Involvement of the dopamine receptors in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in the effects of histamine on anxiety-like behaviors of the elevated plus maze in male Wistar rats was investigated. The results showed that bilateral intra-BLA injections of histamine (2.5, 5 and 7.5 µg/rat) induced an anxiogenic-like effect, revealed by decreases in percentage of open arm time (%OAT) and open arm entries (%OAE). Intra-BLA administration of dopamine D1 receptor agonist, SKF38393 (0.25 µg/rat), and dopamine D2 receptor agonist, quinpirole (0.03 and 0.05 µg/rat), decreased %OAT but not %OAE. Conversely, intra-BLA administration of dopamine D1 receptor antagonist, SCH23390 (0.5 and 1 µg/rat), and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, sulpiride (0.3 and 0.5 µg/rat), increased %OAT and %OAE, suggesting an anxiolytic-like effect for both drugs. Interestingly, co-administration of a silent dose of SCH23390 or sulpiride prevented anxiogenic-like effects of SKF38393 and quinpirole, respectively. Conjoint administration of a sub-effective dose of SKF38393 (0.125 µg/rat) or quinpirole (0.01 µg/rat) along with lower doses of histamine (1 and 2.5 µg/rat) induced anxiolytic-like effects. On the other hand, intra-BLA pretreatment with a silent dose of SCH23390 (0.25 µg/rat) or sulpiride (0.1 µg/rat) prevented the anxiogenic-like effect of higher doses of histamine (5 and 7.5 µg/rat). No significant change was observed in total closed arm entries, as an index for motor activity of the animals. It can be concluded that the dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in the BLA may be involved in the anxiogenic-like effects induced by histamine.

(1) Background: Two first-in-class racemic dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) positive allosteric modulator (PAM) chemotypes (1 and 2) were identified from a high-throughput screen. In particular, due to its selectivity for the D1R and reported lack of intrinsic activity, compound 2 shows promise as a starting point toward the development of small molecule allosteric modulators to ameliorate the cognitive deficits associated with some neuropsychiatric disease states; (2) Methods: Herein, we describe the enantioenrichment of optical isomers of 2 using chiral auxiliaries derived from (R)- and (S)-3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (d- and l-pantolactone, respectively); (3) Results: We confirm both the racemate and enantiomers of 2 are active and selective for the D1R, but that the respective stereoisomers show a significant difference in their affinity and magnitude of positive allosteric cooperativity with dopamine; (4) Conclusions: These data warrant further investigation of asymmetric syntheses of optically pure analogues of 2 for the development of D1R PAMs with superior allosteric properties.
