THE INHIBITION OF AMINE OXIDASE AND THE CENTRAL STIMULATING ACTION OF THE STEREOISOMERIC AMPHETAMINES AND 1‐PHENYLETHYLAMINES

The stereoisomers of amphetamine and 1‐phenylethylamine have been studied in the rat both as central stimulants and as inhibitors of amine oxidase from brain, liver, and kidney. There was no correlation between these two effects; thus it is unlikely that the central stimulating action of amphetamine is due to inhibition of amine oxidase.
