“The effect of ethanol on the startle response was potentiated by pretreatment of the animals with pimozide, haloperidol, and p-chlorophenylalanine but not by propranolol, phenoxybenzamine, alpha-methyltyrosine, or pargyline.”

“Recently, Myers and c o w o r k e r ~ ~ ~ , ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ suggested that the metabolism of … 5-hydroxytryptamine (SHT) may be a factor in an animal's selection of ethanol because p-chlorphenylalanine , a drug that lowers the brain 5HT …,21 reduced the voluntary intake of ethanol in rats.”

“Preference for ethyl alcohol was significantly reduced or totally abolished in rats given orally p-chlorophenylalanine , a tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor that selectively depletes brain serotonin.”
“Prazosin (62.5 microg/kg, ip; an alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist), sulpiride (50 mg/kg, ip; a selective D2 receptor antagonist) and p-chlorophenylalanine (100 mg/kg, ip; an inhibitor of serotonin synthesis) significantly attenuated the aqueous and ethanolic extract-induced antidepressant-like effect in TST.”

“This study extends our findings with respect to the inhibitory effect of p-CPA on the development of tolerance to the motor-impairing effects of ethanol , and suggests that 5-HT may have a role in tolerance development to ethanol.”

“Chronic administration of p-chlorophenylalanine (p-CPA), in a dose previously shown to maintain more than 95% depletion of brain serotonin (5-HT), enhanced the acute hypnotic effect of barbiturates and ethanol.”

“This study extends our previous findings with respect to the inhibitory effects of p-CPA on tolerance development to ethanol and pentobarbital, and suggests that 5-HT may play a role in cross-tolerance development between ethanol and pentobarbital.”
