Effect of some amphetamine analogues on  -methyl-p-tyrosine-induced catalepsy in rats.
A single dose of alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine induced catalepsy in rats, commencing 6 h after administration. This catalepsy was strongly enhanced by (+)-amphetamine and (-)-ephedrine, but was antagonized by other amphetamine-like drugs. The implication of these findings is briefly discussed.
