Hyperlocomotion

Last updated

Hyperlocomotion, also known as locomotor hyperactivity, hyperactivity, or increased locomotor activity, is an effect of certain drugs in animals in which locomotor activity is increased. [1] It is induced by certain drugs like psychostimulants and NMDA receptor antagonists and is reversed by certain other drugs like antipsychotics and certain antidepressants. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Drugs inducing and reversing hyperlocomotion

Hyperlocomotion is an effect induced by dopamine releasing agents and psychostimulants like amphetamine and methamphetamine and by NMDA receptor antagonists and dissociative hallucinogens like dizocilpine (MK-801) and phencyclidine (PCP). [1] [2] [3] [5] Stimulation of locomotor activity is thought to be mediated by increased signaling in the nucleus accumbens. [6] [7]

Drug-induced hyperlocomotion can be reversed by various drugs, such as antipsychotics acting as dopamine D2 receptor antagonists. [1] [3] Reversal of drug-induced hyperlocomotion has been used as an animal test of drug antipsychotic-like activity. [1] [3] Amphetamines and NMDA receptor antagonists likewise induce stereotypies, and reversal of these stereotypies is also employed as a test of drug antipsychotic-like activity. [1] [3]

Certain antidepressants, including the dopamine reuptake inhibitors (DRIs) amineptine, bupropion, and nomifensine, also increase spontaneous locomotor activity in animals. [4] [8] Conversely, many other antidepressants do not do so, and instead often actually show behavioral sedation in this test. [4] [6] [9] Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been reported to have no effect or to increase locomotor activity, at least under certain circumstances like novel environments. [10] [11] [12] The dopamine reuptake inhibitor cocaine increases locomotor activity similarly to amphetamines. [5] Atypical dopamine reuptake inhibitors like modafinil do not produce hyperlocomotion in animals. [5] Direct dopamine receptor agonists like apomorphine show biphasic effects, decreasing locomotor activity at low doses and increasing locomotor activity at high doses. [6] Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs), like atomoxetine, reboxetine, desipramine do not increase locomotor activity and either have no effect or can decrease it. [13] [11] [12] [14] In addition, NRIs decrease amphetamine-, cocaine-, methylphenidate-, and PCP-induced hyperlocomotion. [15] [16] Accordingly, atomoxetine has been reported to attenuate the stimulant and rewarding effects of dextroamphetamine in humans. [17] [18]

Serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonists like volinanserin (MDL-100907) and ketanserin counteract the hyperactivity induced by amphetamine, cocaine, and NMDA receptor antagonists like PCP in animals. [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] Less-selective serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonists, like trazodone, have been found to decrease locomotor and behavioral activity and to inhibit amphetamine-, cocaine-, and PCP-induced hyperactivity in animals similarly. [22] [26] [27] [28] [29] [4] In addition to serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonists, serotonin 5-HT2A receptor biased agonists that selectively activate the β-arrestin pathway but not the Gq pathway, like 25N-N1-Nap, have been found to antagonize PCP-induced locomotor hyperactivity in rodents. [19] Although serotonin 5-HT2B receptor antagonists by themselves do not appear to affect locomotor activity, [30] antagonists of the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor decrease the locomotor hyperactivity of amphetamine, cocaine, and PCP. [31] [32] [33] [34]

Serotonin releasing agents

Certain serotonin releasing agents (SRAs), like MDMA and MDAI, though notably not others, like chlorphentermine, fenfluramine, and MMAI, [35] [36] [37] induce locomotor hyperactivity in animals. [38] [39] [40] [41] This is dependent on serotonin release allowed for by the serotonin transporter (SERT) and serotonin 5-HT2B receptor. [42] [39] [40] [43] [44] SERT knockout, pretreatment with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) (which block MDMA-induced SERT-mediated serotonin release), or serotonin 5-HT2B receptor knockout (which likewise blocks MDMA-induced serotonin release), all completely block MDMA-induced locomotor hyperactivity. [42] [39] [40] [43] [44] In addition, locomotor hyperactivity produced by MDMA is partially attenuated by serotonin 5-HT1B receptor antagonism (or knockout) [42] [45] [46] or by serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonism. [47] [48] [49] The locomotor hyperactivity produced by MDMA is fully attenuated by combined serotonin 5-HT1B and 5-HT2A receptor antagonism. [48] Conversely, the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor is not involved in MDMA-induced hyperlocomotion. [39] Serotonin 5-HT2C receptor activation appears to inhibit MDMA-induced hyperlocomotion, and antagonism of this receptor has been reported to markedly enhance the locomotor hyperactivity induced by MDMA. [49] [48] [50] [51] Activation of the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor is known to strongly inhibit dopamine release in the mesolimbic pathway as well as inhibit dopamine release in the nigrostriatal and mesocortical pathways. [52] [53] [49] [54]

