Abstract
Rats trained to discriminate between phencyclidine and saline vehicle were used to test various agents for their ability to mimic or block the phencyclidine cue. ketamine, dexoxadrol, tiletamine, and phencyclidine analogs were found to mimic phencyclidine's behavioral effects. Treatment with the adenosime receptor agonists N6-cyclohexyladenosine and L-phenylisopropyladenosine blocked the discriminative properties of phencyclidine. These results suggest that adenosine receptor agonists might be useful in treating phencyclidine-induced psychosis.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
