Recently, a variety of studies of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) treatment in adult cynomolgus monkeys primed with levodopa to express dyskinesia and in patients with PD showing involuntary movements have suggested that drugs possessing 5-HT1a receptor agonist activity, such as clozapine, buspirone, tandospirone, sarizotan, and mirtazapine, reduce the duration and intensity of dyskinesia (Bonifati et al., 1994
; Durif et al., 1997
; Durif, 1999
; Hadj Tahar et al., 2000
; Bibbiani et al., 2001
; Kannari et al., 2002
; Meco et al., 2003
; Olanow et al., 2004
). However, none of the 5-HT1a agonists so far examined is specific for 5-HT1a receptors; they possess other pharmacologically relevant actions. All interact with other 5-HT receptor subtypes and additionally with dopamine receptors, acting either as partial agonists or as antagonists (Eison and Temple, 1986
; Meltzer et al., 2003
; Bartoszyk et al., 2004
). For example, sarizotan, which has been shown to reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesia in MPTP-treated macaques, is a dopamine antagonist at dopamine D2/D3 and D4 receptors (Bartoszyk et al., 2004
). Likewise, tandospirone possesses antagonistic activity at D1 and D2 and
-1- and
-2-adrenergic receptors (Hamik et al., 1990
). Thus, the mechanism by which dyskinesia is suppressed is unclear. R,S-(±)-8-hydroxydipropylaminotetralin [(±)-8-OHDPAT] is another 5-HT1a agonist that also acts on dopaminergic and 5-HT7 receptors (Arnt and Hyttel, 1986
; Eglen et al., 1997
). In contrast, (R)-(+)-8-hydroxy-DPAT [(+)-8-OHDPAT], the more potent enantiomer of (±)-8-OHDPAT, is a highly selective 5-HT1a agonist lacking any marked activity on dopaminergic receptors (Middlemiss and Fozard, 1983
; Bjork et al., 1989
; Cornfield et al., 1991
), although it possesses some partial agonistic effects on 5-HT7 receptors (Tsou et al., 1994
; Wood et al., 2000
).
Recently coadministration of (±)-8-OHDPAT with levodopa was shown to inhibit the sensitization of rotational behavior produced by repeated administration of levodopa in 6-OHDA-treated rats. It also prevented the increase in levels of dynorphin and glutamic acid decarboxylase mRNA in the dopamine-denervated striatum that have again been proposed as markers of dyskinesia induction (Tomiyama et al., 2005
). These findings suggest that 5-HT1a receptors activation may prevent the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Consequently, we have evaluated the effects of (+)-8-OHDPAT on dyskinesia expression in MPTP-treated common marmosets previously primed with levodopa to exhibit involuntary movements. Changes in locomotor activity, motor disability, and dyskinesia were assessed following acute administration of levodopa and the D2/D3 agonist pramipexole. The role of 5-HT1a receptors was assessed by using the selective 5-HT1a receptor antagonist WAY-100635 [N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-2-pyridinylcyclohexanecarboxamide maleate.

Priming for Dyskinesia Induction
Eight weeks after MPTP treatment, animals were treated with 12.5 mg/kg levodopa methyl ester plus 12.5 mg/kg carbidopa by oral gavage on a daily basis (Iravani et al., 2003
). Carbidopa was administered 30 to 45 min before levodopa treatment. When animals became dyskinetic (between 28 and 56 days), daily administration of levodopa/carbidopa was changed to once a week. From this point on, subsequent once-a-week levodopa/carbidopa administration induced reproducible levels of dyskinesia identical to that produced at the end of the daily priming period.
Experimental Design
Drug Treatments. All doses used in this study were derived either from our previous studies in common marmosets (Iravani et al., 2003
) or were obtained from preliminary studies in which adjustments were made to commonly used drug dose ranges in rats.
The Effect of (+)-8-OHDPAT Alone and on Levodopa-Induced Locomotor Activity, Motor Disability, and Dyskinesia. After an acclimatization period of 60 min in locomotor activity cages, the effect of oral administration of levodopa alone or together with subcutaneous dose of (+)-8-OHDPAT on motor activity and motor disability was examined for a period of 5 h. Subsequently, (+)-8-OHDPAT (0.2, 0.6, and 2.0 mg/kg s.c.) was administered together with levodopa (12.5 mg/kg) plus the peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor carbidopa (12.5 mg/kg) by oral gavage. An equivalent volume of 10% sucrose solution was administered by oral gavage as levodopa/carbidopa control. Likewise, an equivalent volume of saline was administered s.c. as 8-OHDPAT control. There was a washout period of 2 days between each experiment.
