Abstract

The influence of the DA D-2 antagonist (-) eticlopride on cocaine- and DA D-2 agonist-induced behavioral effects was investigated by means of two series of experiments, in rats. In the first 10-day series, coadministration of (-) eticlopride (10 and 50 mu g/kg, SC) always potently inhibited cocaine (15 mg/kg, IP)-induced hypermotility but did not modify the penile erection (PE)-enhancement produced by the drug at the first injection; it actually counteracted the inhibitory effect of subchronic cocaine on PE. In the second series, (-) eticlopride, at the same doses, antagonized PE elicited by various DA D-2 agonists at nonstereotyping doses; when, along with PE, stereotyped behavior was induced, only the latter was inhibited by (-) eticlopride, which even increased PE.
