We examined the effect of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) on the immobilization of rats in the forced swim test after administration of the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist, 8-hydroxy-2-di-n-propylamino tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). Imipramine (3-30 mg/kg, i.p.) or 8-OH-DPAT (0.1-1 mg/kg, s.c.) significantly decreased the duration of immobility in normal rats. The immobility-decreasing effect of imipramine was blocked when ACTH was administered for 14 days. On the other hand, the immobility-decreasing effect induced by 8-OH-DPAT was not blocked by chronic administration of ACTH for 14 days. These findings indicate that 8-OH-DPAT can be useful in an animal model of depressive conditions resistant to antidepressant treatment.
