1 The ability of .gamma.-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to affect the release of [3H]-dopamine in rat brain synaptosomes prepared from corpus striatum, frontal cortex and hypothalamus and prelabelled with the radioactive catecholamine in the presence of desipramine was examined. 2 GABA (10-300 .mu.M) increased in a concentration-dependent way the basal release of [3H]-dopamine from striatum and cortical synaptosomes; however, its effect was much less pronounced in hypothalamic nerve terminals. 2,4-Diaminobutyric acid (DABA) mimicked GABA although less potently. 3 Neutral amino acids such as leucine, valine or .alpha.-aminoisobutyric acid (100-300 .mu.M) did not affect or increased minimally the release of [3H]-dopamine. 4 The GABA-induced [3H]-dopamine release was not prevented by the GABAA-receptor antagonists, bicuculline or picrotoxin. The GABAA-receptor agonist, muscimol (10-300 .mu.M), displayed only a very weak, not significant, enhancing effect on [3H]-dopamine release. The GABAB-receptor agonist (-)-baclofen (100 or 300 .mu.M) had no effect. 5 Three novel and selective inhibitors of GABA uptake, N-(4,4-diphenyl-3-butenyl)-nipecotic acid (SK and F 89976A), N-(4,4-diphenyl-3-butenyl)-guvacine (SK and F 100330A) and N-(4,4-diphenyl-3-butenyl)-homo-.beta.-proline (SK and F 100561) potently counteracted the enhancing effect of GABA on [3H]-dopamine release. Nipecotic acid also reduced the effect of GABA. 6 It is concluded that carriers for the uptake of dopamine and GABA may coexist on the same nerve terminal in the rat brain.
