“…Saz-A produces several potentially important behavioral effects in rodents: it decreases nicotine self-administration (Levin et al, 2010b;Rezvani et al, 2010;Johnson et al, 2012), reduces alcohol consumption (Rezvani et al, 2010), and increases performance on tasks of attention, even after attention is disrupted by pretreatment with scopolamine or dizocilpine [(5S,10R)-(ϩ)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo [a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine] (MK801) . In addition, in preclinical tests saz-A produces behavior indicative of potential antidepressant and/or antianxiety effects (Kozikowski et al, 2009;Turner et al, 2010Turner et al, , 2011Caldarone et al, 2011).…”
