Abstract:
:Rats may produce ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) in threatening situations. USV of adult male rats in association with aversive stimulation was evaluated as a screening method for anxiolytic drugs. The triazolobenzodiazepine alprazolam, the 5-HT uptake inhibitors fluvoxamine and clomipramine, the mixed 5-HT/NA uptake inhibitor imipramine, the full 5-HT1A receptor agonists 8-OH-DPAT and flesinoxan, the partial 5-HT1A receptor agonists buspirone, ipsapirone and BMY 7378, the alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine and the alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine reduced conditioned USV. The classical benzodiazepines (BZD) diazepam and chlordiazepoxide were ineffective or had a very low potency to decrease USV. The partial BZD receptor agonists bretazenil, alpidem and zolpidem, the BZD receptor antagonist flumazenil, the NA uptake inhibitors desipramine and maprotiline, and the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist ondansetron had no effect on conditioned USV. The dopamine-D2 receptor antagonist haloperidol reduced USV at a very high dose. In separate experiments the effects of these drugs on locomotor activity were assessed. There was, however, no direct relationship between effects on motor behaviour and USV. In conclusion, the sensitivity of conditioned USV to 5-HT uptake inhibitors and alprazolam versus the insensitivity to classical benzodiazepines and NA uptake inhibitors provides a very interesting profile, which closely resembles the psychopharmacology of panic disorder. Also the face validity of conditioned USV towards situational panic attacks is high. We therefore propose conditioned USV in adult male rats as a novel behavioural paradigm to screen for anti-panic drugs.