The Effect of WAY-100635 on (+)-8-OHDPAT Together with Levodopa. To examine whether the effects of (+)-OHDPAT on motor behaviors were mediated by 5-HT1a receptor activation, the selective 5-HT1a antagonist WAY-100635 (1.0 mg/kg s.c.; Sigma-Aldrich) was administered 30 min before the administration of an intermediate dose of (+)-8-OHDPAT (0.6 mg/kg) and levodopa.
The Effect of (+)-8-OHDPAT on Pramipexole-Induced Locomotor Activity, Motor Disability, and Dyskinesia. To determine the effects of 5-HT1a receptor activation on the direct stimulation of dopamine D2/D3 receptors, we studied the effect of an intermediate dose of (+)-8-OHDPAT (0.6 mg/kg) (Tocris Cookson, Inc., Bristol, UK) on locomotor activity, motor disability, and dyskinesia evoked by a D2/D3 agonist, pramipexole (0.06 mg/kg p.o.). To avoid D2/D3 receptor-mediated vomiting response in common marmosets, pramipexole was administered 1 h after 1 mg/kg domperidone [4-(5-chloro-2-oxo-1-benzimidazolinyl)-1-[3-(2-oxobenzimidazolinyl)propyl]piperidine] pretreatment. In control experiments, an equivalent volume of saline was administered instead of (+)-8-OHDPAT.
Behavioral Assessment
Behavioral assessments including locomotor activity, motor disability, and dyskinesia were performed in activity cages equipped with an array of eight infrared photo sensors (Perspex fronted aluminum cages, 50 x 60 x 70 cm), The number of beam interruptions due to movement was counted and summed in bins of 10-min intervals using an analog-to-digital converter attached to an Intel-based compatible computer. Motor activity was measured over a period of 6 h and expressed both as the time course measuring the number of beam interruption occurring in 10-min time segments or as the total number of beam interruptions over the test period. Assessments of motor disability and dyskinesia were carried out using an observer rating scale as described previously (Iravani et al., 2003
).
On experimental days, motor disability (score 0 to 18) and dyskinesia (score 0 to 4) was scored every 30 min for a period of up to 300 min. The motor disability scores and dyskinesia (chorea, score 04; and dystonia, score 04) were either presented graphically as time course graphs or expressed as the mean total disability for each experimental day.
Data Analysis
Results are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. Data from motor activity was analyzed using a repeated measures one-way analysis of variance for comparison of the effect of different doses of (+)-8-OHDPAT with vehicle-treated controls at each time point. On obtaining a significant F-value, a Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test was performed. The nonparametric motor disability, chorea, and dystonia scores were compared using a Freidman's test followed by Dunn's multiple comparison test. When only two treatments were compared, a Wilcoxon matched pair test was used. All statistical analyses were performed using Prism version 4.0 software (GraphPad Software, Inc. San Diego, CA).

Effect of (+)-8-OHDPAT on Levodopa-Induced Motor Behavior. Administration of (+)-8-OHDPAT (0.2, 0.6, and 2.0 mg/kg) dose-dependently reduced levodopa-induced locomotor activity, although this was only significant at the highest dose of (+)-8-OHDPAT (2.0 mg/kg) used [levodopa alone, 8478 ± 1017, 6 h; 2.0 mg/kg levodopa + (+)-8-OHDPAT, 1776 ± 253, 6 h, p < 0.01; Fig. 2, a and b]. Activity was not significantly different from that observed in animals receiving vehicle treatment alone (vehicle 1172 ± 475, 6 h, p > 0.05). There was a dose-dependent shift of the peak motor response to the right (0.2 mg/kg: 240270 min; 0.6 mg/kg: 300360 min; and 2.0 mg/kg: no discernable peak response observed compared with vehicle-treated animals alone). The reduction of motor disability produced by levodopa administration was reversed dose-dependently by (+)-8-OHDPAT treatment. After administration of 0.2 and 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, motor disability was enhanced to a level not significantly different from that of vehicle treatment. (+)-8-OHDPAT (2.0 mg/kg) increased motor disability, and this was significantly greater than observed in vehicle-treated animals (total motor disability/5 h: vehicle, p < 0.01) (see Fig. 2, c and d) [total motor disability/5 h: levodopa alone, 91 ± 5; levodopa + 0.2 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 130 ± 8, p < 0.01; levodopa + 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 158 ± 5, p < 0.01; levodopa + 2.0 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 205 ± 4, p < 0.01] (Fig. 2c). At a 2.0-mg/kg dose of (+)-8-OHDPAT, movement was generally confined to the cage floor, and some marmosets developed a characteristic elevated hindquarter and head-down posture. Overall, animals displayed poor alertness and slow or absent reactions.
