The effect of baclofen and aminooxyacetic acid on the action of drugs stimulating the dopaminergic system

Pol J Pharmacol Pharm. 1978 Nov-Dec;30(6):755-66.

Abstract

Baclofen and aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) depressed the explorative and locomotor activity in rats. Baclofen, but not AOAA, decreased the locomotor stimulation, produced by apomorphine. Both compounds did not affect hyperactivity, induced by D, L-amphetamine, amantadine and methylphenidate. Neither baclofen nor AOAA influenced stereotypy induced by the above four substances.
