title: [Are there glutamatergic, anti-GABAergic or antiglycinergic components in the action mechanism of adamantamines? Study of convulsions induced by amantadine or 1-adamantylcyclopentanamine in mice].
abstract: Convulsions induced on mice by a dose of 200 mg/kg i.p. of amantadine (Ama) or 1-adamantylcyclopentanamine (Ad1) were studied with tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine, desipramine, chlorimipramine), possessing antiglutamatergic properties, or with GABA-linoleamide, a centrally acting GABAergic drug, or with glycine-linoleamide, a centrally acting glycinergic drug, or with glutamic acid palmitamide, a centrally acting glutamatergic drug. The results of these studies could suggest the existence of important glutamatergic and anti-GABAergic components and, probably, of a slight antiglycinergic activity in the pharmacological action profile of the Ad1. Moderate glutamatergic and anti-GABAergic components could operate in the Ama's mechanism of action.
