Abstract
Summary
1. It has been demonstrated that chlorpromazine, perphenazine, proclorperazine, promazine, thiopropazate, promethazine and reserpine are effective antagonists of mescaline-induced mortality in CF1 mice. 2. No significant protection was found with use of sodium phenobarbital, meprobamate, benactyzine, atropine, hydroxyzine, ethoxybutamoxane, SY-21, diphenylhydantoin, trimethadione, lysergic acid diethylamide, serotonin, amphetamine, morphine, pyrilamine, diphenhydramine, iproniazid, pilocarpine, and arecoline. 3. It is suggested that the protective effects of the ataractics against mescalineinduced mortality are centrally mediated.
