The novel selective adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonist KW-6002 improves motor disability in MPTP-treated parkinsonian marmosets without provoking dyskinesia. In this study we have investigated whether KW-6002 in combination with l-DOPA or selective D1 or D2 dopamine receptor agonists enhances antiparkinsonian activity in MPTP-treated common marmosets. Combination of KW-6002 with the selective dopamine D2 receptor agonist quinpirole or the D1 receptor agonist SKF80723 produced an additive improvement in motor disability. Coadministration of KW-6002 with a low dose of L-DOPA also produced an additive improvement in motor disability, and increased locomotor activity. The ability of KW-6002 to enhance antiparkinsonian activity was more marked with L-DOPA and quinpirole than with the D1 agonist. However, despite producing an enhanced antiparkinsonian response KW-6002 did not exacerbate L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in MPTP-treated common marmosets previously primed to exhibit dyskinesia by prior exposure to L-DOPA. Selective adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists, such as KW-6002, may be one means of reducing the dosage of L-DOPA used in treating Parkinson's disease and are potentially a novel approach to treating the illness both as monotherapy and in combination with dopaminergic drugs.

Striatal mRNA expression for preproenkephalin (PPE) and preprotachykinin (PPT) was studied in unilateral 6-OHDA lesioned rats treated subchronically with a range of selective and non-selective D-1 or D-2 dopamine (DA) agonists. Apomorphine (5 mg/kg sc), pergolide (0.5 mg/kg sc), SKF 38393 (5 mg/kg sc), SKF 80723 (1.5 mg/kg sc), and quinpirole (5 mg/kg sc), or 0.9% saline (150 microliters sc) were all given twice daily (except pergolide: once daily) for 7 days. The abundance of PPE mRNA was not altered by any of these DA agonists in the intact striatum contralateral to the 6-OHDA lesion. Only apomorphine and quinpirole increased the abundance of PPT mRNA in the intact striatum. In saline treated 6-OHDA lesioned animals PPE mRNA was elevated (+160%, p < 0.005) and PPT mRNA decreased (-36%, p < 0.005) in the denervated striatum. The up-regulation of striatal PPE mRNA in the lesioned striatum was reversed only by pergolide. The downregulation of striatal PPT mRNA in the lesioned striatum was reversed only by apomorphine. The differential sensitivity of the striatal PPE message to the long-acting DA agonist pergolide, and of the striatal PPT message to the mixed D-1/D-2 DA agonist apomorphine suggests that the striatopallidal enkephalinergic pathways are mainly regulated by prolonged DA receptor stimulation, whereas the striatonigral substance P pathways are mainly regulated by mixed D-1/D-2 DA receptor stimulation.

The ability of benzazepine D-1 dopamine agonists with varying efficacies in stimulating adenylate cyclase and to induce contralateral circling was investigated in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the medial forebrain bundle. In the 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned rats, the benzazepines SKF 38393 (7,8-dihydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine), SKF 75670 (3-CH3 analogue), SKF 80723 (6-Br analogue), SKF 83959 (6-Cl, 3-CH3, 3'-CH3 analogue), SKF 83565 (6-Cl, 3-CH3, 3'-Cl analogue) and SKF 82958 (6-Cl, 3-C3H5 analogue), all produced contralateral circling. The rank order of efficacies (maximal effect, Emax) being, SKF 83565 = SKF 75670 = SKF 83959 = SKF 80723 > SKF 38393 >> SKF 82958. In striatal slices from the intact hemisphere, dopamine, SKF 82958, SKF 80723 and SKF 75670 stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The rank order of efficacies being SKF 82958 (109%) = dopamine (100%) = SKF 80723 (98%) > SKF 75670 (72%). Although, SKF 38393 (67%), SKF 83565 (64%) and SKF 83959 (59%) tended to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, this effect did not reach statistical significance. In the 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned hemisphere, basal levels of adenylate cyclase activity were lower (-25%) than in the intact hemisphere. The maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity (expressed as % basal levels) produced by dopamine and the benzazepines in the denervated striatum was greater than observed in the intact striatum. The rank order of efficacies in the dopamine denervated striatum being SKF 82958 (124%) > SKF 80723 (109%) = dopamine (100%) > SKF 38393 (82%) = SKF 83959 (77%) = SKF 83565 (70%) > SKF 75670 (55%). Moreover, dopamine stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in the denervated striatum with greater potency than in the intact side. The ability of the benzazepine derivatives to induce circling in the 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned rat is consistent with the general increase in the efficacies of dopamine and benzazepine stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in the dopamine denervated striatum. However, the maximal effects for inducing circling and stimulating adenylate cyclase activity do not correspond (e.g. SKF 82958 and SKF 75670). This discrepancy may reflect the involvement of other factors including a behavioural role for extrastriatal D-1 dopamine receptors and/or transduction systems other than adenylate cyclase.
