title: The anxiogenic action of FG 7142 in the social interaction test is reversed by chlordiazepoxide and Ro 15-1788 but not by CGS 8216.
abstract: The effects of FG 7142 were examined in the social interaction test, alone and in combination with chlordiazepoxide, Ro 15-1788 and CGS 8216. The anxiogenic action of FG 7142 (5 mg/kg) was reversed by chlordiazepoxide (5 mg/kg) and by Ro 15-1788 (10 mg/kg), but not by CGS 8216 (10 mg/kg). The profile of FG 7142 in this test and the pattern of its interactions with other compounds is similar to that of beta-CCE, but can be distinguished from that of Ro 15-1788 and CGS 8216. It is concluded that FG 7142, Ro 15-1788 and CGS 8216 may act via different sites to produce their anxiogenic effects.
