A large series of beta-carbolines was examined for their ability to bind at [3H]agonist-labeled 5-HT(2A) serotonin receptors. Selected beta-carbolines were also examined at 5-HT(2C) serotonin receptors, 5-HT(1A) serotonin receptors, dopamine D(2) receptors, and benzodiazepine receptors. Indolealkylamines and phenylisopropylamines were also evaluated in some of these binding assays. The...

Recently, the presence of two high affinity binding sites for phencyclidine were described in guinea pig brain, with one site coupled to the glutamate excitatory amino acid receptor, specifically activated by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) (site 1) and the other site associated with the dopamine (DA) reuptake carrier (site 2). Phencyclidine and its analogs, as well as the benzomorphan opiates, are...
