Research Activity :
“Effect of Agmatine on Nicotine Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice :- Modulation by a2-Adrenoceptor.”
Agmatine [2-(4-aminobutyl) guanidine] is an endogenous aminergic neurotransmitter that binds to multiple targets receptor in brain ex. N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor , inhibiting nitric oxide synthase (NOS), binding to a2-adrenoceptors etc. Its behavioral effects including antidepressant, antinociceptive, anxiolytic, anti-convulsant and implicated in the process of drug addiction. In present study, we used nicotine is an abused drug. It induces drug addictive behavior as demonstrated by conditioned place preference (CPP) experiments in animal. Agmatine which acts on nicotine CPP through the a2-adrenoceptor modulators ex. a2-adrenoceptor agonist Clonidine (30 µg/kg, i.p.), UK 14304 (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) and a2-adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine (5 mg/kg, i.p.), RX821002 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.). We observed that, agmatine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibited the nicotine CPP (1 mg/kg, i.p.) but due to a2-adrenoceptor modulators which alter the agmatine action. a2-adrenoceptor agonist increased the agmatine action and a2-adrenoceptor antagonist inhibited the agmatine action.
Thus present study clearly indicated that a2-adrenoceptor modulator alters the effect of agmatine on nicotine CPP.
