DMCM (methyl-67-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate) is a drug from the beta-carboline family. It acts as an inverse agonist of benzodiazepine receptors meaning that it causes the opposite effects to the benzodiazepine class of drugs. As such DMCM has anxiogenic and convulsant properties and is used in scientific research to induce anxiety so that new anxiolytic medications can be tested and to produce convulsions so that anticonvulsant medications can be tested.
