Abstract
Interest in the study of indole-containing compounds in biological systems has increased dramatically over the past decade. Tangible evidence for this interest is the fact that this chapter has been preceded by two earlier ones in the second and third volumes of this series. These reviews have discussed, respectively, the naturally occurring indoles isolated from plant and animal sources [35]1) and the effects of serotonin and other tryptamines on biological systems [56]. The latter chapter contains over 1300 references to papers published in the preceding six years, clearly pointing out the remarkable variety of target organs which respond to members of this class of compounds.
