Abstract: The effects of subchronic administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist buspirone and its new complex with glycyrrhizic acid (GA) to mice at different stages of development of an anxious-depressive state induced by social stress were studied. On the background of stress (during formation of the pathology), only the complex had protective actions, preventing the development of anxiety and retaining a high level of communicativeness among the animals. At the stage at which the anxious-depressive state had formed, buspirone and its complex with GA decreased motor activity in the mice, this effect of the complex being less marked. This article discusses the possible mechanisms of action of these compounds on the background of changes in the sensitivity of brain 5-HT1A receptors due to the formation of the pathological state in mice due to social stress. Despite the different actions of substances and depending on the extent of development of the anxious-depressive state, the new buspirone/GA complex had some advantage over buspirone © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
