosensitive epilepsy, myoclonic responses to intermittent photic stimulation were reduced or abolished for up to four hours by (±)-N-n-propylnorapomorphine (NPA) 0.05–0.2 mg/kg body weight, given i.v. In animals pretreated with allyglycine, 200 mg/kg, a transient abolition of myoclonic responses followed NPA, 0.2 mg/kg. In DBA/2 mice, seizures following auditory stimulation were attenuated or abolished by NPA 0.025–0.1 mg/kg given intraperitoneally (ED 50 abolition of clonic phase = 0.032 mg/kg). The ED 50 for pentylnetetrazol seizures in MF 1 mice was not altered by NPA 0.25 mg/kg.
