Effects of OM-853, a Novel Indolonaphthyridine Derivative, on Behavioral Responses in the Forced Swim Test in Rats

[摘要] References(15)Effects of OM-853 on behavioral responses in the forced swim test were studied. OM-853 significantly reduced the duration of immobility without any change in the exploratory activity. Imipramine also reduced the duration of immobility, but idebenone did not. On the other hand, vinpocetine enhanced the duration with a suppressive effect on ambulation. The anti-immobility effect of OM-853 was reversed by pretreatment with haloperidol. These results demonstrate that the effect of OM-853 on the swim test is different from that of idebenone and vinpocetine. Furthermore, the present results suggest that OM-853 may exert its anti-immobility activity through facilitated transmission of the dopaminergic and/or adrenergic systems.
