Desformylflustrabromine (dFBr) and nicotine were tested for possible motor impairment in CCI-operated mice after 2 weeks of surgery. Mice received dFBr (9 mg/kg, subcutaneously) or saline, and 15 min later mice were given a subcutaneous injection of nicotine (1.5 mg/kg) or saline as vehicle. Mice were placed on the rotarod 5 min after last injection. Data reflect mean ± SEM, n = 6 mice/group, as time to fall in % impairment for each group.
