title: Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 and pareptide inhibit development of tolerance to haloperidol catalepsy in the mouse.
abstract: Single doses of MIF-1 (0.03-2.0 mg/kg, SC) and chronic pretreatments with MIF-1 (0.03-2.0 mg/kg, SC, BID, 3 1/2 days) or pareptide (0.25 mg/kg, SC, BID, 3 1/2 days) did not affect the acute cataleptic response to haloperidol in the mouse. Chronic pretreatment with haloperidol (8.0 mg/kg, IP, BID, 3 days) decreased the duration of catalepsy in mice given smaller challenge dose of haloperidol (2.0 or 3.0 mg/kg, IP) 15 hours after the last pretreatment injections. Administration of either MIF-1 or pareptide to mice also chronically pretreated with haloperidol antagonized the development of tolerance.
