Interaction of psychoactive drugs with the Mg+2 requiring ATPase associated with isolated synaptic vesicles
Abstract:
A large series of CNS active drugs have been tested for their possible effect on the Mg+2 dependent ATPase associated with isolated synaptic vesicles. Antipsychotic agents and cocaine showed inhibition, of a non-competitive type. The implications of this finding for a synaptic theory of psychosis are discussed.
