In vitro, PD 144418 reverses the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced increase in cyclic GMP (cGMP) in rat cerebellar slices without affecting the basal levels, suggesting that σ1 sites may be important in the regulation of glutamine-induced actions. PD 144418 potentiates the decrease in 5-hydroxytryptophan caused by Haloperidol in the mesolimbic region, but by itself has no effect in 5-HT and dopamine (DA) synthesis.
