This basic fraction (BF) of marihuana whole smoke condensate was subjected to pharmacological testing in males, Swiss-Webster mice. In a general pharmacological activity screen looking at behavioral, neurologic, and autonomic parameters, BF, at iv doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, caused impairment of visual placing, increase in tail pinch response, decrease in tail elevation, and induction of piloerection. These effects, although statistically significant, were slight and not consistently dose dependent. In a second study with doses ranging from 10 to 29 mg/kg, BF caused a decrease in spatial locomotion, rearing behavior, and urination incidence. In a third study, body temperatures of mice were measured periodically for 2 hr following administration of BF (1.2, 2.4, and 4.8 mg/kg) alone or in combination with 1.0 mg/kg delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). BF did not alter body temperature, nor did it affect THC-induced hypothermia. These results, although suggesting that the basic fraction of marihuana whole smoke condensate has pharmacological activity in mice, offers little evidence for the presence of highly active compounds.
