Chemistry:RU-28253

From HandWiki

RU-28253, also known as 5-MeO-THPI, is a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist of the tryptamine, 5-methoxytryptamine, and tetrahydropyridinylindole families.[1][2][3][4] It is a tetrahydropyridylindole and a conformationally constrained analogue of 5-MeO-DMT.[2][3]

The drug shows high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor (Ki = 5.7 nM) and lower affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (Ki = 230 nM).[2] Its affinities for these receptors were higher than those of dimethyltryptamine (DMT).[2] RU-28253 is described as a potent agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors,[5] including of the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor,[6] and is also an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT4 receptor.[3][7]

RU-28253 was first described in the scientific literature by 1983.[8][9][2]

Tetrahydropyridylindoles have been of interest since the initial reports showed that RU 24969 (6) and RU 28253 (7) had high potency as 5-HT agonists and were able to differentiate between certain 5-HT receptors (Euvard, 1980; Hunt, 1981).
