Popis: The effects of MDL 72832, a potent and stereoselective ligand for 5-HT1A sites, on basal nociception and non-opioid defeat analgesia in male mice were examined. Neither (+)- nor (−)-MDL 72832 significantly altered basal tail-flick latencies. In contrast, (−)-MDL 72832 potently inhibited defeat analgesia (0.1–0.5 mg/kg i.p.), with similar effects produced by (+)-MDL 72832 only at substantially higher doses (3.0–5.0 mg/kg i.p.). These data clearly demonstrate a stereoselective action of this 5-HT1A ligand on non-opioid defeat analgesia.
