Acute administration of AM281 (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) shortened exploration time and improved memory performance, as did chronic administration of AM281 (0.62, 1.25, and 2.5 mg/kg).
Long term use of 2.5 mg/kg AM281 can increase the recognition index to 22.1, single dose use of 5 mg/kg AM281 can increase memory impairment to 8.5, while carrier treatment can increase it to 4.8. Administration of AM281 at a chronic dose of 2.5 mg/kg and an acute dose of 5 mg/kg can improve memory.
| Animal Model: |
Male NMRI mice with the weight of 25-30 g |
| Dosage: |
0.62, 1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg (chronic administration); 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg (acute administration) |
| Administration: |
Administrated i.p. every day concurrently with morphine except the day of experiment (chronic administration); Singly injected 40 min before second trial (acute administration) |
| Result: |
The simultaneous daily administration of AM281 with morphine significantly shortened the exploration time, as compared with morphine-dependent mice receiving vehicle.
Acute administration at a dose of 5 mg/kg, significantly augmented recognition index. |
