“…A number of studies have shown that D 1 -or D 2 -preferring antagonists inhibit cocaine self-administration, cocaineenhanced BSR, and cocaine-triggered reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior (Wilson and Schuster, 1972;de Wit and Wise, 1977;Koob et al, 1987;Bergman et al, 1990;Corrigall and Coen, 1991;McGregor and Roberts, 1993;Caine and Koob, 1994;Caine et al, 1995Caine et al, , 2002Self et al, 1996;Awasaki et al, 1997;Ikemoto et al, 1997;Kita et al, 1999;Spealman et al, 1999;Khroyan et al, 2000Khroyan et al, , 2003Hummel and Unterwald, 2002;Norman et al, 2002;Anderson et al, 2003;Sanchez et al, 2003; for reviews see Platt et al, 2002;Kapur and Mamo, 2003;Gorelick et al, 2004). Consequently, this raises the issue of whether the presently observed attenuating effects of NGB 2904 in these three behavioral paradigms might be attributable to D 1 or D 2 receptor-selective antagonism rather than to D 3 receptor-selective antagonism.…”