All of the doses of (+)-8-OHDPAT resulted in decreased levodopa-induced dyskinesia (both dystonia and chorea; Fig. 3); however, this effect was statistically significant only at 0.6 mg/kg [total dyskinesia score/5 h: levodopa alone, 19.7 ± 3.7; levodopa + 0.2 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 13.8 ± 2.1, p > 0.05; levodopa + 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 8.17 ± 3.15, p < 0.05; and levodopa + 2.0 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 18.2 ± 7, p > 0.05] (Fig. 2d). However, all of the doses of (+)-8-OHDPAT were found to significantly reduce chorea [Fig. 3, a and b; total chorea/5 h: levodopa alone, 20 ± 4; levodopa + 0.2 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 9 ± 2; levodopa + 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 4.2 ± 2; levodopa + 2.0 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 2.3 ± 1.2]. At the highest dose used, (+)-8-OHDPAT had no significant effect on dystonia expression [Fig. 3, c and d; total dystonia/5 h: levodopa alone, 13 ± 5; levodopa + 0.2 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 7 ± 2; levodopa + 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 7 ± 3.5; levodopa + 2.0 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 17 ± 8].

Effect of Pramipexole on Motor Behavior. Pramipexole (0.06 mg/kg p.o.) administration increased locomotor activity to a greater degree and for a longer duration than levodopa treatment. The pramipexole peak effects was reached later at approximately 120 to 150 min after administration (Fig. 4, a and b). Pramipexole induced a similar level of reversal of motor disability (Fig. 4, c and d) and expression of dyskinesia (Fig. 5; chorea and dystonia) as observed after levodopa administration.

Effects of WAY-100635 on Motor Behavior. Administration of WAY-100635 (1.0 mg/kg) with levodopa had no effect on motor activity or motor disability or dyskinesia. However, coadministration of WAY-100635 together with levodopa plus (+)-8-OHDPAT resulted in the return of dyskinesia to the level of levodopa alone (Fig. 6). The administration of WAY-100635 (1.0 mg/kg s.c.) fully blocked the effects of 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT on levodopa-induced locomotor activity [total motor activity/6 h: levodopa alone, 8478 ± 101; levodopa + 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT + 1 mg/kg WAY-100635, 6588 ± 1436, p > 0.05] (Fig. 6).
After WAY-100635 (1.0 mg/kg) pretreatment, the effects of 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT on motor disability was reversed significantly to the levodopa + vehicle levels [total motor disability/5 h: 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 158 ± 5; WAY-100635, 121 ± 5, p < 0.01, and from levodopa, 90.5 ± 5 total score for 5 h, to WAY-100635, 121 ± 5 total score for 5 h, p < 0.05].
WAY-100635 blocked the effect of (+)-8-OHDPAT on levodopa-induced dyskinesia (Fig. 7). Whereas the effect of (+)-8-OHDPAT on dystonia was not affected by WAY-100635 (Fig. 7, c and d), chorea intensity was restored to the level close to that of levodopa alone [total chorea/5 h: levodopa + vehicle, 20 ± 4; WAY-100635 + (+)-8-OHDPAT + levodopa, 12 ± 2.6 total score for 5 h, p > 0.05]. Reduction of chorea expression by (+)-8-OHDPAT was significantly reversed after WAY-100635 treatment [total chorea/5 h: levodopa + 0.6 mg/kg (+)-8-OHDPAT, 4.2 ± 1.9; 1 mg/kg WAY-100635 + 0.6 mg/kg + levodopa, 12 ± 2.6, p < 0.05] (Fig. 7, a and b).

There have been previous reports of the ability of other 5-HT1a receptor agonists to inhibit levodopa-induced dyskinesia in MPTP-treated macaques and in PD (Bibbiani et al., 2001
; Kannari et al., 2002
; Olanow et al., 2004
). Activation of 5-HT1a autoreceptors reduces the release of levodopa-derived dopamine in the striatum (Kannari et al., 2001
; Yamato et al., 2001
). Therefore, administration of (+)-8-OHDPAT (and other 5-HT1a agonists) may decrease dopaminergic activation of postsynaptic receptors resulting from exogenous levodopa administration. Indeed, the reduction in dyskinesia produced by (+)-8-OHDPAT was accompanied by an increase in motor deficits. Reduction of levodopa-induced locomotor activity by (+)-8-OHDPAT and its almost complete inhibition by the highest dose (2.0 mg/kg) suggest that 5-HT1a receptor activation prevents dopamine release. If so, then the reduction of motor activity and dyskinesia may both be due to a reduction of levodopa-derived dopamine activity. In contrast, Bibbiani et al. (2001
) found that the 5-HT1a agonist sarizotan did not significantly increase parkinsonian symptoms or reduce the antiparkinsonian effect of levodopa in MPTP-treated monkeys, which is at odds with the findings of this study and also with the findings of a clinical study conducted by Kannari et al. (2002
) using tandospirone. These authors showed that, although tandospirone was able to alleviate levodopa-induced dyskinesia, half of the 10 patients receiving this drug also experienced worsening of parkinsonian features. In a more recent study (Bara-Jimenez et al., 2005
), it was shown that coadministration of 2- to 5-mg doses of sarizotan with intravenous levodopa reduced levodopa-induced dyskinesia and prolonged its antiparkinsonian response.
