Stereoselective effects of 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOM) on schedule-controlled behavior. 1977

R A Harris, and D Snell, and H H Loh

The effects of R(-)-, S(+) and R, S-1-2-5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2-Aminopropane (DOM) were studied using rats responding under a fixed interval two-min schedule of food presentation. All three drugs decreased average rates of responding in a dose-related manner, with R -DOM being five to six times more potent than S-DOM increased the low response rates occurring at the beginning of the fixed interval and decreased the higher response rates occurring at the end of the interval (rate-dependent effects). These results are discussed in terms of the stereoselective metabolism of DOM and of the structural similarities between R-DOM and the behaviorally active isomer of LSD.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008238	Lysergic Acid Diethylamide	Semisynthetic derivative of ergot (Claviceps purpurea). It has complex effects on serotonergic systems including antagonism at some peripheral serotonin receptors, both agonist and antagonist actions at central nervous system serotonin receptors, and possibly effects on serotonin turnover. It is a potent hallucinogen, but the mechanisms of that effect are not well understood.

D012055	Reinforcement Schedule	A schedule prescribing when the subject is to be reinforced or rewarded in terms of temporal interval in psychological experiments. The schedule may be continuous or intermittent.	Reinforcement Schedules,Schedule, Reinforcement,Schedules, Reinforcement
D003216	Conditioning, Operant	Learning situations in which the sequence responses of the subject are instrumental in producing reinforcement. When the correct response occurs, which involves the selection from among a repertoire of responses, the subject is immediately reinforced.

D004290	DOM 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine	A psychedelic phenyl isopropylamine derivative, commonly called DOM, whose mood-altering effects and mechanism of action may be similar to those of LSD.	2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine (DOM),1-(2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylphenyl)-2-Aminopropane,2 5 DOM,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine Hydrochloride, (+,-)-Isomer,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine Hydrochloride, (R)-Isomer,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine Hydrochloride, (S)-Isomer,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine, (+,-)-Isomer,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine, (R)-Isomer,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine, (S)-Isomer,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine, Hydrochloride,2,5 Dimethoxy 4 Methylamphetamine,2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Methylamphetamine, DOM,DOM 2,5 Dimethoxy 4 Methylamphetamine
D000662	Amphetamines	Analogs or derivatives of AMPHETAMINE. Many are sympathomimetics and central nervous system stimulators causing excitation, vasopressin, bronchodilation, and to varying degrees, anorexia, analepsis, nasal decongestion, and some smooth muscle relaxation.
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
