The method was proposed for experimental assessment of the drug psychotropic spectrum in rats under pair interaction conditions. The method was based on the recording and analysis of the main behavioral elements with a specially developed point scale. A study was done on spectra of the diazepam, amphetamine, and desipramine activity. The results of pharmacoethological analysis confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method for the assessment of psychotropic spectrum of the well known drugs (diazepam, amphetamine, desipramine), as well as new pharmacological compounds.
