Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and its receptor subtypes have been implicated in endocrine and behavioral responsivity to stress and emotion, including fear, anxiety, and aggression. SSR 125543A is a new nonpeptide selective antagonist at the CRFl receptor that has been shown to produce an anxiolytic-like effect in a number of animal models of anxiety. The present study investigated effects of an oral dose of 10, or 30 mg/kg of SSR 125543A on aggressive behaviors of resident male Syrian hamsters toward male intruders. The high dose (30 mg/kg) of the CRF I receptor antagonist produced a higher latency to bite and lower lateral attack frequencies and chase durations, indicating a reduction in aggression toward intruders in resident hamsters. The same dose of SSR 125543A also enhanced frequency and duration of olfactory investigation, indicating that neither avoidance of the opponent nor deficiency in social activity is responsible for the reduction in aggression seen in these animals.
