Application

S(−)-Raclopride (+)-tartrate salt has been used as a D2 receptor antagonist:
  • to study the role of the D2 receptor in mediating ventrolateral PAG (vlPAG)/dorsal raphe dopaminergic antinociceptive effect in animals
  • in pharmacological and behavioral studies performed with Thap1 null mice
  • to determine the relationship between Ca2+ transients and dopamine neuron activity in rats

Biochem/physiol Actions

Raclopride is a benzamide derivative and a selective D2 dopamine receptor antagonist.

Packaging

Improving exercise capacity during adolescence impacts positively on cognitive and motor functions. However, the neural mechanisms contributing to enhance physical performance during this sensitive period remain poorly understood. Such knowledge could help to optimize exercise programs and promote a healthy

S 14506 (1-[-(4-fluorobenzoylamino)ethyl]-4-(7-methoxynaphthyl)piper azine hydrochloride), 8-OH-DPAT ((+/-)-8-hydroxydipropylaminotetralin hydrobromide), clozapine and raclopride were compared in some behavioural models able to characterize dopamine antagonist properties. In mice treated with apomorphine (0.75 mg/kg, s.c.), stereotyped climbing and sniffing were dose dependently antagonized by

Phasic dopamine activity is evoked by reliable predictors of food reward and plays a role in cue-triggered, goal-directed behavior. While this important signal is modulated by physiological state (e.g. hunger, satiety), the mechanisms by which physiological state is integrated by
