Özet

Objective: Caffeine and modafinil are used to reverse effects of sleep deprivation. Nicotinic alpha-7 receptor and AMPA receptor positive allosteric modulators (PAM) are also potential substances in this context. Our objective is to evaluate the effects of caffeine, modafinil, AVL-3288 (nicotinic alpha-7 PAM) and CX516 (AMPA receptor PAM) on cognition and mood in a model of sleep deprivation. Method: Modified multiple platform model is used to sleep-deprive mice for 24 days, for 8 h/day. Vehicle, Modafinil (40 mg/kg), Caffeine (5 mg/kg), CX516 (10 mg/kg), and AVL3288 (1 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally daily. A cognitive test battery was applied every six days for four times. The battery that included elevated plus maze, novel object recognition, and sucrose preference tests was administered on consecutive days. Results: Sleep deprivation decreased novel object recognition skill, but no significant difference was found in anxiety and depressive mood. Caffeine administration decreased anxiety-like behavior in short term, but this effect disappeared in chronic administration. Caffeine administration increased memory performance in chronic period. AVL group showed better memory performance in short term, but this effect disappeared in the rest of experiment. Although, in the modafinil group, no significant change in mood and memory was observed, anhedonia was observed in the chronic period in vehicle, caffeine and modafinil groups, but not in AVL-3288 and CX-516 groups. Conclusion: Caffeine has anxiolytic effect in acute administration. The improvement of memory in chronic period may be associated with the neuroprotective effects of caffeine. AVL-3288 had a short-term positive effect on memory, but tolerance to these effects developed over time. Furthermore, no anhedonia was observed in AVL3288 and CX516 groups in contrast to vehicle, caffeine and modafinil groups. This indicates that AVL-3288 and CX516 may show protective effect against depression.
