Eduard Arushanyan; Eduard Beyer; Olga Kaminskaya; Ludmila Sotnikova;

The effect of melatonin (0,05, 0,1 and 5 mg/kg), phenazepam (0,05, 0,1 and 2 mg/kg) and their combination on behavior of rats were studied in the «open field» test, elevated maze and extrapolational deliverance. In the case of combined application, melatonin optimized anxiolytic activity of phenazepam and limited its negative impact on memory and locomotion of animals.
