Benzoctamine hydrochloride  (Synonyms: Ba-30803)

Benzoctamine hydrochloride (Ba-30803) is a psychoactive agent with anti-anxiety effect. Benzoctamine hydrochloride blocks the central postsynaptic serotonin receptors and decreases 5-HT turnover in the brain^[1][2].

Benzoctamine hydrochloride (Ba-30803) inhibits the head twitch reaction induced by L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) in mice and by 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT) in rats pretreated with tranylcypromine. Benzoctamine also antagonizes tryptamine (TRP)-induced clonic convulsions of forepaws in rats ^[2].
