Example 13 Determination of Analgesic Activity by Hot Plate Assay of Mice

(44) While Kunming mice, male, were placed on a hot plate at 55 C., the time was calculated immediately until the mice licked or stamped their hind paws for the first time. The calculated time was recorded as the pre-administration basal pain threshold; then the mice were randomized to 10 animals per group; Each mouse was administered by gavage, placed on a hot plate at 55 C. 1 hour after administration and the time was calculated until the mice licked or stamped their hind paws for the first time. The time calculated was recorded as the post-administration pain threshold; It was recorded as 100% of analgesia without the occurrence of licking or stamping hind paws in 60 seconds. The percentage of analgesia was calculated by comparison of the pain threshold before and after administration, and the calculation formula was as follows:

(45) $\mathrm{analgesia}\%=\frac{\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{post}\text{-}\mathrm{administration}\mathrm{pain}\mathrm{threshold}-\\ \mathrm{pre}\text{-}\mathrm{adminstration}\mathrm{pain}\mathrm{threshold}\end{array}}{60s-\mathrm{pre}\text{-}\mathrm{administration}\mathrm{pain}\mathrm{threshold}}100\%$

The calculated time was recorded as the pre-administration basal pain threshold; Then the rats were randomly grouped to 5 animals in each group; Each mouse was administered by gavage, the tail tip of which was placed in the constant-temperature water bath of 55 C. 1 hour after administration. The time was calculated the tail tip flicked out of the water.

Example 15 Evaluation of Drug Dependence by Rat Place Preference Test

(52) SD rats (male, weight 160-180 g) were placed in a conditioned place preference training box with the partition door open, and the rats were allowed to stay in each box for determination of their residence time in 15 min, by which the natural tendency of the rats were judged. The rats were then randomized to 10 per group in term of their residence time in white box. The white box was the drug-side box, and the black box was the non-drug-side box. The rats were administered 3ED.sub.50 dose (hot plate method) of the test compounds by gavage, and immediately placed in the white box or black box for training 45 minutes, once a day for 9 consecutive days. On the 10th day, the rats were placed in the training box with the partition door open, and the residence time of the rats in the white box was measured within 15 minutes to evaluate the place preference effect of the rats.

Example 16 Evaluation of Drugs on Gastrointestinal Peristalsis by Mice Excretion Test Administered by Gavage with Activated Carbon

(54) Mice, half male and half female, fasted 8 hours before the experiment and free to drink water, were administered by gavage 3ED.sub.50 dose (hot plate method) of the test compounds; A suspension was prepared by 5% carbon powder and 10% methylcellulose, and administered to the mice at a dose of 0.2 ml/20 g 30 minutes after drug administration. 15 minutes after that, the mice were killed by cervical dislocation. The mice were laparotomized immediately, with the digestive tract completely removed from the cardia to the end of the rectum and tiled on a glass plate without traction, and the distance from the front of the suspension to the cardia was measured. The percentage of the distance and total length of the intestine was calculated. Ten animals were as a group. The inhibition percentage of activated carbon excretion after administration was compared by mean and standard deviation.
