Antidepressant-like effect of JOM-13 in the forced swim test. (a) 32 mg/kg JOM-13, i.v., produced a significant decrease in immobility in the forced swim test, indicating an antidepressant-like effect, and significantly increased swimming behavior (n = 6 per group). (b) 10 mg/kg NTI given 30 min prior to 32 mg/kg JOM-13 blocked the antidepressant-like effect (n = 5 per group). (c) 32 mg/kg produced convulsions in 2 out of 6 rats (33.33%). (d) When 10 mg/kg NTI was given as a pretreatment, no convulsions were observed with administration of 32 mg/kg JOM-13. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
