Cyprolidol
Cyprolidol is an orally active inhibitor of acetylcholine receptor and histamine receptor with potential antidepressant activity. Cyprolidol inhibits acetylcholine-induced hypotensive response, histamine-induced systolic blood pressure decrease, tyramine-induced systolic blood pressure increase, serotonin-induced systolic blood pressure response in anesthetized animals, and bretylium-induced systolic blood pressure increase in anesthetized cats. Cyprolidol potentiates norepinephrine-induced systolic blood pressure increase, slightly potentiates epinephrine-induced systolic blood pressure increase, and enhances the anesthetic depth of barbiturates. Cyprolidol can be used in the research of depression.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vivo
Cyprolidol (10 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose) produces a mean -34.16 mmHg systolic pressure fall in anesthetized dogs, while also potentiating norepinephrine and epinephrine pressor responses and inhibiting tyramine, histamine, acetylcholine, and serotonin responses[1].
Cyprolidol (10-30 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose) produces a biphasic systolic pressure response (-34.00 mmHg fall followed by +38.00 mmHg rise) in anesthetized cats, while also potentiating norepinephrine and epinephrine pressor responses, inhibiting tyramine, histamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, and bretylium responses, and at 30 mg/kg i.v. reversing bretylium-induced pressure rises to falls[1].
Cyprolidol (30 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 14 days) does not alter normotensive systolic pressure in conscious dogs[1].

Protocols
-
Protocol for Tail Suspension Test (TST)
The Tail Suspension Test is a mouse behavioral assay in which an animal is suspended by the tail in an inescapable position, causing alternating escape-directed activity and immobility; the main readout is immobility time, and antidepressant-like treatments generally reduce immobility compared with vehicle controls. The assay detects behavioral response to acute inescapable stress rather than a molecular event; immobility is interpreted as passive stress-coping behavior, while reduced immobility is used as a predictive screen for antidepressant-like activity, with important limitations related to strain, locomotor activity, and tail-climbing behavior.
-
Protocol for Forced Swim Test (FST)
The Forced Swim Test is a rodent behavioral assay in which a mouse or rat is placed in an inescapable cylinder of water, and the main readout is the time spent immobile versus active escape-related behaviors such as swimming or climbing. Reduced immobility after treatment has historically been interpreted as antidepressant-like activity, but the assay should be interpreted as a behavioral response to acute inescapable stress rather than a complete model of human depression.
