Psychotomimetic Drugs: Structure-Activity Relationships

  • Chapter
Image Stimulants

Part of the book series: Handbook of Psychopharmacology ((SIBN,volume 11))

Abstract

The field of psychopharmacology has its sources in a number of different medical disciplines involved with the function of the brain. In the area of pharmacology, a major contribution has been made by the study of those drugs that are collectively known as psychotropic agents. The term “psychotropic” is used to describe a drug that turns or changes the mind, following quite literally from the Greek stemψυχη meaning soul, mind, or understanding, and τρεπειν, to turn. A sizable proportion of our present pharmacopoea contains medicines designed to play a role in the changing or modification of a person’s mood or mental state. A classification of these materials into families defined by the nature of the mental state change evoked is a useful way of defining the subdivision known as “psychotomimetic drugs.” An historically interesting procedure was established by Lewin (1924), who characterized these drugs in five subdivisions according to the nature of their action.
