How to use
In Vivo:
After acute treatment, Zuclopenthixol (0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg)-treated animals exhibit ethopharmacological profiles characterized by a decrease in offensive behaviors without impairment of motor activity (0.2 mg/kg). In contrast, the antiaggressive action of the highest dose used (0.4 mg/kg) is accompanied by a marked increase of immobility. After subchronic treatment, no tolerance to Zuclopenthixol antiaggressive or motor activity is observed. Administration of Zuclopenthixol (0.7 and 1.4 mg/kg) significantly elevate MDA level compared to respective controls. Nevertheless, there is no difference between the two dose levels with respect to their effect on rat brain MDA level. Post hoc pairwise comparisons between the means of groups (n=12) receiving different dose levels of Zuclopenthixol reveal that administration of 1.4 mg/kg of Zuclopenthixol significantly reduces GSH level compared to both vehicle-treated and Zuclopenthixol (0.7 mg/kg)-treated animals (P<0.001). Nevertheless, the lower dose of the drug does not affect rat brain GSH level. Animals receiving 0.7 or 1.4 mg/kg of Zuclopenthixol exhibits significantly higher GSH levels than SCO treated animals. Administration of 0.7 mg/kg of Zuclopenthixol significantly elevated GSHPx activity compared to vehicle treated animals.
