The ability of selective D-1 agonist and antagonist drugs to alter motor deficits and locomotor activity was studied in MPTP-treated common marmosets. Both the D-2 agonist quinpirole and the mixed D-1/D-2 agonist apomorphine reversed the motor impairments and induced locomotor activity. The D-1 antagonist SCH 23390 and the D-2 antagonist raclopride given alone further reduced motor function in MPTP-treated animals. The actions of quinpirole were potently and completely inhibited by raclopride but only partially and inconsistently by SCH 23390. In contrast, the effects of apomorphine were markedly but incompletely inhibited by both raclopride and SCH 23390. The D-1 agonist SKF 38393 alone caused a dose related reduction in motor activity. SKF 38393 weakly and partially inhibited the improvements in motor function produced by quinpirole but had a more pronounced effect on apomorphine induced motor activity. The induction of motor activity in MPTP treated common marmosets may separately involve both D-1 and D-2 receptors. Comparison with our previous data on the effect of the same drugs in normal common marmosets provides some evidence for a breakdown of linkage between D-1 and D-2 systems following MPTP treatment. The actions of SKF 38393 in MPTP-treated common marmosets contrasts with its ability to induce behavioural activation and a facilitation of D-2 mediated behaviour in rodents. SKF 38393 may not be the compound with which to delineate the role of D-1 receptors in primates.
