Dopamine D2 receptor preferring antagonists are powerful displacers of DP-5,6-ADTN from the striatum. Maximal displacement is followed by strong hypomotility. Displacement of the agonist by the D3 preferring antagonist U99194A is only partial and results in synergistic increases in locomotor activity. Superimposing haloperidol upon GBR12909 leads to a synergistic increase in striatal dialysate dopamine concentrations. This effect is absent when combining GBR12909 with the putative D3 antagonist U99194A.
