Metoclopramide (N-(diethylaminoethyl)-2-methoxy-4-amino-5-chlorobenzamide) inhibits emesis in both laboratory animals (Justin-BesanGon & Laville, 1964) and man (Handley, 1967). Radiological studies have shown that in man it is capable of stimulating gastric emptying and intestinal motility (James & Hume, 1968); recent evidence suggests a possible clinical effectiveness in the treatment of migraine (Matts, 1974). Metoclopramide, like the anti-emetic butyrophenone derivative haloperidol, antagonizes apomorphine-induced stereotypy in animals (Hackman, Pentikainen & others, 1973) indicating possible involvement of central dopaminergic pathways in this response. In addition, haloperidol antagonizes the hypotensive action of dopamine in the anaesthetized dog (Sampson, Scroop & Louis, 1974) and it was therefore thought pertinent to study the effect of metoclopramide on the cardiovascular responses to dopamine. 14 Wistar rats of either sex, anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbitone (60 mg kg-l, i.p.) were used. The average mean blood pressure was 105mm Hg. Responses were measured as changes in mean blood pressure (mean blood pressure was calculated as diastolic pressure + 1 /3 pulse pressure). In untreated animals doses of dopamine in the range 0.3 to 3 pg kg-l produced transient depressor responses whereas higher doses (3 to 100 pg kg-' produced dose-related increases in mean blood pressure. Blood pressure responses to noradrenaline and isoprenaline were abolished by pretreatment with a combination of phentolamine (3 mg kg-l, i.v.) and propranolol (1 mg kg-l, i.v.). In rats so treated the pressor responses to dopamine were converted to dose-related depressor responses. Intravenous metoclopramide (0.1-10 mg kg-l) caused dose-related reductions in the depressor responses to dopamine (0.0241 mg kg-l, i.v.). After doses of 1 mg kg-l or more of metoclopramide the response to dopamine were changed such that the depressor response was reduced and a pressor component appeared (Fig. 1). The depressor responses to dopamine (0.1 mg kg-l) were progressively reduced by increasing doses of metoclopramide. After a total dose of 4.4 mg kg-1 of metoclopramide the depressor response to dopamine was abolished and was replaced by a small pressor response. Intravenous doses of metoclopramide (10 to 30 mg kg-l) produced short-lived falls in mean blood pressure which were unaffected by haloperidol (10 mg kg-l). Further studies in 6 rats indicated that metoclopramide at doses below 10 mg kg-' did not depress blood pressure responses to either noradrenaline or isoprenaline indicating a specific dopamine receptor antagonism.
