a Timeline for behavioral testing was conducted 2 h after three consecutive days of drug treatment. Serum was isolated from the mice immediately after the TST application. The TST activates the HPA axis as a stressor. b Immobility times in drug-treated mice showed that only the BMK-C205 group was more mobile than the vehicle group. c ACTH concentrations in the serum from BMK-C203- and BMK-C205-treated mice were lower than those in the vehicle group. d CORT serum concentrations decreased in BMK-C205-treated mice compared to those in the vehicle group (vehicle n = 17, antalarmin n = 14, BMK-C203 n = 10, and BMK-C205 n = 13; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ANOVA). e ACTH serum levels were positively correlated with CORT levels (N = 54, Pearson’s r = 0.2849).
