Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Compound 4c, a 5-HT3 antagonist administered at 1 mg/kg intraperitoneally as a single dose, effectively reduced immobility duration, demonstrating an antidepressant effect in Forced Swim Test (FST) mice . This experiment utilized Swiss albino mice weighing 23 ± 2 g . Despite its significant effect on immobility, compound 4c did not alter the spontaneous locomotor activity in these animals, indicating its specificity in exhibiting the antidepressant effect without affecting general locomotion.
