Abstract Background Tardive dyskinesia TD is a major limitation of older antipsychotics. Newer antipsychotics have various other side effects such as weight gain hyperglycemia etc. In a previous study we have shown that an indolamine molecule expresses a moderate binding affinity at the dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT1A receptors in in vitro competition binding assays. In the present work we tested its p-toluenesulfonyl derivative TPBIA for behavioral effects in rats related to interactions with central dopamine receptors and its antioxidant activity. Methods Adult male Fischer-344 rats grouped as i Untreated rats TPBIA was administered . in various doses ii Apomorphine-treated rats were treated with apomorphine 1 mg kg-1 . 10 min after the administration of TPBIA. Afterwards the rats were placed individually in the .
