Effects of cannabidiol in animal models predictive of antipsychotic activity
Abstract
The effects of cannabidiol (CBD) were compared to those produced by haloperidol in rats submitted to experimental models predictive of antipsychotic activity. Several doses of CBD (15-480 mg/kg) and haloperidol (0.062-1.0 mg/kg) were tested in each model. First, CBD increased the effective doses 50% (or) ED50 of apomorphine for induction of the sniffing and biting stereotyped behaviors. In addition, both CBD and haloperidol reduced the occurrence of stereotyped biting induced by apomorphine (6.4 mg/kg), increased plasma prolactin levels and produced palpebral ptosis, as compared to control solutions. However, CBD did not induce catalepsy even at the highest doses, in contrast to haloperidol. Such a pharmacological profile is compatible with that of an "atypical" antipsychotic agent, though the mechanism of action is uncertain and may not be identical to that of the dopamine antagonists.

CBD could have an atypical antipsychotic profile.
“These effects were similar to those of clozapine, suggesting that CBD could have an atypical antipsychotic profile (65).”

CBD only increased prolactin levels at high doses (greater than 120 mg/kg).
“Moreover, CBD only increased prolactin levels at high doses (greater than 120 mg/kg, Table 2).”
From Translational investigation of the therapeutic potential of Cannabidiol (CBD): Toward a new age (2018) · cites this paper as [65]
CBD did not induce catalepsy, a motor impairment associated with antipsychotic extrapyramidal side effects in humans.
“As opposed to the latter, however, CBD did not induce catalepsy, a motor impairment associated with antipsychotic extrapyramidal side effects in humans.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
