摘要
Our previous study indicated that the water layer present in Fructus Schisandra (FSW) at 10 and 25 mg kg(-1) significantly counteracted cycloheximide (CXM)-induced amnesia. Therefore, the mechanism of action of the ameliorating effect of FSW on CXM-induced amnesia in the passive avoidance task was investigated in rats. The ameliorating effect of FSW on CXM-induced amnesia was depressed by scopolamine. The serotonin releaser: p-chloroamphetamine significantly antagonized the ameliorating effect of FSW on CXM-induced amnesia. Furthermore, the ameliorating effect was also inhibited by the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT, but potentiated by the 5-HT2 receptor antagonist ritanserin. Finally, the GABA(A) receptor antagonist bicuculline blocked the ameliorating effect of FSW. These results suggest that the beneficial effect of FSW on CXM-induced amnesia is amplified by treatment with serotonergic 5-HT2 receptor antagonists, but reduced by serotonergic 5-HT1A receptor agonists as well as GABA(A) and cholinergic receptor antagonists.
