Cannabidiol inhibits the hyperlocomotion induced by psychotomimetic drugs in mice
Abstract
Cannabidiol is a non-psychotomimetic compound from Cannabis sativa. It is proposed as a possible antipsychotic drug, since it can prevent some psychotomimetic-like effects of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol or apomorphine. Therefore, the aim of this work was to test the hypothesis that cannabidiol would inhibit the hyperlocomotion induced by two psychotomimetic drugs, D-amphetamine or ketamine. Male Swiss mice received i.p. injections of haloperidol (0.15-0.6 mg/kg), clozapine (1.25-5 mg/kg) or cannabidiol (15-60 mg/kg) followed by D-amphetamine (5 mg/kg) or ketamine (60 mg/kg). Thirty minutes after the first injection, the distance moved in circular arena was measured during 10 min. In another group of experiments, catalepsy was measured 30 min after haloperidol, clozapine or cannabidiol injections. Cannabidiol, like clozapine but unlike haloperidol, inhibited hyperlocomotion without inducing catalepsy. Moreover, cannabidiol itself, unlike haloperidol and clozapine, did not decrease locomotion. In conclusion, cannabidiol exhibits an antipsychotic-like profile without inducing extrapyramidal-like effects.

CBD is able to decrease hyperlocomotion and pre-pulse inhibition (PPI) impairment induced by amphetamine in both mice and rats.
“Later, we showed that CBD is also able to decrease hyperlocomotion and pre-pulse inhibition (PPI) impairment induced by amphetamine in both mice and rats (67, 69) (Table 2).”

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.
