RESUMO

Chronic treatment with clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant drug, reduces symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and can influence the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. However, little is known regarding the effects of acute clomipramine on the immediate expression of stress responses. Serotonergic drugs can elicit surfacing, a behavioral profile potentially related to toxicity in fish, although surfacing has not yet been observed after clomipramine exposure. The present study investigated the impact of acute exposure to clomipramine on basal and stress-induced behaviors in the novel tank test and cortisol levels in mixed-sex, wild-type, adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). The findings show clomipramine-exposed groups (regardless of stress exposure) spent much more time in the top of the novel tank and had significantly less overall motor activity in the behavioral task compared to the fish not exposed to the drug. Then, the dose-dependent effects of acute clomipramine on activity in the surface of the novel tank (top third of the top half) were investigated further. Clomipramine dose-dependently increased surface-dwelling and elicited a dose-dependent hypoactivity in overall motor behavior. There were no statistically significant differences in whole-body cortisol levels in either experiment. Like other serotonin-acting drugs, clomipramine strongly elicited surface-dwelling and depressed motor behavior in adult zebrafish. Additional testing is needed to elucidate whether surfacing represents a toxic state and how serotonin regulates surfacing.
