Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)

My contribution could be related to the in vivo study of the active compounds designed and synthesized during the course of action by chemists from WG1. The study would be performed  on rats. Compounds may be administered  intragastrally or by injection either  subcutaneous, intraperitoneal or intravenous.  Biological activity assessment may include the analyses of the drug effects on CNS function based on both,  neurotransmitter concentration and the activity of enzymes engaged in neurotransmitter metabolism (decarboxylases, methyltransferases, monoamine oxidases).  Also ex vivo receptor binding study can be performed when appropriate. Some behavioural studies are also possible- for example, the active and passive avoidance to search the cognitive function impairment or the effects of the administered compounds on  feeding behavior (for neurotransmitters histamine and serotonin).
