TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Pharmacological activity of the new adamantane derivative--potential antiparkinson preparation during subchronic administration JO - Eksperimental'naia i Klinicheskaia Farmakologiia A1 - Val'dman, E. A. SP - 3 EP - 6 VL - 63 IS - 5 N2 - The effect of a new potential antiparkinsonian drug, N-(2-adamantyl)hexamethyleneimine hydrochloride (A-7), upon some behavioral parameters was studied in rats after subchronic 14-day treatment. Also studied was the effect of abrupt termination of a prolonged (22-day) drug administration. The subchronic treatment with A-7 at a dose of 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg did not produce significant changes in coordination, explorative behavior, muscle tone, and aggression level. At the same time, the 14-day treatment with A-7 at a dose of 10 mg/kg increased the pain threshold; A-7 at a dose of 40 mg/kg (but not 10 or 20 mg/kg) increased the spontaneous motor activity. Upon abrupt termination of the drug administration after a prolonged treatment sensitivity of the test animals with respect to the MFTP neurotoxin as compared to that observed in the non-drug control group.
