To determine whether this genetic disruption of RGS4 function can be replicated pharmacologically, CCG 203769 is tested for effects on Carbamoylcholine chloride-mediated bradycardia in conscious, unrestrained rats. Carbamoylcholine chloride (0.1 mg/kg, IP) produces a modest decrease in heart rate compared to that of a saline vehicle control. CCG 203769 (10 mg/kg, IV) has no significant effect upon heart rate when given alone. However, CCG 203769, administered immediately prior to Carbamoylcholine chloride, significantly potentiates the bradycardic effect (p < 0.05). Given the functional role of RGS4 in Parkinson’s disease models, CCG 203769 is tested in a pharmacologic model of D2 antagonist-induced bradykinesia. Raclopride administration in rats causes increased hang time in the bar test, which is rapidly reversed by doses of CCG 203769 ranging from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg. The lowest dose, 0.01 mg/kg has no effect, while 0.1 mg/kg produces a submaximal effect. The higher doses, 1 and 10 mg/kg, produce equivalent effects. Similarly, the raclopride-induced paw drag in mice is reversed by 0.1-10 mg/kg CCG 203769.
