Abstract
In rats characterized by aggressive behaviour induced by apomorphine, only amantadine in doses of 10 mg/kg i.v. and 50 mg/kg i.p. induces a very slight aggressive effect, but in doses of 30 and 50 mg/kg i.p. it inhibits the aggressive behaviour induced by 1 mg/kg apomorphine. The effect is dose-related and it is more pronounced when amantadine (50 mg/kg i.p.) is injected 30 min rather than 1 h before apomorphine.
