Preclinical Behavioral Models for Predicting Antipsychotic Activity

Castagné, Vincent, Moser, Paul C., Porsolt, Roger D.·2009·Advances in Pharmacology

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a major psychiatric disease that is characterized by three distinct symptom domains: positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive impairment. Additionally, treatment with classical antipsychotic medication can be accompanied by important side effects that involve extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). The discovery of clozapine in the 1970s, which is efficacious in all three symptom domains and has a reduced propensity to induce EPS, has driven research for new antipsychotic agents with a wider spectrum of activity and a lower propensity to induce EPS. The following chapter reviews existing behavioral procedures in animals for their ability to predict compound efficacy against schizophrenia symptoms and liability to induce EPS. Rodent models of positive symptoms include procedures related to hyperfunction in central dopamine and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) systems and hypofunction of central glutamatergic (N-methyl-d-aspartate) neurotransmission. Procedures for evaluating negative symptoms include rodent models of anhedonia, affective flattening, and diminished social interaction. Cognitive deficits can be assessed in rodent models of attention (prepulse inhibition (PPI), latent inhibition) and of learning and memory (passive avoidance, object and social recognition, Morris water maze, and operant-delayed alternation). The relevance of the conditioned avoidance response (CAR) is also discussed. A final section reviews animal procedures for assessing EPS liability, in particular parkinsonism (catalepsy), acute dystonia (purposeless chewing in rodents, dystonia in monkeys), akathisia (defecation in rodents), and tardive dyskinesia (long-term antipsychotic treatment in rodents and monkeys).

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.
