Abstract

The experiments on rats, using conflict situation method, have established that anxiolytic effect of 3-hydroxypyridine derivative is removed by bicucullin and picrotoxin, but not by Ro 5-3663, specific antagonist of benzodiazepine receptors Ro 15-1788 and inversive antagonist ethyl beta-carboline-3-carboxylate. The data obtained suggest that GABA-chloriontophor complex is involved into the realization of 3-hydroxypyridine anxiolytic effect.
