Pharmacological properties of L-5HTP in experimental animals were studied and the following results were obtained: L-5HTP produced a decrease in spontaneous locomotor activity in mice, a potentiation of morphine-induced analgesia in mice, an effect of lowering body temp. in mice and a tendency to induce a drowsy EEG pattern in rabbits. Anticonvulsant, anti-tremor, muscle relaxant effects and a potentiation of pentobarbital-induced aneasthesia were not induced by L-5HTP. On the other hand, L-5HTP antagonized the behavioral changes induced by reserpine, tetrabenazine and p-CPA in some experiments.
