The anxiogenic action of caffeine (10, 25 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.) was investigated in rats and compared with that of yohimbine (2 mg/kg, i.p.). The experimental methods used were the open-field, elevated plus-maze, social interaction and novelty-suppressed feeding latency tests. Caffeine produced a dose-related profile of behavioural changes, which were qualitatively similar to those induced by yohimbine and which indicate an anxiogenic activity in rodents. Thus, both the drugs reduced ambulation…

It is concluded that caffeine had two effects on behavior, motor activation and a reduction of anxiety, and that food deprivation separated these effects.

Whether the anxiogenic effects of caffeine observed in mice depend on the blockade of A2A receptor or their long-term blockade after chronic ingestion of caffeine may be responsible for increase proneness to anxiety.

Caffeine does not reverse ethanol-induced learning deficits in the plus-maze discriminative avoidance task, and ethanol's blockade of caffeine-induced anxiogenesis may contribute to co-use.

The investigation indicates that, like cholecystokinin (CCK), bradykinin may function as an endogenous anxiogenic peptide that reduces ambulation and rears, and increased immobility and defecation, in the open-field test.

The results indicate that quinine exerts significant anxiogenic effect at a particular dose range and attenuated the effects of diazepam, an anxiolytic agent, in the open-field and thirst conflict tests.

Investigations indicate that isatin has significant anxiogenic effect and support the contention that it and/or its biotransformation products may be responsible for at least part of the activity of tribulin demonstrated previously in animal models and in clinical situations of stress and anxiety.

The data suggest that IPA is an endogenous anxiolytic with novel profile and does not attenuate pentylenetetrazole- or phenylethylamine-induced seizures in contrast to diazepam which prevents both types of seizures.

It is suggested that there is a minor contribution of adenosine receptors to these effects, although theophylline-induced anxiogenic effects were antagonized by an A2 receptor agonist.
