CYP2D6 may play an important neuroregulatory role in the brain, and may modulate brain functions important in drug-reinforced behavior or neurotoxicity. 

Somatostatin is a neuroregulatory peptide secreted by the hypothalamus. Human somatostatin receptors (ssts) are expressed in the brain, anterior pituitary gland, pancreas, thyroid gland, and in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract (Hofland and Lamberts 1997 Patel 1999). Tumors arising from sst-positive cells in these organs contain a high density of ssts (Hofland et al. 2003 Lamberts et al. 1991 Reubi 1996).

Although the available literature indicates that MAOIs do have agnificant influences on both the metabolism and behavioral effects of DMT, apparently the specific interactions of DMT with 3-carbolines have not been investigated. This apparent oversight is especially remarkable in view of the close structural relationships of tryptamine derivatives and arbolines (see Tables 1 and II), the probable metabolic interconversion of DMT, other tryptamines and /J-carbolines (Barker, Monti 8c Christian 1980 Hsu 8c Mandell 1975), the involvement of both classes of compounds in important neuroregulatory functions such as MAO activity and...
