- Rats are trained on a variable interval 30 sec schedule (VI30) to press a lever in order to obtain food reward.
- the 5 min sessions of the VI30 schedule alternate with 2-5 min of a schedule (FR5) in which every 5th lever press is followed by presentation of a food pellet paired with a 0.5 sec mild footshock.
- the total study lasts approximately 30 mins. Rats typically respond with high rates of lever pressing under the VI30 schedule and low response rates under the FR5 'conflict' session.
- Anxiolytic drugs increase the suppressed response rates of rats in a 'conflict' session.
- Drugs are administered intraperitoneally or orally to groups of 3-8 rats 30 to 60 mins before testing.
- results are expressed as the percentage increase in the square root of the total number of lever presses in the FR5 'conflict' session.
- Square root transformation is necessary to normalise the data for statistical analysis using parametric methods.
- the compound of Example 4 showed a significant increase in responding in the 'conflict' session at a dose of 10mg/kg p.o.
- the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) test in rodents is one of the most widely used models of human grand mal epilepsy 1 .
- anticonvulsant agents elevate the threshold to electrically-induced seizures whilst proconvulsants lower the seizure threshold.
- mice Male, Charles River, U.K. CD-1 strain, 25-30g are randomly assigned to groups of 10-20 and dosed orally or intraperitoneally at a dose volume of 10ml/kg with various doses of compound (1-100 mg/kg) or vehicle. Mice are then subjected at 30 or 60 min post dose to a variable voltage electroshock (0.1 sec, 50 Hz, sine wave form) via a buccal and a subcutaneous electrode.
- a variable voltage electroshock 0.1 sec, 50 Hz, sine wave form
- the CV50 is usually 40 - 50V.
- the first animal in the control group is subjected to a voltage of 45V. If a tonic seizure does not ensue, the voltage is increased for a subsequent mouse. If a tonic convulsion does occur, then the voltage is decreased, and so on until all the animals in the group have been tested.
- the percentage increase or decrease in CV50 for each group compared to the control is calculated.
- the X-maze test of anxiety examines the exploratory response of naive rats in an environment which offers both anxiogenic (open arms) and relatively non-anxiogenic (closed arms) areas. A selective increase in exploration of the open arms following drug pretreatment is therefore postulated to indicate anxiolytic effects.
- the X-maze was raised 70cm above the floor and consisted of two enclosed arms 45cm (long) x 15cm (wide) x 10cm (high) and two open arms 45 x 10 x 1cm arranged such that the two arms of each type were opposite each other. Both arm types were marked into two equal sections. Rats were placed onto the centre of the X-maze and observed for a period of 10 minutes during which time the following parameters were recorded: 1) the number of entries onto, and the time spent on, (a) open arms, (b) closed arms, (c) end of open arms and (d) end of closed arms. 2) the number of sections crossed.
- the fear-drive evoked in the open arms exceeds that in the enclosed arms and rats typically show a clear preference for the enclosed arms.
- Anxiolytic drugs increase the number of entries made onto, and the time spent on, the outer half of the open arms, and also the percentage of entries made onto, and the time spent on, the whole of the open arms.
- Drugs are administered intraperitoneally or orally to groups of 6 to 12 rats 30 to 60 mins before testing. Statistical comparisons between vehicle- and drug-treated groups were made using a Mann- Whitney 'U' test (two tailed).
- the compound of Example 21 caused a significant increase in open arm entries at a dose of 30 mg/kg p.o.
