Twelve pigeons key-pecked under a multiple variable interval 15-second, variable interval 150-second schedule of food reinforcement. Effects of two opioid drugs, buprenorphine and methadone, were determined alone and in combination with chronic daily administration of the antidepressants doxepin or bupropion. Methadone initially produced dose-dependent key-pecking rate reductions when administered acutely, prior to the session, while buprenorphine produced key-pecking rates that reached a plateau at 50-80% of baseline rate and were not reduced further by higher doses. Neither doxepin nor bupropion, given alone, had lasting effects on key-pecking rates. Chronic daily doxepin administration significantly attenuated methadone-induced response rate reductions. Bupropion reduced the effect of the highest methadone dose, but this effect was mitigated by the development of opioid tolerance. Unlike bupropion, doxepin interfered with the development of opioid tolerance. Neither antidepressant systematically altered effects of buprenorphine on key-pecking.

Single intraperitoneal injections of haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg) or sertralin (5 mg/kg) or 20 preexpositions of conditional stimulus before conditioning induced similar changes of passive avoidance reactions of rats. The combinative application of drugs (sertralin 1h and bupropion 30 min before conditioning) simultaneously enhancing activity of serotonin and dopamine in brain did not produce changes of passive avoidance reaction comparing with intact control. The results obtained showed that high selective drugs and analysis of latent inhibition of some parameters enable creation of pharmacological models and their use as instrument at experimental study of neurochemical mechanisms of attention.

This study examined the acute effects of the novel antidepressant drug, bupropion, on extracellular concentrations of dopamine (DA), its metabolites, and the serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA in the striatum and nucleus accumbens using on-line microdialysis in freely moving rats. Bupropion HCl (10, 25, and 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally) increased extracellular striatal DA in a dose- and time-dependent manner; 1 mg/kg did not affect extracellular DA. The maximal response occurred within the first 20 minutes (+76%, +164%, and +443% for each dose, respectively) followed by a gradual decrease to a stable but elevated level for the next 2 hours. This neurochemical response was strongly associated with bupropion-induced stereotyped behavior during the first hour but not during the subsequent 2 hours. Bupropion decreased DOPAC concentrations, increased 5-HIAA, and had variable effects on homovanillic acid (HVA) (decreases with 10 mg/kg and increases with 25 and 100 mg/kg). The increase in extracellular DA after bupropion (25 mg/kg) was blocked by tetrodotoxin and was therefore action-potential-dependent. Bupropion produced similar neurochemical responses in the striatum and the nucleus accumbens. These results suggest that increases in DA transmission contribute to the behavioral effects of bupropion and are consistent with a role for DA in the antidepressant effects of this drug. The partial dissociation between DA release and stereotyped behavior suggests that the relationship between neurotransmitter release and behavior may be complex.
