The aim of the present study was to examine motor effects of amphetamine (AMPH) in rats pretreated with either dizocilpine (MK-801) or phencyclidine (PCP), and to estimate possible differences in these effects. Our results showed that AMPH increases the duration of motor effects of PCP, while it does not change motor effects of MK-801. These findings may reflect different mechanisms of action of MK-801 and PCP, as well as selective influence of AMPH on metabolism of these drugs.
