Blockade of tonic hindlimb extension (THE) in the maximal electroshock seizure test was demonstrated for C‐28 ‘882‐Ba, a muscle spindle suppressant, chlorpromazine, a depressant of fusimotor drive, and gallamine, a neuromuscular blocking drug. These agents also blocked THE produced by very large doses of pentylenetetrazol. Dantrolene, a muscle contraction antagonist, and MI‐65‐S, a muscle spindle suppressant, significantly delayed THE. The data indicate that blockade of THE may be effected at a multiplicity of loci and may not be an expression of an “anticonvulsant” effect.
