Abstract
There are two kinds of tryptamine receptor in the guinea-pig ileum, namely the M receptors which can be blocked with morphine and the D receptors which can be blocked with dibenzyline. Atropine, an atropine-like drug, cocaine, and methadone inhibit effects due to the M receptors, even after dibenzyline, but have no additional effect after morphine. Lysergic acid diethylamide, dihydroergotamine and 5-benzyloxygramine inhibit effects due to the D receptors, even after morphine, but have no additional effect after dibenzyline. The M receptors are probably in the nervous tissue and the D receptors are probably in the muscles.
