Experiments were perfomed in rats to elucidate the role of central 5-HT and catecholamines in the mediation of the antinociceptive effects of d-amphetamine, d-p-chloroamphetamine, morphine and aminopyrine. The method of Randall and Selitto (1957) was used for determining the antinociceptive effect.The antinociceptive effects of both amphetamines and of morphine was antagonized by pretreatment with p-chlorophenylalanine and restored by 5-HTP. The 5-HT antagonist, cyproheptadine also exerted a strong antagonism. Central turnover of 5-HT was enhanced at the time of the antinociceptive effects of morphine and p-chloroamphetamine. α-Methyltyrosine abolished the antinociceptive drug effects in very low doses, but disulfiram did not. Of the catecholamine antagonistic drugs, haloperidol proved to be effective in doses which must be considered as purely dopamine antagonistic. Therefore, the results point to a participation of 5-HT and dopamine in the central mediation of antinociceptive drug effects. Of these amines, the former seems to be a major significance for morphine and p-chloroamphetamine, the latter for amphetamine. In the case of aminopyrine, only pretreatment with p-chlorophenylalanine resulted in a somewhat doubtful antagonism.
