Abstract:
Summary A new N-pyridinyl benzamide was found to potentiate strongly the effects of apomorphine on the motility of reserpinized mice and on circling behavior. Since dopaminergic agonist activity could not account for this potentiation, involvement of-adrenergic agonist activity provided the only consistent explanation.Acknowledgments.
