Abstract :
[en] The inhibitory effect of adrenochrome on glutamic decarboxylase from brain homogenates in vitro, does not occur with mescaline and LSD 25. Certain stable derivatives of adrenochrome such as MSCA and AHA, in which the quinonic function is blocked, have an opposite effect, and behave like activators of brain glutamic decarboxylase. This activation seems to be indirect; MSCA and AHA do not constitute new coenzymes.