Although the serotonin system has been implicated in the hyperlocomotion of SRAs, certain SRAs, such as MDMA, are actually serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine releasing agents (SNDRAs), and catecholaminergic mechanisms are likely to additionally be involved. [55] [56] Relatedly, the α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist prazosin completely blocks MDMA-induced hyperlocomotion in animals. [57] [56] [58] In addition, the α1-adrenergic receptor antagonists prazosin and doxazosin reduce the psychostimulant and/or euphoric effects of MDMA in humans. [59] [60] [61] Similarly, the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) reboxetine, which prevents MDMA from inducing norepinephrine release, likewise reduces the stimulant effects and emotional excitation of MDMA in humans. [57] [62] Dopamine receptors also appear to be involved in MDMA-induced hyperlocomotion, although findings in this area, both in animals and humans, seem to be conflicting. [57] [63] [64]

The reasons for the differences in locomotor activity with different SRAs are not fully clear. [49] In any case, they may be related to factors such as whether the agents are selective SRAs, whether they additionally act as agonists of serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, and whether they additionally induce the release of norepinephrine and/or dopamine. [49] [65] [10] [42] [37] [66]

Other agents

Non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists, or antimuscarinics, such as atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine, produce robust hyperactivity in animals, but also produce deliriant effects such as amnesia and hallucinations in both animals and humans. [67] [68]

Similar effects

Other similar effects include stereotypy, exploratory behavior, climbing behavior, and jumping behavior. [69] [2] [3] Amphetamines induce stereotypies in addition to hyperlocomotion. [2] [3] Apomorphine induces stereotypy and climbing behavior. [2] The dopamine precursor levodopa (L-DOPA) induces jumping behavior. [2] These effects can all be reversed by antipsychotics. [2]

UWA-101 is a phenethylamine derivative researched as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease.

MDMA has been found in animal studies and reported in unauthorised human self-experiments to be effective in the short-term relief of side-effects of Parkinson's disease therapy, most notably levodopa-induced dyskinesia. However the illegal status of MDMA and concerns about its potential for recreational use, neurotoxicity and potentially dangerous side effects mean that it is unlikely to be investigated for medical use in this application, and so alternative analogues were investigated.

It has been investigated in animals as a potential treatment for cocaine dependence. The EC50 values of 5-chloro-αMT in evoking the in vitro release of serotonin (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and norepinephrine (NE) in rat synaptosomes were reported as 16 nM, 54 nM, and 3434 nM, with an NE/DA ratio of 63.6 and a DA/5-HT ratio of 3.38, indicating that it is a highly specific and well-balanced SDRA. However, 5-chloro-αMT has also been found to act as a potent full agonist of the 5-HT2A receptor, with an EC50 value of 6.27 nM and an efficacy of 105%. It is likely to act as a potent agonist of other serotonin receptors as well.

ISSN   2831-4425. The role of DA in the abuse-related effects of psychostimulants is well established in animal models. Still, deletions of DA D1, D2, and D3 receptor genes in mice had minimal impact on MDMA-induced locomotor activity,97 and DAT inhibition did not affect neurocognitive effects of MDMA in cynomolgus monkeys.98 In humans, D2 receptor antagonists reduced amphetamine-induced and MDMA-induced euphoria only at doses that produced dysphoria on their own.99 Therefore, it seems likely that systems unrelated to DA may be principally responsible for the acute effects of MDMA.40
