摘 要:Aim:To examine the effect of GNTI [5′-guanidinyl-17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-6,7-dehydro-4,5α-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxy-6,7-2′,3′-indolomorphinan],a selective antago-nist for the kappa opioid receptor,in the MK-801(dizocilpine maleate)-inducedbehavioral model of psychosis in schizophrenia as a way to explore the involve-ment of the kappa opioid receptor in modulating psychotic symptoms ***:Two doses of MK-801(0.3 mg/kg and 0.6 mg/kg)wereadministered by systemic injection in mice to induce psychosis-like behavior as arodent schizophrenia model,preceded by an injection of different doses of *** locomotion and stereotypy were measured as the behavioral endpoints forquantitative ***:GNTI inhibited MK-801-induced hyperlocomotionand *** particular,GNTI showed differential modulation of stereotypyinduced by 0.3 mg/kg vs 0.6 mg/kg ***:Antagonism of kappaopioid receptors attenuates MK-801-induced behavior,suggesting a potentialinvolvement of the kappa opioid receptor in psychosis-like symptoms *** appears to be a useful pharmacological tool to explore thekappa opioid receptor function in vivo.
