TL;DR
Dl-α-amphetamine sulphate in a dose of 10 mg/kg caused abnormal stereotyped behaviour in white rats and major tranquillizers diminished or abolished this phenomenon; thymeretics increased its duration; minor tranquillizer did not influence it.
Abstract
dl-α-amphetamine sulphate in a dose of 10 mg/kg caused abnormal stereotyped behaviour in white rats. Major tranquillizers diminished or abolished this phenomenon; thymeretics increased its duration; minor tranquillizers did not influence it. Adrenergic blocking agents acted in various ways on the ASB phenomenon. The possible mechanism of amphetamine stereotyped behaviour is briefly discussed.

PsychopharmacologySpecial antagonism of amphetamine-induced abnormal behaviour
156 Citations1965A. Randrup, I. Munkvad
It has been shown, that perphenazine exerts a special form of antagonism against amphetamine, which inhibits a continuous stereotyped activity, which is induced by the amphetamine and simultaneously causes an increase in normal activities such as grooming and locomotion.

The present investigation was made to study the action of (+)-amphetamine at the cellular level with the help of the histochemical fluorescence method of Hillarp, Fuxe & Dahlstrom, 1965.
Biochemical PharmacologyEffects of d-amphetamine and restraint on the content of norepinephrine and dopamine in rat brain
79 Citations1963Kenneth E. Moore, Eugene Lariviere
Injection of d -amphetamine into rats caused a rapid reduction of norepinephrine content in brain; repletion occurred within 72 hr; dopamine content of the brain was not affected.

Pretreatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which increased the stores of endogenous norepinephrine, enhanced the toxicity, while pretreatment with agents that reduced the tissue stores of nore Alpinephnine reduced the toxicity of d -amphetamine.

In the present work the effect of (+)-amphetamine has been further examined for its effect on extragranular amines and special attention has been paid to the sensitivity of different catecholamine neurone systems to this drug.
Biochemical PharmacologyThe effects of cocaine, amphetamine and some amphetamine-like compounds on the in vivo levels of noradrenaline and dopamine in the rat brain
41 Citations1964J.R.C. Baird, J J Lewis
No relationship exists between the effects of these drugs on behaviour and on the brain levels of noradrenaline and dopamine and possible mechanisms of action of amphetamine and cocaine are discussed.
Life SciencesThe effects of amine depleting agents on the toxicity of amphetamine in aggregated mice
19 Citations1966John H. Mennear, Allan D. Rudzik
The results of this study indicate that the release of catecholamines, and an intrinsic activity of d - amphetamine may both play a role in the enhancement of d- amphetamine toxicity by aggregation.
