The effects of two derivatives of 2-aminoadamantane, enantiomers J447H and J579, on the behavior of male and female C57Bl/6J mice were studied using a modified light/dark test. The substances differed by their effects on the behavior of male mice. J579 reduced the number of rearings. J447H in a dose of 1 mg/kg affected more parameters: it reduced exploratory activity 1 h after administration and stimulated exploratory and motor activity in 2 h. In female mice, J447H significantly reduced the number of peepings into holes in 2 h after administration. The results indicate that further analysis of the effects of J579 and especially J447H is required.
