 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: Dizocilpine is an organic heterotetracyclic compound that is 1-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ortho-fused to two benzene rings at positions 2-3 and 6-7 (the 5S,10R-stereoisomer). It is a non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and affects cognitive function, learning, and memory. It has a role as a NMDA receptor antagonist, an anaesthetic, an anticonvulsant, a nicotinic antagonist and a neuroprotective agent. It is a secondary amino compound and a tetracyclic antidepressant. It is a conjugate base of a dizocilpine(1+).

 Dizocilpine maleate can be used to create schizophrenia models. An intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mg/kg in SD rats results in a half-life of 52.31 minutes, an AUC of 3185.48 nM·min, and a clearance rate of 34 mL/min/kg[2]. 
          Induction of Schizophrenia
         Background 
                  The specific mechanism of schizophrenia induction is unclear. One hypothesis is that, Dizocilpine maleateleads to dysregulation of glutamatergic system through NMDA inhibition[2].
                Specific Modeling Methods 
                    Rat: Sprague-Dawley ? male ? adult with weight of 250-300 gAdministration: 0.4 mg/kg ? i.p. ? single dose.
 
                        Note
                     
                        Dizocilpine maleate is dissolved in 0.9% sterile saline.
                    Modeling Indicators Behavior: Increased spontaneous activity with obvious anxiety-like behavior, increased motor activity in longer diatance (hyperactivity), reduced time staying in central area (avoidance of central area).Prepulse Inhibition (PPI): Decreased PPI significantly.
 maze test:Avoided open arm entries in elevated plus maze test and reduced number of novel arm entries in Y maze test.
