Chemistry:ORG-37684

From HandWiki

ORG-37684 is a drug developed by Organon, which acts as a potent and selective agonist for the 5-HT2 receptor family, including of the serotonin 5-HT2C, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2A receptors, in that order of potency.[1][2][3] It has anorectic effects in animal studies and has been researched as a potential weight loss drug for use in humans.[4] ORG-37684 produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, and hence may be hallucinogenic in humans.[1]
