prolonged the intromission latency and inhibited ejaculation, which could be blocked by antagonist gabazine and CGP-35348, respectively. Vigabatrin, the GABA-transaminase inhibitor, caused a significantly reduced ejaculation frequency and extended ejaculation latency in rats, which could be offset by simultaneous injections of gabazine and CGP-35348. Our findings provide new understanding about GABA

blockade of the LH surge in 7 of 9 and 6 of 10 mice, respectively. In addition, these LH surges started much earlier than the surge induced by estrogen alone. However, 5 of 7 progesterone-treated mice did not show LH surge secretion after microinfusion with the GABAB receptor antagonist CGP-35348. Additionally, peripheral administration of kisspeptin-54 promotes LH surge-like release in progesterone

in phase 1 and BRG 19 had activity only in phase 2. E122 had no significant activity in either phase. In the hot plate test only E139 had antinociceptive activity. Administration of either bicuculline, a GABAA receptor antagonist, or CGP 35348, a GABAB receptor antagonist, blocked the antinociceptive activity of E139. In conclusion our results indicate that E139 has antinociceptive activity

involved in descending pronociception, we then interfered with local GABAB receptors using gene transfer and pharmacological approaches. Lentiviral-mediated knockdown of GABAB1a expression decreased nociceptive responses during the second phase of the test. Local administration of the GABAB receptor antagonist CGP 35348 also decreased nociceptive responses in the second phase of the test, whereas

in the genesis of this network hyper-excitability. We found that administering the activity-dependent GABAB receptor allosteric modulator GS-39783 to female Mecp2(+/-) mice at doses producing no effect in wild-type mice strongly potentiated their basal rates of spontaneous cortical discharge activity. Consistently, administering the GABAB receptor antagonist CGP-35348 significantly decreased basal discharge

Effect of GABAB Receptor Antagonist (CGP35348) on Learning and Memory in Albino Mice The present study was designed to demonstrate the potential effect of CGP 35348 (GABAB receptor antagonist) on the learning, memory formation, and neuromuscular coordination in albino mouse. Mice were intrapertoneally injected with 1 mg CGP 35348/mL of distilled water/Kg body weight, while the control animals were injected with equal volume of saline solution. A battery of neurological tests was applied following the intrapertoneal injections. Results of rota rod indicated that CGP 35348 had no effect on neuromuscular coordination in both male (P=0.528) and female (P=0.125) albino mice. CGP 35348 treated females demonstrated poor exploratory behavior during open filed for several parameters (time mobile

glutamate concentration in the LC, whereas another α2δ ligand, 3-exo-aminobicyclo [2.2.1] heptane-2-exo-carboxylic acid (ABHCA), did not. Selective blockade by the dihydrokainic acid or knock-down of GLT-1 by the small interfering RNA abolished the gabapentin-induced glutamate increase in the LC, whereas blockade of GABA-B receptors by the CGP-35348 and depletion of noradrenalin by the dopamine-β

nerve ligation rats was reduced by intrathecal pretreatment with atropine (30 μg), a muscarinic receptor antagonist; mecamylamine (100 μg), a nicotinic receptor antagonist; bicuculline (0.03 μg), a γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type A antagonist; and CGP 35348 (30 μg), a γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type B antagonist. ACh and GABA concentrations in the microdialysates from the spinal dorsal horn were

a targeted neuropharmacological, (1)H/(13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and metabolomic approach. While agonists at GABA(B) receptors (Baclofen and SKF 97541) generally decreased metabolic activity, mild agonist action could also stimulate metabolism. Less potent antagonists (CGP 35348, Phaclofen) significantly decreased metabolic activity, while more potent antagonists (CGP 52432 and SCH

, bicuculline methiodide (BM), a GABA(B)-receptor antagonist, CGP 35348, a peripherally restricted GABA(B)-receptor antagonist, CGP 54626, or saline had been administered IV. Third, BM, CGP 35348, or artificial cerebrospinal fluid was administered intracisternally before 1.0 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration of isoflurane exposure. During isoflurane anesthesia, nPes was inversely proportional

hypersensitivity, while there was no effect on heat hyperalgesia. This enhanced effect on tactile hypersensitivity could be partially blocked by a GABA(B) receptor antagonist (CGP 35348) but not by a muscarinic M(4) receptor antagonist (Muscarinic toxin 3) administered i.t. shortly before the 5-HT injection. In conclusion, there is evidence that the spinal 5-HT system plays an important role in the mode

