The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of L 741,741 (0.75, 1.5 and 3 mg/kg, i.p), a selective D4 receptor antagonist, on social encounters between male mice using an ethopharmacological approach. Ten min of diadic interactions were staged between a singly housed and an anosmic mouse in a neutral area. These encounters were videotaped and the accumulated time allocated by subjects to ten broad behavioral categories was estimated. Besides other behaviors, the aggressive and motor behaviors were evaluated 30 min after injection using an ethologically based analysis. L 741,741 did not affect significantly offensive behaviors (threat and attack), as compared with the control group. Likewise, motor and anxiety-related behaviors (such as social investigation, avoidance/flee or defense submission) were not altered after drug administration. These results suggest that dopamine D4 receptor is not involved in the modulation of aggressive behavior. Aggr.

Dopaminergic transmission seems to be essential for the expression of aggressive behavior. In fact, most dopamine antagonists are effective antiaggressive agents. In this sense, the effects of D1 receptor selective antagonists (such as SCH 23390) on aggression have been analyzed. Overall, the results of these studies indicate that SCH has antiaggressive effects but only at doses that markedly depress motor activity [Arregui et al., 1993; Rodrı guez-arias et al., 1998], whereas at low doses it is clearly ineffective [Pedraza and n Correspondence to: José Francisco Navarro.

2 Effects of L 741,741 on Aggression 553 Navarro, 1999]. Likewise, it has been reported that all examined dopaminergic antagonists with an anti-d2 profile (such as haloperidol, chlorpromazine, pimozide, spiperone or tiapride) show strong antiaggresive properties, although they differ by the amount of motor impairment produced [Arregui et al., 1993; Navarro et al., 1993, 2000; Manzaneque and Navarro, 1997; Navarro and Manzaneque, 1997]. Moreover, neuroleptic drugs with a mixed profile anti-d1/d2 (e.g., zuclopenthixol) and anti-d2/d3 (e.g, sulpiride or amisulpride) also exhibit an antiaggressive activity in laboratory animal models [Redolat et al., 1991; Martı n- Lo pez et al., 1993; Manzaneque and Navarro, 1999a, 1999b]. Furthermore, the new dopamine D3 antagonist U A maleate has proved to present an antiaggressive action in mice [Rodrı guez-arias et al., 1999]. On the other hand, the presynaptic dopamine function also appears to be necessary for the normal expression of aggressive behaviors [Felip et al., 2001]. Although the role of D1 D2 D3 receptors has been extensively examined, there is no information in relation to the implication of D4 dopamine receptors in aggression. Recently, significant progress has been made in the development of selective D4 receptor antagonists [Oak et al., 2000]. However, published behavioral research on these compounds is as yet very limited and, to our knowledge, the effects of these substances on aggression have not been investigated. Therefore, the present study was designed to analyze the effects of L 741,741 (a selective D4 receptor antagonist) on agonistic interactions between male mice, using an ethopharmacological approach. This compund is a potent and highly selective D4 dopamine receptor antagonist, with Ki values of41700, 480 and 2.5 nm at cloned human D2, D3 and D4 receptors, respectively [Rowley et al., 1996, 1997]. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety albino male mice of the OF.1 strain (provided by CRIFFA, Barcelona) weighing g were used. Animals were housed under standardized lighting conditions (using a 12 h reversed cycle; white lights on: 20:00 8:00), at a constant temperature (211C) and food and tap water available ad lib, except during behavioral trials. Upon arrival in the laboratory, the subjects were allocated to two different categories. Half were housed individually in transparent plastic cages ( cm) as experimental animals. The remainder were housed in groups of five (in cages of identical dimensions) to be used as standard opponents and were rendered temporally anosmic by intranasal lavage with 4% zinc sulfate solution (Sigma Laboratories) on both 1 and 3 days before testing. Fighting in mice, as in most rodents, is closely related to olfaction. We used this type of opponent because it elicits attack but never initiates such behavior [Brain et al., 1981]. Consequently, fighting is always unidirectional, being easily quantified. All the experimental animals underwent an isolation period of 30 days before the behavioral test (isolation-induced aggression model). This experiment was carried out in accordance with the guiding principles for care and use of Laboratory Animals approved by the European Communities Council Directive of November 24, 1986 (86/609/EEC). L 741,741 (Tocris Laboratories) was diluted in physiological saline and DMSO to provide appropriate doses for injections. Four groups of mice were used. Individually housed animals were allocated randomly to one control group (n = 12) receiving vehicle (90% physiological saline and 10% DMSO) and three experimental groups (n = 11 each) receiving acute L 741,741 injections. Drug was administered acutely in three doses: 0.75, 1.5 and 3 mg/kg.
3 554 Navarro et al. Drug and vehicle were injected intraperitoneally in a volume of 10 ml/kg, being prepared freshly on test days. Thirty minutes after injection, an isolated animal and a standard opponent (marked with fur dye for identification) were confronted in a neutral area for ten minutes. This neutral cage consisted of an all glass area, measuring cm with a fresh sawdust substrate. Before the encounter, the animals were allowed 1 minute of adaptation to the neutral cage, remaining separated by means of a plastic barrier throughout this time. The social encounters were videotaped using a Sony-V8 camera. All tests were conducted under dim red light between the second and seventh hours of the dark phase of the artificial cycle of the animals. After each encounter, the neutral cage was washed out and the sawdust bedding was replaced. The tapes were analyzed using a microprocessor and a custom-developed programme [Brain et al., 1989] which facilitated estimation of time allocated to ten broad behavioral categories. The names of the categories and their constituent elements are as follows: 1. Body care (abbreviated groom, self groom, wash, shake, scratch); 2. Digging (dig, kick dig, push dig); 3. Non-social exploration (explore, rear, supported rear, scan); 4. Exploration from a distance (approach, attend, circle, head orient, stretched attention); 5. Social investigation (crawl over, crawl under, follow, groom, head groom, investigate, nose sniff, sniff, push past, walk around); 6. Threat (aggressive groom, sideways offensive, upright offensive, tail rattle); 7. Attack (charge, lunge, attack, chase); 8. Avoidance/flee (evade, flinch, retreat, ricochet, wheel, startle, jump, leave, wall, clutch); 9. Defense/submission (upright defensive, upright submissive, sideways defensive), and 10. Immobility (squat, cringe). A detailed description of all elements can be found in Brain et al. [1989]. This ethoexperimental procedure allows a complete quantification of the behavioral elements shown by the subject during the agonistic encounters. Only the behavior of the isolated animal was assessed. The analysis was carried out by a trained experimenter, unaware of the treatment of the groups. Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis tests were initially used to assess the variance of the behavioral measures over different treatment groups. Subsequently, appropriate paired comparisons were carried out using Mann-Whitney U-tests. The analyses were performed using nonparametric statistics since the criteria for parametric statistics were not met by the data. RESULTS Table I illustrates the medians (with ranges) of the accumulated times allocated to the broad categories described above. Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed that there were no significant differences between control and experimental groups in any of the behavioral categories examined. DISCUSSION The D4 R gene is composed of five coding exons and generates a 387aa protein. This gene appears to be highly expressed in the frontal cortex, amygdala, olfactory bulb, hippocampus, and hypothalamus [Oak et al., 2000]. Several selective dopamine D4 receptor antagonists have been recently characterized. Among these novel agents is L 741,741, a potent and highly selective D4 dopamine receptor antagonist. Functional studies have demonstrated that this ligand is a full antagonist which, in absence of intrinsic activity, potently attenuates

