HC-070 (1 mg/kg, p.o.) affects mice with increased evoked anxiety (CCK-4), but shows no effects in the absence of CCK-4. HC-070 (0.3, 1 or 3 mg/kg, p.o.) decreases anxiety in a standard EPM (more light/high anxiety). HC-070 (1 mg/kg) reduces the increased capacity for fear memory in mice subjected to chronic social stress on days 1-15. In addition, HC-070 (1, 3, 10 mg/kg, p.o.) causes reduction in marble burying behavior. HC-070 (0.3, 1, 3, 10 mg/kg, p.o.) also reduces time of immobility in a tail suspension test but does not impact locomotor activity in mice.
