The central action of intraventricularly (ivc) administered propranolol and phentolamine in rat. 1975

Z Kleinrok, and A Ksiazek, and K Przesmycki, and K Kolasa

Propranolol (100mug) ivc together with phentolamine (60 mug) decreased spontaneous locomotor activity and weakened post-nialamide locomotor activity in rat. When applied separately in the above doses, neither of the two compounds had this action. Depression of amphetamine-induced locomotor activity was observed after propranolol (250 mug) together with phetolamine (60 mug). Phentolamine alone, had hypothermic action but when applied together with propranolol, it increased after 4 hrs body temperature. The tested compounds prolonged hexobarbital-induced sleeping time but did not affect noradrenaline or dopamine levels in rat's brain.

D009526 Nialamide An MAO inhibitor that is used as an antidepressive agent.
D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.
