| Research Abstract |
Hirsutine, a major alkaloid in Uncaria rhynchophylla, was attenuated the apomorphine-induced climbing behavior and the MK-801-induced hyper-locomotion in mice. Hirsutine showed affinities to the σ_1, D_2 and 5-HT2Areceptors, but not to the σ_2, D_1, NMDA, GABA, and benzodiazepine receptors. The results suggest that the antipsychotic activity of hirsutine is mainly mediated through the σ_1, D_2, and 5-HT_<2A> receptors.
