A modified Geller-Seifter paradigm was employed to test in male albino rats the effects of subthreshold doses of amphetamine and chlordiazepoxide (CDP), administered separately or in combination, on shock induced suppression of food-reinforced lever-pressing. MK-801, a newly synthesized sympathomimetic with anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties, was also tested. dl-Amphetamine in doses of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg had no anxiolytic nor anxiogenic effects, but at 1.0 mg/kg it increased non-conflict responding. CDP in doses of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mg/kg had no significant effect on conflict and non-conflict responding. CDP in the dose of 0.8 mg/kg tended to increase conflict responding. Coadministration of amphetamine (0.2 mg/kg) and CDP (0.4 mg/kg) had a significant anti-conflict effect. MK-801 at 50 .mu.g/kg and 100 .mu.g/kg caused a significant increase in non-conflict responding. MK-801 at 50 .mu.g/kg exerted also a significant anti-conflict effect. The disinhibitor effects of amphetamine coadministered with CDP were discussed in terms of a possible enhanced noradrenergic or dopaminergic activity and their interaction with GABA neurotransmission at GABA-benzodiazepine coupled sites.
