Blockade of Striatal Dopamine D1 Receptors Reduces Quinine-Resistant Alcohol IntakeHouck, Christa A. 05 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Drinking despite aversive consequences, or compulsive drinking, is a criterion of alcohol use disorder and can be modeled in rodents by adding bitter quinine into alcohol. Previous studies have shown the development of quinine-resistant ethanol (EtOH) drinking following a drinking history, but used animals that achieved relatively low blood alcohol levels. Selectively bred crossed High Alcohol Preferring (cHAP) mice average over 250 mg/dl during a two-bottle choice procedure. Compulsive drinking is hypothesized to be D1-receptor mediated via the dorsolateral striatum (DLS). We hypothesized that 2 weeks of free-choice EtOH would lead to quinine resistance and intra-DLS infusion of a D1-antagonist, SCH23390, would attenuate quinine-resistant alcohol drinking with no effect on non-conflicted EtOH drinking. Infusion of SCH23390 into the DMS would not affect quinine-resistant drinking.
cHAP mice had guide cannulae placed in the DLS or DMS and had either two weeks (2W) of EtOH and water two-bottle choice or were EtOH naïve (0W). Mice were infused with either SCH23390 or saline immediately prior to one 10% EtOH and water test day and SCH23390 did not disturb alcohol drinking. The following day, we adulterated the EtOH with 0.32-g/L quinine (0.89 mM), and mice received the same microinjection. For animals cannulated in the DLS, 2W history group infused with saline drank more quinine-adulterated EtOH than the 0W saline mice. While SCH23390 infused 0W animals looked no different from saline treated mice, it attenuated quinine + EtOH intake in the 2W animals to the level of 0W animals. Interestingly, DMS-cannulated mice demonstrated similar behavior, with SCH23390 reducing EtOH + quinine consumption, while leaving EtOH consumption undisturbed.
Quinine resistance following 2 weeks of free-choice EtOH consumption is attenuated by acute administration of a D1-antagonist in the DLS, suggesting that an alcohol history induces compulsivity and that dopamine contributes to this behavior. This is unique to compulsive drinking, as non-conflicted EtOH drinking was unaffected.

A Single Alcohol Pre-exposure Alters Dorsolateral Striatal AMPA Receptor Dependent Binge and Compulsive-like DrinkingBauer, Meredith R. 12 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Background
Compulsive alcohol drinking is a defining characteristic of alcohol use disorder and the dorsolateral striatum (DLS) is implicated in regulating this inflexible behavior. AMPA receptors have been implicated in both goal-directed (dorsomedial striatal dependent) and DLS dependent inflexible behaviors with antagonism in the DLS and general DLS inhibition altering inflexible behavior including habit and compulsion. Discrepancies exist in the preclinical models used to investigate compulsive-like alcohol. The purpose of these experiments was to establish a robust model of compulsive-like quinine adulterated alcohol (QuA) drinking in C57BL/6J male and female mice, assess associated AMPA receptor protein expression in the dorsal striatum, and to antagonize DLS AMPA receptors during compulsive-like QuA drinking using a model of binge-like alcohol drinking, Drinking-in-the-Dark (DID).
Methods
In aim 1, C57BL/6J mice were allowed free access to 20% (v/v) alcohol (alcohol history), or water (water history) for two hours each day beginning three hours into the dark cycle for 23 days. On days 15 and 22 mice were given QuA to test for compulsive-like QuA drinking. 24-hours following the last DID session brain slices were taking for DLS and DMS AMPA receptor western blot. In aim 2, C57BL/6J mice were given a total of 21 days alcohol history, to establish a compulsive-like phenotype, or water history, prior to infusion. On days 22 and 24 mice were given a bilateral infusion of one of three concentrations of NBQX, an AMPA receptor antagonist, into the DLS, immediately prior to DID where the DID solution was either alcohol or QuA.
Results
We found that three weeks, not two, is sufficient to produce robust compulsive-like QuA drinking in C57BL/6J mice. We failed to replicate our compulsive-like DID model in aim 2 and found that infusion of NBQX reduced 2-hour alcohol drinking and reduced 2-hour QuA drinking when QuA was the second solution presented on infusion days in male water history mice only. We also found that NBQX reduced 20-minute front-loading in female alcohol history mice on alcohol intake and trended toward QuA intake. Overall locomotor activity was affected by drug infusions.
Conclusions
Together, these data suggest that compulsive-like alcohol drinking can be achieved following three-weeks DID and DLS infusion of NBQX reduces both alcohol and QuA drinking in a sex and drinking history dependent way, and these effects may be reliant on an initial single QuA or alcohol exposure.

Separation of racemates via host-guest chemistrySebogisi, Baganetsi Karabo January 2012 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Chemistry))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012. / Chirality is very important to the pharmaceutical industry as enantiomers have the same
macroproperties except for their optical and pharmacological activity. Industrial research has thus
focused to find the most effective resolution technique. However, our aim was to obtain more
information regarding the discrimination process. In this project the structures of the hydrates of diquininium
L-malate, (2QUIN+)(L-MA2-)·2H20 and the di-quininium O-malate, (2QUIN+)(D-MA2-)·2H20 have been investigated. (-)-Quinine (QUIN) did not show selectivity between the 0 and L
malic acid and the structure of (2QUIN+)(DL-MA2-)·2H20 was obtained. Effect of solvents was
demonstrated in the study and the structure of (QUIN+)(D-MA-)·H20) was reported. The
relationship between C-O bonds of the carboxylate and carboxylic moieties and L'lpKa was
explored in salt and co-crystal formation.
Kinetics of absorption was conducted for the reaction of (+)-deoxycholic acid (DCA) with npropylamine
and DCA with racemic sec-butylamine. The rate constants of the reactions were
determined. Kinetics of desolvation was performed on the powder samples of mixtures of DCA and
sec-butylamine and DCA with di-n-butylamine. Non-isothermal methods were used where a series
of TG analyses was carried out at different heating rates (2, 4, 10, 32 K rnin'). The structures of
DCA with n-propylamine and di-n-butylamine were elucidated.
The selectivity of DCA was investigated. The host compound was found to be able to successfully
resolve racemic sec-butylamine (2-BUAM) and 2-amino-3-methylbutane (MeBUAM). The
structures of DCA with enantiomers of these guests are reported in the study. The structures of RBUAM
and S-BUAM were solved in different space groups while R-MeBUAM and S-MeBUAM
crystallized in the same space group.

