title: [Psychopharmacological properties of three magnesium salts: pidolate, lactate and aspartate].
abstract: The psychopharmacological activities of three organic magnesium salts were estimated on the spontaneous and amphetamine-induced motility, the barbital-induced sleep and the NMDA toxicity of Swiss mice fed with a normal diet, rich in magnesium. Magnesium aspartate had a stimulant effect whereas lactate did not clearly modify the animal behaviour and pidolate induced a clear cut neurosedative effect. None of these salts afforded protection against NMDA toxicity, moreover, aspartate and lactate increased NMDA toxicity. These results indicate that depending on the anion, magnesium salts do not have the same psychopharmacological activities and that pidolate only seems to respect and enhance magnesium basic pharmacological properties.
