Abstract
Rats trained to discriminate saline from either (+)-amphetamine, (+/-)-DOM, or (+/-)-3,4-MDA in a two-lever drug discrimination paradigm were administered doses of a novel positional isomer of 3,4-MDA, i.e. 2,3-MDA. The novel isomer produced neither amphetamine-appropriate nor DOM-appropriate responding: the 3,4-MDA stimulus did, however, generalize to 2,3-MDA.
