This investigation is based on the premise that conformational restriction of abused phenylalkylamines in a tetrahydroisoquinoline conformation alters their pharmacology in such a manner that their original action is lost and that a new action emerges. TDIQ or 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,3-dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinoline, is a conformationally constrained phenylalkylamine that serves as a discriminative...
Psychoactive phenylisopropylamines can produce one or more of several different stimulus effects in animals. These effects are typified by the hallucinogen 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOM), the central stimulant amphetamine, and by N-methyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-aminopropane (PMMA), an agent whose actions are not yet well understood. The optical isomers of two...
