Abstract
Introduction: The present study is aimed at investigation of the mechanism of action of a new 3-substituted thietane-1,1-dioxide derivative (N-199/1) exhibiting antidepressant properties, in several tests of neuropharmacological interaction.
Materials and methods: To study the mechanism of action of N-199/1, its effect on 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)-induced head-twitch response (50 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg), haloperidol-induced catalepsy (1 mg/kg), arecoline-induced tremor (6 mg/kg), picrotoxin-induced seizures (6 mg/kg) and hypothermia, induced by apomorphine (10 mg/kg) or L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA, 140 mg/kg), was assessed when administered singly to white outbred male mice at a dose of 2 mg/kg.
Results and discussion: N-199/1 reduced the number of head twitches, induced by 5-HTP (300 mg/kg), by 83% 45 min after 5-HTP injection; decreased the duration of haloperidol catalepsy by 1–32 s 15–45 min after haloperidol injection; attenuated L-DOPA-induced hypothermia by 0.7 °С and apomorphine-induced hypothermia by 0.6 °С at the timepoint of 30 min; reduced the duration and severity of arecoline tremor and did not affect the convulsive effect of picrotoxin.
Conclusion: N-199/1 acts on serotonergic, noradrenergic, dopaminergic and cholinergic neurotransmission and does not affect neuronal reuptake of monoamines or monoamine oxidase. The mechanism of action of N-199/1 is probably due to stimulation of serotonergic 5HT1A-receptors and/or blockade of 5HT2A/2C-receptors and/or α2-adrenergic receptors; dopaminergic and cholinergic receptors may also be involved.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess the involvement of the monoaminergic system in the antidepressant effect of a new 3-substituted thietane-1,1-dioxide derivative (N-199/1) using tests with several pharmacological antagonists and agonists.
Materials and methods: We conducted 3 sets of experiments in white outbred male mice. In Experiment 1, we assessed the antidepressant effect of N-199/1 in the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) when administered repeatedly for 2 weeks intraperitoneally (i.p.). In Experiment 2, we evaluated the antidepressant effect of N-199/1 in FST and TST when co-administered with 5HT1A- (WAY100635, 0.1 mg/kg), 5HT2A/2C- (ketanserin, 5 mg/kg), 5HT3- (ondansetron, 1 mg/kg) serotonergic and α2-adrenergic (yohimbine, 1 mg/kg) receptors antagonists. In Experiment 3, we assessed the effect of N-199/1 on the hypothermia induced by i.p. injection of α2-adrenergic receptors agonist clonidine (0.3 mg/kg).
Results and discussion: N-199/1 reduced immobility time (IT) and index of depression (ID) in FST, and did not affect IT in TST, either when administered repeatedly in Experiment 1, or acutely in Experiment 2. In Experiment 2, ketanserin enhanced the effect of N-199/1, decreasing ID by 36%, while WAY100635 and yohimbine antagonized it, increasing ID by 27% and IT by 115%, respectively, in comparison with N-199/1. N-199/1 attenuated the effect of ondansetron, increasing IT by 36%. In Experiment, 3 N-199/1 reduced clonidine-induced hypothermia 1 h after the injection of clonidine. N-199/1 exhibited pronounced antidepressant properties in FST, an agonism to 5HT1A-receptors and an antagonism to 5HT2A/2C- and α2-receptors in tests of neuropharmacological interaction, which indicates an atypical mechanism of its antidepressant action.
Conclusion: The antidepressant effect of N-199/1 is due to the stimulation of 5HT1A-receptors and blockade of 5HT2A/2C- and α2-receptors.
