We studied the effects of p-synephrine on the immobility behaviors and on the spontaneous motor activity in mice. p-Synephrine at oral doses from 1 to 10 mg/kg significantly decreased the duration of immobility in the tail suspension test and the forced swimming test in mice. At 30 mg/kg, the duration of immobility was returned to control values in both tests. Subcutaneous administration of prazosin hydrochloride (62.5 mu g/kg), an alpha(1) adrenoceptor antagonist, blocked the p-synephrlne (3 mg/kg)-induced decrease in immobility in the tail suspension test. p-Synephrine did not change the spontaneous motor activity at oral doses from 0.3 to 10 mg/kg. These results suggest that p-synephrine elicits an antidepressant-like activity in mouse models of immobility tests, through the stimulation of alpha(1) adrenoceptors.