As Table I shows, no significant differences were found between control and experimental groups in the time spent in offensive behaviors (threat and attack) after L 741,741 administration. In a previous study, Garmendia et al. [1992] observed that clozapine showed antiaggressive effects with a minimal motor impairment in isolated mice. However, although clozapine has potent dopamine D4 receptor antagonist properties, it also displays high affinities for other dopaminergic receptors as well as a number of serotonergic (5 HT2, 5 HT6, 5 HT7) and a variety of other receptors (muscarinic, adrenergic, and histaminergic) [Manzaneque et al., 2002]. Our results using a selective antagonist compound of D4 receptors suggest that this receptor might not to be involved in the modulation of aggression. Motor behaviors were not significantly affected by the drug. The lack of motor effects found after L 741,741 administration is in aggreement with several behavioral studies showing selective D4 receptor antagonists do not alter spontaneus locomotion and other motor parameters [Merchant et al., 1996; Clifford and Waddington, 2000]. Furthermore, some of the behavioral categories analyzed in our study (v.g., social investigation, avoidance/ flee, defense/submission) have been frequently used to assess the anxiety-changing properties of drugs [Brain et al., 1991; Navarro and Maldonado, 1999; Maldonado and Navarro, 2001]. L 741,741 did not affect significantly any of the behavioral categories which are generally sensitive to anxiolytic or anxiogenic drugs, supporting the suggestion that selective dopamine D4 receptor antagonists are ineffective in the modulation of anxiety-related behaviors [Cao and Rodgers, 1997].
5 556 Navarro et al. In conclusion, despite the detailed behavioral profile obtained by ethological analysis, present results indicate that L 741,741 failed to significantly alter any aspect of behavior of the isolated male mice. Our inability to detect any behavioral effect of this compound strongly suggests that the dopamine D4 receptor is not involved in the modulation of aggression.
