Four monkeys were rendered parkinsonian by N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) i.v. administration and then treated chronically with increasing doses of the D1 agonist CY 208-243 (0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg). All animals showed a dose-dependent improvement of their parkinsonian signs after the

Several analogs of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were synthesized and screened for their capacity to be oxidized by monoamine oxidase (MAO-A or MAO-B) and their capacity to produce nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity in mice. All of the compounds were relatively weak substrates for

1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, (MPTP), produces a parkinsonian syndrome both in man and in experimental animals. Its toxicity is mediated by a metabolite, the 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+). When injected into the striatum, MPP+ is accumulated by dopaminergic nerve terminals and retrogradely transported to

Male mice treated with MPTP or vehicle were tested for their ability to demonstrate a memory-recognition response as evaluated in a habituation-dishabituation task. Treatment with MPTP severely disrupted the male's habituation-dishabituation response profile compared to vehicle treated animals. Administration of

The interactive effects of clorgyline, deprenyl and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) on striatal dopamine (DA), serotonin (5HT) and hippocampal norepinephrine (NE) were examined in the present study. Results indicated that clorgyline did not have a preventive effect against MPTP's toxicity on DA
