title: Acute treatment with clozapine blocks D1 dopamine receptor binding in discrete brain areas of the male rat.
abstract: The ability of acute treatment with clozapine in vivo to block D1 receptors in the rat telencephalon and midbrain was investigated using the irreversible inactivation of [125I]SCH 23982 binding sites by N-ethoxy-carbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ; 6 mg/kg, i.p., 24 h). As analyzed by quantitative autoradiography, clozapine (40 mg/kg, i.p., 15 min before EEDQ administration) was found to produce a partial protection of central D1 receptors in all brain areas investigated, including cerebrocortical regions. These data could perhaps explain the failure of clozapine to induce tardive dyskinesia upon chronic treatment.
