Molecular Connectivity Analysis of Hallucinogenic Mescaline Analogs

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences July 1, 1979 Richard A Glennon, Lemont B. Kier, Alexander T. Shulgin 29 citations

The hallucinogenic (psychotomimetic) potency of 10 mescaline analogs was examined by molecular connectivity analysis. Potencies could be described by a two-term relating equation, which explained 94% of the variance in activity, on the basis of structural variation, 2,5-Dimethoxy substitution as well as the nature of the 4-position substituent played an important role in determining...

Mescaline increases startle responding equally in normal and raphe-lesioned rats

Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Behavior February 1, 1979 Mark A. Geyer, Gary J. Rose, Lyle R. Petersen 7 citations

To test the possible involvement of serotonin-containing cells of the midbrain in mediating the effects of mescaline on startle responding, electrolytic lesions were made in either the dorsal or median raphe nucleus in rats. Decreases in either striatal or hippocampal tryptophan hydroxylase activity confirmed the effectiveness of the lesions. One week later, startle was measured in response to...

Effects of mescaline and amphetamine on simultaneous visual discrimination in two inbred strains of mice

Psychopharmacology 1979 Claudio Castellano 8 citations

The effects of mescaline and amphetamine were investigated in BALB/cJ (BALB) and C57BL/6J (C57) mice using the five-choice Yerkes--Thompson Bryant--Bovet-Nitti apparatus for patterns discrimination. Two sets of experiments were carried out. In the first set, pretrial administration of mescaline (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) was followed by performance improvements in the C57 mice, while performances of...

The effects of lysergic acid diethylamide and mescaline-derived hallucinogens on sensory-integrative function: tactile startle.

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics December 1, 1978 Mark A. Geyer, Lyle R. Petersen, Gary J. Rose et al. 69 citations

Tactile startle responding by male Sprague-Dawley rats given 60 presentations of air-puff stimuli (37.5 psi) was measured after the intraperitoneal administration of graded doses of hallucinogens and other psychoactive drugs. Among the drugs tested were the indoleamine-derived compounds, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), N,N-dimethyltryptamine and psilocin, and the phenylethylamine-derived...

Mescaline produces pathological aggression in rats regardless of age or strain

Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Behavior May 1, 1978 Robert J. Sbordone, Joseph A. Wingard, Mark L. Elliott et al. 12 citations

Several measures of aggressive behavior were investigated in three ages (40-50, 90-110, and 180-200 days old) and in three strains (Sprague-Dawley, Wistar, and Long-Evans) of rats before and following the administration of mescaline hydrochloride in a shock-elicited aggression situation. The measures included the number of fights, duration of fighting, latency of fighting, number of bites...

Peyote Alkaloids: Identification in a Prehistoric Specimen of Lophophora from Coahuila, Mexico

Science March 31, 1978 Jan G. Bruhn, J.‐e. Lindgren, Bo Holmstedt et al. 23 citations

Mescaline, anhalonine, lophophorine, pellotine, and anhalonidine have been identified in alkaloid extracts of a prehistoric specimen of Lophophora from a burial cave in west central Coahuila, Mexico. The specimen is associated with radiocarbon dates of A.D. 810 to 1070 and is one of the oldest materials ever submitted to alkaloid analysis.

3H-metaraminol releasing action of mescaline from rat hypothalamus in vitro

European Journal of Pharmacology November 15, 1977 Om D. Gulati, Nandkumar S. Shah

The amine releasing action of mescaline was investigated in rat isolated hypothalamus labeled with 3H-metaraminol. Mescaline had no effect on the uptake of 3H-metaraminol but produced its release in a concentration-related manner. 4 x 10(-4) M mescaline, which produced submaximal effects was used for subsequent experiments. 3 x 10(-5) M cocaine had no effect on the 3H-metaraminol releasing...