There are reports that serotoninergic drugs can regulate the release of dopamine in the striatum (Guan and McBride, 1989
; Wong et al., 1995
; Sershen et al., 2000
), although there are conflicting reports on exactly how the activation of 5-HT receptors can lead to changes in striatal extracellular dopamine levels. 8-OHDPAT has been shown to selectively activate somatodendritic 5-HT1a autoreceptors in the dorsal raphe nucleus, inhibiting serotoninergic neuronal activity and thus reducing 5-HT release from the terminals (Hjorth and Magnusson, 1988
; Gobert et al., 1995
). This in turn can lead to the disinhibition of dopaminergic neurones and increase dopamine release in the striatum in nonlesioned rats (Dugast et al., 1998
; Ng et al., 1999
). Alternatively, 8-OHDPAT acting on 5-HT1a receptors can decrease dopamine release in the striatum (Santiago et al., 1998
) by inhibiting tyrosine hydroxylation and thus reducing dopamine synthesis (Johnson et al., 1993
). Therefore, the reason for (+)-8-OHDPAT worsening of motor disability may be a 5-HT1a-mediated reduction in levodopa-derived dopamine release. However, this is unlikely because (+)-8-OHDPAT similarly affected the motor responses to a dopamine D2/D3 agonist, pramipexole. When tested against pramipexole, (+)-8-OHDPAT exerted a significant inhibitory effect on pramipexole-induced locomotor activity and motor disability. The fact that (+)-8-OHDPAT was able to alter motor responses to a postsynaptic dopamine receptor agonist indicates that inhibition of levodopa-derived dopamine release is not the sole mechanism of action of (+)-8-OHDPAT. Furthermore, based on the similarities between the effects of (+)-8-OHDPAT on levodopa and pramipexole and the blockade by WAY-100635, 5-HT1a receptor activation also is unlikely to be involved in any alterations to the metabolism of levodopa.
8-OHDPAT may be a partial dopamine receptor agonist (Ahlenius et al., 1990
; Hajos-Korcsok and Sharp, 1996
; Matuszewich et al., 1999
); however, the possibility that (+)-8-OHDPAT might be acting as a dopamine receptor antagonist can also be discounted because the R-isomer of 8-OHDPAT, which shows little or no affinity for the dopamine receptors or partial agonism at 5-HT1a receptors, was used. A further possibility may be activation of 5-HT7 receptors by 8-OHDPAT. These receptors are postsynaptic and can be found in several brain areas, although mainly in the thalamus, hypothalamus, and cortical areas, but modest densities have also been shown in the limbic system, substantia nigra, dorsal raphe nuclei, and the striatum (Vanhoenacker et al., 2000
; Hoyer et al., 2002
). Whether or not this extends to the anti-dyskinetic property of (+)-8-OHDPAT is unknown, because there is no selective 5-HT7 receptor agonist currently available.
It is possible that (+)-8-OHDPAT may be acting on postsynaptic 5-HT1a receptors to inhibit striatal medium spiny projection neurons directly; however, the numbers of postsynaptic receptors in the striatum are reported to be low (Barnes and Sharp, 1999
). However, in a recent study it has been proposed that the antidyskinetic property of sarizotan is probably due to inhibition of the corticostriatal glutamatergic transmission, which leads to reduction of GABAergic output to the basal ganglia (Antonelli et al., 2005
). This study also suggests that, as well as being a potent 5-HT1a agonist, sarizotan may also be an agonist at dopamine D3 and D4 receptors and also act as a partial D2 agonist.
In conclusion, on the evidence of this study, (+)-8-OHDPAT lacks therapeutic potential in the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia because, although (+)-8-OHDPAT is able to significantly reduce dyskinesia, it worsens motor disability and reduces locomotor activity. In addition, the induction of serotoninergic behavioral syndromes and sedation/immobility, coupled with an unclear mechanism of action, are problems that remain inherent with its use.
