“…As an initial in vivo evaluation of 25 , we undertook a murine study in a marble burying paradigm, a model which has been used to probe the antianxiolytic effect of mGlu 5 NAMs. , In brief, 24 marbles were evenly spaced across the surface of sawdust bedding, and male CD-1 mice treated orally with vehicle (10% Solutol HS15, 90% (10% aqueous (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin)) or 25 (1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg) 30 min before the start of the test. After pretreatment, mice were placed individually in a cage containing the marbles, and after 30 min mice were removed and the number of marbles buried by at least two-thirds into the sawdust were counted.…”
