Dizocilpine (MK-801; 0.3 mg/kg i.p.)-induced disruption in prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response (PPI) can be preferentially restored by "atypical" antipsychotics. In contrast, some findings indicate that not all of the "atypical" antipsychotics, such as clozapine and risperidone, are effective in restoring the NMDA antagonist-induced deficits in PPI. In our study, we evaluated the effect of four different "atypical" antipsychotic drugs on deficits in PPI induced by MK-801. Zotepine and risperidone have high affinities to D2-like and 5-HT2A receptors, while clozapine and olanzapine have multipharmacological profiles with the highest affinities to serotonin 5-HT1A,2A/2C receptors and muscarinic receptors. Results have shown that MK-801 disrupted PPI and increased the ASR in rats. Our results showed no effect of zotepine (1 and 2 mg/kg) and risperidone (0.1 and 1 mg/kg) on disrupted PPI by MK-801. Administration of clozapine (5 and 10 mg/kg) and olanzapine (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) restored the deficits in PPI induced by MK-801. Additionally, we found a decrease of approximately 46% in PPI after administration of clozapine (5 mg/kg) and olanzapine (2.5 and 5 mg/kg) without MK-801 treatment. In summary, the four "atypical" antipsychotics had different efficacies to restore the disrupted PPI by MK-801. Only clozapine and olanzapin restored the MK-801-induced deficits in PPI.
