Selfotel (CGS 19755) administered p.o. by gavage has little or no effect in these test procedures. In an experimental model of anxiety in rats[1].
Selfotel (CGS 19755) significantly increases conflict responding within a relatively narrow dose range (minimum effective dose, 1.73 mg/kg i.p.)[1].
Selfotel (CGS 19755) blocks the harmaline-induced increase in cerebellar cyclic GMP levels at a dose of 4 mg/kg i.p. with duration of action exceeding 2 hr[2].
Selfotel (CGS 19755) inhibits convulsions elicited by maximal electroshock in rat (ED50 = 3.8 mg/kg i.p. 1 hr after administration) and in mouse (ED50 = 2.0 mg/kg i.p. 0.5 hr after administration)[2].
