Abstract

The effect of zotepine, a new neuroleptic, on head-twitch induced by L-5-hydroxytryptophan (L-5HTP), mescaline and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM) in mice and rats was compared with that of known neuroleptics and the serotonin receptor blocker cyproheptadine. Among the neuroleptics tested, zotepine and haloperidol produced potent inhibitory effects on head-twitch induced by these three drugs. The results indicate that zotepine has a potent anti-hallucinogenic effect.
