Chemistry:T-NBOMe

From HandWiki

T-NBOMe, or TNBOMe, also known as NBOMe-T, NBOMe-tryptamine, or N-(2-methoxybenzyl)tryptamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator and possible psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family.[1][2][3][4][5] It is the N-(2-methoxybenzyl) derivative of tryptamine.[1][2][4][5]

The drug shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, including for the serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 89 nM, 47 nM, and 224 nM, respectively).[5] It shows 46-fold higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor than tryptamine (Ki = 89 nM vs. 4,074 nM, respectively).[5] T-NBOMe acts as a partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (EC50 = 1,549 nM; Emax = 63%) and as a near-full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (EC50 = 35 nM; Emax = 94%), with 44-fold preference for activation of the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[5] Whereas T-NBOMe had much higher affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor than tryptamine, it showed 89-fold lower activational potency at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor than tryptamine and also had lower activational efficacy at the receptor.[5] In an earlier study however, T-NBOMe showed much greater potency as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (EC50 = 155 nM; Emax = 44%).[2][3][4][5]

The chemical synthesis of T-NBOMe has been described.[2][5]

T-NBOMe was first described in the scientific literature by Ralf Heim and colleagues in 1999.[6][7] It emerged as a novel designer drug by early 2024.[1] However, the properties and effects of T-NBOMe in humans are unknown and it is unclear whether T-NBOMe actually produces hallucinogenic effects.[1]
