Effect of chlorpromazine, reserpine, benactyzine and phenobarbitone on the release of corticotrophin in the rat.

A single injection into the rat of chlorpromazine, reserpine, benactyzine or phenobarbitone stimulates the release of corticotrophin. This effect is not seen after the drugs have been injected daily for 5 days, nor when the rats are hypophysectomized or pretreated with hydrocortisone. The stimulant effect of ether on corticotrophin release is not modified by pretreatment with a single injection, nor to any great extent after 5 daily injections of these drugs.
