title: Effects of prolintane on 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid concentration in rat brain after spiperone treatment.
abstract: Prolintane (1-[alpha-propylphenethyl]-pyrrolidine) but not l-(alpha-methylphenethyl)-pyrrolidine markedly enhanced the increase in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid concentration in the brains of rats treated with spiperone, a neuroleptic drug. This action and other properties of prolintane described in the literature place it in a group of stimulant drugs that includes methylphenidate, cocaine and amfonelic acid with properties that differ from those of amphetamine.
