Quipazine has a biphasic effect on slow wave sleep and reduces REM sleep rebound in REM sleep deprived rats. 1982

R Zak, and M Radulovacki

Rats implanted with electrodes for polygraphic recording were deprived of REM sleep for 24 hr. Following REM sleep deprivation animals were injected with quipazine maleate (7.5 mg/kg IP) and were polygraphically recorded for 48 hr. The results show that quipazine reduces REM sleep rebound and that it has a biphasic effect on slow-wave sleep: initial 6 hr suppression is followed by a delayed increase in the second 24 hr recording period. The initial suppression of slow-wave sleep we attribute to the stimulation of central serotonergic receptors while the effect on REM sleep rebound may result from quipazine's action on central catecholamines.

D012894 Sleep Stages Periods of sleep manifested by changes in EEG activity and certain behavioral correlates; they formerly included Stage 1: sleep onset, drowsy sleep; Stage 2: light sleep; Stages 3 and 4: delta sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, telencephalic sleep. In 2007, sleep stages were redefined by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) as: N1-N2 (sleep onset - light sleep), N3 (SLOW-WAVE SLEEP), and REM SLEEP.
