Dexamisole antagonized the reserpine-induced hypothermia but was ineffective in the apomorphine-induced hypothermia in mice. It reduced ptosis produced by reserpine in mice but this effect was very weak. The effect of dexamisole on the amphetamine-induced hyperactivity depended upon the animal species. Dexamisole reduced the duration of immobility in the despair test in rats. It did not modify the 5-HTP-induced head twitch reaction in mice but produced stimulation of the hind limb flexor reflex in spinal rats. The latter effect was blocked by phenoxybenzamine but not by cyproheptadine and metergoline. Dexamisole also exerted a sedative and hypothermic effect. The above findings indicate that the pharmacological profile of dexamisole resembles in some respects that of tricyclic antidepressants; they also point out that this drug has a central noradrenergic activity.
