Katz YR 1963 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/141/2/180.abstract AB The results of this study indicate that McN-822 belongs to a class of sympathomimetic agents that produce effects in normal dogs and have little or no effect in dogs presumably depleted of catecholamines by reserpine. This suggests McN-822 produces its sympathomimetic effects indirectly through the release of catecholamines. The marked sympathomimetic effects resulting from injections of reserpine and McN-822 in normal dogs are believed to be due to an enhanced release of catecholamines under the combined influence of both compounds.
