          Background

          Luzindole is a melatonin receptor antagonist that preferentially targets MT2 over MT1. Luzindole inhibits experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and exerts antidepressant-like activity[1-3].
          Luzindole (30 mg/kg i.p.) reduces the immobile time in a dose-dependent manner, reducing midnight by 60% and noon by 39%. Luzindole shows the greatest effect at 60 minutes. In albinism ND/4 mice or C57BL/6J mice that do not produce melatonin, Luzindole (30 mg/kg i.p.) does not change the immobile time at noon or midnight[3].
