The pharmacological effects of N3-allyluridine (N3-AUd) and N3-allylthymidine (N3-ATd) on the central nervous system (CNS) were examined by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration in mice. Pentobarbital (PB)-induced sleep, diazepam (DZ)-induced motor incoordination and spontaneous activity were used as three indices of pharmacological tests. N3-AUd and N3-ATd as well as uridine (Ud) and thymidine (Td); 0.9 mg/mouse, i.c.v., were found to potentiate PB-induced sleep, and their effects… CONTINUE READING
