| pubmed-article:7279315 | pubmed:abstractText | We report that eseroline, until now thought devoid of any biological action, is a potent antinociceptive agent. Its antinociceptive action is stronger than that of morphine in all tests studied and, though shorter lasting than that of the latter, has a latency of only a few minutes by subcutaneous route. Eseroline, like morphine and enkephalins, inhibits the electrically evoked twitches of the mouse vas deferens and of the guinea-pig ileum. Eseroline, moreover, releases 5-hydroxytryptamine from cat brain cortex in way similar to that of morphine and physostigmine. | lld:pubmed |