Mn-mediated radical coupling toward synthesis of alpha, alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino esters and formal synthesis of quinineJi, An 01 July 2011 (has links)
Chiral alpha-branched amines are common substructures of bioactive synthetic targets such as alkaloids and amino acids. Direct asymmetric amine synthesis by addition to the C=N bond of carbonyl imino derivatives is promising and efficient to introduce the stereogenic center and carbon-carbon bond in one step. Furthermore, disconnection of either C-C bond at the amine stereogenic center would be the most versatile method to achieve this objective; we could make the choice depending on the different synthetic strategies, such as the availability of precursors and the presence of complicating structural features.
In our group, we disclosed that manganese carbonyl mediates stereoselective photolytic radical addition of alkyl iodides to chiral imino acceptors, which is a powerful tool to form a new C-C bond and generate a chiral center. Qualitative mechanistic studies confirm the importance of free radicals, imply that this is a nonchain (or short chain length) free-radical process, and reveal that organomanganese compounds are not a viable source of alkyl radical for the addition reactions under the conditions in our lab. In my thesis, we have extended the application of our methodology.
At the beginning of my research, our Mn-mediated addition methodology was first applied to accomplish the couplings of iodides and ketone N-acylhydrazones, generating quaternary carbon stereocenters and offering access to a variety of alpha-alkylated alanine analogs. These radical additions complement enolate alkylation methodologies, as they occur under nonbasic conditions and permit introduction of both primary and secondary alkyl groups with relative ease. The versatility with respect to the iodide is a distinguishing feature of the Mn-mediated coupling that foreshadows application to more complex targets.
Secondly, a Mn-mediated radical-ionic annulation strategy was validated as a synthetic route to quinine. Intermolecular radical addition to C=N bonds has rarely been applied as a strategic bond construction in natural product synthesis; this synthesis of quinine offers the strongest demonstration yet of the utility of such reactions in application toward complex multifunctional targets.

Facial expressions and other behavioral responses to pleasant and unpleasant tastes in cats (Felis silvestris catus)Hanson, Michaela January 2015 (has links)
The behavior and facial expressions performed by cats have been reported to be visibly affected by the perceived taste quality of a food item. The goal of the present study was to assess how cats react to pleasant and unpleasant tastes. The facial and behavioral reactions of 13 cats to different concentrations of L-Proline and quinine monohydrochloride as well as mixtures with different concentrations of the two substances were assessed using a two-bottle preference test. The cats were videotaped during the tests and the frequency and duration of 50 different behaviors was analyzed in Noldus the Observer XT. The cats responded to tastes regarded as pleasant by having their eyes less than 50 % open for significantly longer periods of time compared to a water control. Tongue protrusions were also observed significantly more frequently when the cats sampled from a solution with a preferred taste compared to a water control. When encountering solutions of quinine monohydrochloride or mixtures containing quinine monohydrochloride the cats were observed to perform tongue protrusion gapes much more frequently compared to a water or L-Proline control. Even though the cats did not significantly differ in the number of times they licked at spouts containing the 50 mM L-Proline and 500 mM quinine monohydrochloride mixture compared to a 50 mM L-Proline, no masking effect could be confirmed as there was no increase in the acceptance of the mixture was observed. The present study suggests that the knowledge about behavioral responses to pleasant or unpleasant taste can be utilized in future studies on how cats perceive different tastes.

Role of the Prefrontal Cortex to Dorsomedial Striatum Projections in Compulsive Alcohol DrinkingMeredith Rose Bauer (9636125) 03 January 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Compulsive alcohol drinking is a defining feature of alcohol use disorder and is characterized as drinking alcohol despite knowledge of negative consequences. This behavior is hypothesized to be due to a disruption in the decision-making process. Decision making relies on a balance between goal-directedness and habit systems to efficiently execute behavior. An important distinction between compulsive and non-compulsive individuals is the ability to withhold drinking in the face of a negative consequence. The dorsomedial striatum (DMS) and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) are brain regions necessary for goal directed behavior where the dmPFC is important for cognitive control and behavioral inhibition while the DMS is important for action selection. Importantly, the dmPFC sends a glutamatergic input to the DMS. We hypothesize this input is a behavioral control which is necessary to withhold action selection. Thus, in order to maintain non-compulsive alcohol use, the dmPFC and DMS need to work together to orchestrate inhibition of action selection in the face of negative consequences. Previous research shows a causal role for both the dmPFC and DMS in preventing compulsive alcohol drinking and a role for the projections from the dmPFC to DMS in behavioral inhibition. However, no research has demonstrated a role for this circuit’s activity in prevention of compulsive alcohol use. The current experiment tested the hypothesis that inhibiting the glutamatergic projection from the dmPFC to the DMS will cause non-compulsive Wistar rats to drink alcohol compulsively.</p>
