    Author: Mogilnicka E, Czyrak A, Maj J.
    Journal: Eur J Pharmacol; 1987 Jun 26; 138(3):413-6. PubMed ID: 3622617.
    Abstract:
    The effect of the calcium channel antagonists nifedipine, nitrendipine, nimodipine, verapamil and diltiazem in the mouse behavioral despair test was investigated. The dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists nifedipine, nitrendipine, nimodipine (0.1, 1, 10 mg/kg p.o.) but not the non-dihydropyridine compounds verapamil or diltiazem, dose dependently reduced immobility. Various antidepressant drugs (imipramine, mianserin, citalopram, (+)oxaprotiline) and (-)oxaprotiline in combination with nifedipine facilitated its effect.
