Abstract

The object of the study is 2‑methyl-3‑(phenylaminomethyl)-1H-quinolin-4-one. According to the results of the screening of a series of 3-(N-R,R’-aminomethyl)-2-methyl-1H-quinolin-4-ones it has been proven that in the dose of 100 mg/kg it has the high antidepressant activity in tail suspension test (TST) and prevents scopolamine-induced amnesia development in passive avoidance test (PAT). The present post-screening study was carried out with the purpose of dose-dependency detalization using the doses of 5, 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg in TST and PAT after scopolamine-induced amnesia. The comparison of experimental results of screening and post-screening studies has allowed revealing relationships between the activity and the amount of the substance introduced in a wide range of doses. According to the results of TST in both studies it has been concluded that the only dose of 2‑methyl-3‑(phenylaminomethyl)-1H-quinolin-4-one, which provides a considerable antidepressant activity, is 100 mg/kg. The comparison of PAT results in screening and post-screening studies has been shown that in almost all doses studied, except 5 mg/kg, 2‑methyl-3‑(phenylaminomethyl)-1H-quinolin-4-one significantly attenuate the amnesic effect of scopolamine. Therefore, the effective dose of 2‑methyl-3‑(phenylaminomethyl)-1H-quinolin-4-one for in-depth studies is 100 mg/kg with both activities (antidepressant and anti-amnesic) at their maximum.
