β¦ Synopsis
The influence of a-methyl tyrosine and diethyldithiocarbamate which specifically inhibit noradrenaline synthesis and the influence of p-chlorophenylalanine which inhibits 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis in the brain on the antagonism between desmethylimipramine and RO 4-1284 was studied. It was shown that both substances which inhibit noradrenaline synthesis abolish the behavioural antagonism between DMI and 1~O 4-1284, and p-chlorophenylalanine is without effect on this antagonism. The evidence shows that DMI antagonises the action of a benzoqninolizine derivative by the participation of adrenergie mechanisms.

## Abstract The effect of chronic intravenous infusion of desmethylimipramine (DMI), amitriptyline, mianserin, bupropion, alprazolam, or diazepam on the density of betaβadrenergic receptors in the rat cerebral cortex has been investigated in this study. DMI and amitriptyline significantly decreased
We have demonstrated that Ara-C incorporates in leukemic cell DNA and that the extent of this incorporation correlates significantly with loss of clonogenic survival. This relationship between formation of (Ara-C)DNA and cytotoxicity is also obtained in the presence of modulating agents such as thym
