The current study investigates the action of anxiolytics, antidepressants, neuroleptics, antipyretics, muscle relaxants, antihypertensives and naloxone in a novel animal model of anxiety, based on the evidence that mice removed last from their cage develop hyperthermia (stress-induced hyperthermia, SIH) when compared to those removed first. Alprazolam (0.15-0.6 mg/kg), chlordiazepoxide (25 mg/kg), estazolam (1 mg/kg), phenobarbital (20 mg/kg), ethanol (2 and 4 g/kg), buspirone (5 and 10 mg/kg) and prazosin (1 and 2 mg/kg), as well as repeatedly administered diazepam (5 mg/kg), inhibited SIH. In contrast, tofisopam (12.5-200 mg/kg), desipramine (15 and 30 mg/kg), amitriptyline (10 mg/kg), fluoxetine (10 and 20 mg/kg), tranylcypromine (5 and 10 mg/kg), chlorpromazine (1 and 2 mg/kg), clozapine (2 and 4 mg/kg), pimozide (0.5 and 1 mg/kg), l-sulpiride (15 and 30 mg/kg), l-propranolol (5 and 10 mg/kg), acetyl salicylic acid (200 and 400 mg/kg), indomethacin (2.5 and 5 mg/kg), verapamil (2.5 and 5 mg/kg), captopril (25 and 50 mg/kg), dantrolene (10 and 20 mg/kg), mephenesin (300 and 600 mg/kg), d-amphetamine (1 and 4 mg/kg) and naloxone (2.5 and 15 mg/kg) were inactive, as were 10 mg/kg imipramine, amitriptyline and fluoxetine injected every day for 21 days. Reserpine at high doses (1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg) but not at a lower dose (0.62 mg/kg) prevented SIH, but in this case animals showed a behavioural syndrome which could have interfered with the occurrence of the hyperthermia.

Histamine releasing action of calcium ionophore 985-I.

Laboratory of Cytology, Institute of Immunology, Moscow, USSR.

The polyether antibiotic 985-I induced histamine release from rat and mouse mast cells and human basophils. Histamine release induced by low concentrations (10-50 microM) of the ionophore was a selective (noncytotoxic) process. It was energy and Ca2+-dependent and was potentiated by glucose. In this respect the mode of action of 985-I was similar to that of the Ca2+-ionophore A23187. On the other hand some pharmacological agents (phencarol, verapamil and amitriptyline) inhibited histamine secretion induced by 985-I but not A23187-induced histamine release. These data point to some differences between the mechanisms of action of 985-I and A23187.
