Indolealkylamines and prolactin secretion a structure-activity study in the central nervous system of the rat

The present study was performed to examine the central effects of the indolealkylamine hallucinogens, 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (MDMT), bufotenin and N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), infused intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) into the lateral ventricle. They were found to have a stimulatory effect upon the secretion of prolactin. Their order of potency was compared. From a structure-activity point of view, MDMT is the most potent, followed …
