In the adrenergic neurons the amino acid alpha-methyl-meta-tyrosine (alpha-MmT) is converted to metaraminol via the noradrenaline (NA) synthetic pathway. Metaraminol thereby displaces NA from its neuronal stores, and as a consequence NA levels can be drastically reduced, although normal sympathetic

alpha-Methyldopa (alpha-MD) was administered intraperitoneally into adult male mice and its effect on alpha 1- and alpha 2-noradrenergic receptor binding sites in the brain was investigated, using [3H]WB-4101 and [3H]clonidine, respectively. A single injection of 50-200 mg/kg alpha-MD abolished the

A comparative study of the ability to block the amine pump was carried out on tricyclic antidepressants including dothiepin and northiaden in vivo. Dothiepin was found to prevent the 6-OHDA-induced depletion of cardiac noradrenaline but not the PCA-induced depletion of
