Chemistry:S-DMT

From HandWiki

S-DMT, also known as 1-thia-DMT or as N,N-dimethyl-3-(2-aminoethyl)benzo[β]thiophene (N,N-dimethyl-3-AEBT), is a serotonin receptor modulator of the benzothiophene family related to the psychedelic tryptamine dimethyltryptamine (DMT).[1][2] It is the analogue and bioisostere of DMT in which the nitrogen atom of the indole ring has been replaced with a sulfur atom, making the drug a benzothiophene rather than indole or tryptamine derivative.[2] The drug shows about the same activity at the serotonin receptors in the rat fundus strip as DMT.[1][2][3][4] These receptors may correspond to the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor.[5][6] It has not been assessed at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[1] S-DMT was first described in the scientific literature by Richard Glennon and colleagues by 1979.[1][2]