, and CGP 35348. Porcine ACTH had no effect. GABABR protein expression was significantly increased in the thalamus and medulla oblongata of Ts65D mice in comparison with wild-type controls. The GABABR agonist-treated Ts65Dn mouse shows the unique clinical, electrographic, and pharmacologic signature of infantile spasms and represents a valid, acute model of this disorder. GABABR-mediated mechanisms may

to treatments. Interictal spiking and percentage of time in EEG slowing in heterozygotes were increased by the proabsence drug baclofen (GABA(B)-receptor agonist), whereas CGP 35348 (GABA(B)-receptor antagonist) had the opposite effect. The antiabsence drug ethosuximide markedly suppressed EEG slowing and interictal spiking in heterozygote and null mice. Broad-spectrum clonazepam and valproate were more

by two selective GABAB receptor antagonists, 3-amino-propyl (diethoxymethyl)-phosphinic acid (CGP 35348) (IC50 = 24.40 +/- 2.52 microM) and [3-[[(3,4-dichlorophenyl) methyl]amino]propyl] (diethoxymethyl) phosphinic acid (CGP 52432) (IC50 = 0.06 +/- 0.005 microM). 5. The inhibition of SRIF-LI overflow caused by 10 microM CGP 47656 was abolished by 1 microM CGP 52432. 6. When human synaptosomes were ) the nerve terminals releasing the neuropeptide possess inhibitory receptors of the GABAB type; (c) these receptors differ pharmacologically from the GABAB autoreceptors present on human neocortex nerve terminals since the latter have been shown to be CGP 35348-insensitive but can be blocked by CGP 47656.

in a competitive manner by the following GABAB-receptors antagonists (calculated pA2 values in parentheses): CGP 36742 (4.0), 2-OH saclofen (4.2), CGP 35348 (4.5), CGP 52432 (6.7) and CGP 55845A (8.3). Responses to SK&F 97541 were also antagonized by CGP 55845A (pA2 = 8.4). 4. The amplitude of the late, GABAB receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic potential (i.p.s.p.) was reduced by the GABAB antagonists as follows (means +/- s.e.mean): CGP 55845A (1 microM) 91 +/- 5%, CGP 52432 (1 microM) 64 +/- 5%, CGP 35348 (100 microM) 82 +/- 5%, CGP 36742 (100 microM) 76 +/- 8%, and 2-OH saclofen (100 microM) 68 +/- 3%. 5. It is concluded that neurones in the rat dorso-lateral septal nucleus express conventional GABAB receptors, which are involved in the generation of slow inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. CGP

by the specific GABAB receptor antagonist CGP 35348 (0.5 mM). 7. We conclude that activation of GABAB receptors in NRT leads to presynaptic autoinhibition of IPSCs in both NRT and relay cells, and to direct activation of a small linear K+ conductance. In addition our experiments suggest that reciprocal connectivity within NRT can be partially mediated by a small GABAB inhibitory event.

and picrotoxin, a GABAB-mediated hyperpolarization appeared. 5. Towards the end of the second postnatal week, bicuculline blocked the GABA-induced depolarization and revealed a small hyperpolarizing response which was blocked by the GABAB antagonist CGP 35348 (0.5-1 mM). 6. It is suggested that, during development, the GABA response was mediated through the conventional GABAA and GABAB receptors as well

with the GABAB antagonist, CGP 35348 3-aminopropyl-(diethoxymethyl) phosphinic acid (3-30 mg kg-1, s.c.) blocked the respiratory depressant effects of baclofen (3 mg kg-1, s.c.) in a dose-related fashion. 5. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of CGP 35348 (50 micrograms) blocked the respiratory depressant effects of baclofen. CGP 35348 given alone either i.c.v. or s.c. had no effects

as the effective dose ratio (EDR). The EDR will be 20 or greater for a centrally acting drug. 4. In the guinea pig, baclofen (3 mg kg-1, s.c.) and 3-APPi (10 mg kg-1, s.c.) inhibited capsaicin-induced cough by 50% and 35% respectively. The antitussive activity of baclofen was completely blocked by i.c.v. administration of the GABA-B receptor antagonist CGP 35348 (10 micrograms). Conversely, the antitussive effect of 3-APPi was unaffected by i.c.v. CGP 35348. However, systemic administration of CGP 35348 (30 mg kg-1, s.c.) completely blocked the antitussive activity of 3-APPi (10 mg kg-1, s.c.). In separate experiments baclofen alone (1 microg, i.c.v.) inhibited capsaicin-induced cough by 78%. 3-APPi (10 and 100 microg, i.c.v.) had no effect on capsaicin-induced cough in the guinea pig.5. In the cat

of baclofen on the N-type current was abolished by CGP 35348 (100 microM) and CGP 55845A (100 nM). The effect on the 'R' component was also antagonized by CGP 55845A (100 nM) although with a lower potency, but was not blocked by CGP 35348 (100 microM). 8. We conclude that the effects of baclofen on the various components of the HVA Ca2+ currents occur through different types of GABAB receptors. One receptor has a high affinity for baclofen (i.e. saturated by concentrations as low as 0.5 microM), is insensitive to CGP 35348, is coupled to the 'R' component and is responsible for a maximum 20% decrease in the total HVA Ca2+ current. The other receptor has a lower affinity for baclofen (i.e. affected by a concentration of 50 microM), is sensitive to CGP 35348, is coupled to the N-type Ca2+ current
