title: Pharmacogenetic study of anxiolytic effects of new cholecystokinin receptor antagonists in animals with different levels of emotionality.
abstract: Effects of two new peptide antagonists of central cholecystokinin receptors, GB-101 (0.05-0.40 mg/kg) and GB-115 (0.006-0.100 mg/kg), on the behavior of inbred animals differing by the reactions to emotional stress were studied in standard tests for evaluation of tranquilizers. The test drugs dose-dependently increased the total locomotor activity in the open field test in Balb/c mice and had no effect on the behavior of C57Bl/6 mice. GB-101 (0.4 mg/kg) and GB-115 (0.025 and 0.05 mg/kg) produced an anxiolytic effect on MR rats (but not on MNRA rats) in the elevated plus-maze and conflict tests. These data confirm anxioselective effects of the test compounds.
