Major pharmacological effects of 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (6-methoxytryptoline, 6-MeOTHBC) are described. It seemed to have a weak effect of its own on 5-HT-receptors. It is concluded that most of the effects, like the increase of rectal temperature after peripheral administration and decrease and then increase after intrahypothalamic application as well as the antagonism of the group toxicity of amphetamine without effect on norepinephrine toxicity or barbiturate sleeping time, can result from the increase of tissue 5-HT-concentration and/or inhibition of 5-HT-uptake.
描述了6-甲氧基-1,2,3,4-四氢-β-咔啉（6-甲氧基色胺，6-MeOTHBC）的主要药理作用。它自身对5-羟色胺受体似乎有微弱作用。得出的结论是，大多数作用，如外周给药后直肠温度升高、下丘脑内应用后先降低后升高，以及对苯丙胺群体毒性的拮抗作用而对去甲肾上腺素毒性或巴比妥类睡眠时间无影响，可能是由于组织5-羟色胺浓度升高和/或5-羟色胺摄取受抑制所致。
