N2 - Affective and psychotic disorders are highly prevalent and severely debilitating mental illnesses that often remain untreated or treatment-resistant. Sulpiride is a common antipsychotic (neuroleptic) drug whose well-established additional (e.g., antidepressant) therapeutic effects call for further studies of a wider spectrum of its CNS effects. Here, we examined effects of acute 20-min exposure to sulpiride (50–200 mg/L) on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors, as well as on brain monoamines, in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). Overall, sulpiride exerted overt anxiolytic-like effects in the novel tank test and showed tranquilizing-like effects in the zebrafish tail immobilization test, accompanied by lowered whole-brain dopamine and its elevated turnover, without affecting serotonin or norepinephrine levels and their turnover. Taken together, these findings support complex behavioral pharmacology of sulpiride in vivo and reconfirm high sensitivity of zebrafish-based screens to this and, likely, other related clinically active neuroleptics.
