Pharmacology, biochemistry, and behavior 2001 S S Hong, R Young, Richard A Glennon
alpha-Ethyltryptamine (alpha-ET) possesses central stimulant and hallucinogenic activity. Also, in tests of stimulus generalization using rats trained to discriminate the controlled substance analog (i.e., designer drug) N-methyl-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-aminopropane (MDMA) from vehicle, alpha-ET substituted for MDMA. These previous studies employed racemic alpha-ET. Because psychoactive...
