Droxidopa (200 mg/kg;i.p.) alters dopamine neuron and prefrontal cortex activity and improves attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-like behaviors in rats.Droxidopa (10, 20 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly increases the paw withdrawal latency and inhibits mechanical hypersensitivity to thermal stimulation in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats at the 5th week after surgery. Animal Model:250-380g male Sprague-Dawley rats Dosage:200 mg/kg (10 mg/kg, i.p. benserazide was given to the animals at 20 or 30 min prior to L-DOPS injection) Administration:I.p.Result:Significantly decreased hyperactivity of BZ-pretreated SHR/NCrl at 30 (P < 0.01) and 40 min (P < 0.05) post-injection, improved inattention-like behavior of SHR/NCrl, and ameliorated impulsive-like behavior of SHR/NCrl and Wistar rats.
