Biochem/physiol Actions
25CN-NBOH is a brain-penetrant, highly potent and selective 5-HT2A receptor agonist (human 2A/rat 2C Ki = 1.3/132 nM; human 2A/2C PI turnover EC50 = 2.1/190 nM) with much reduced efficacy toward human 2B & 2C subtypes (Ki ratio: 2C/2A = 52-81 & 2B/2A = 37; Ca2+ mobilization Δlog(Rmax/EC50 ratio: 2C/2A = 30-180 & 2B/2A = 54; 2C/2A PI turnover EC50 ratio = 81-146) and other receptors/transporters/kinases. When administered in mice in vivo (1, 3, 6 mg/kg s.c.), 25CN-NBOH produces hallucinogen-like effects blockable by 5-HT2A antagonist M100907, but not 5-HT2C antagonist RS102221.

Timing deficits are observed in patients with schizophrenia. Serotonergic hallucinogens can also alter the subjective experience of time. Characterizing the mechanism through which the serotonergic system regulates timing will increase our understanding of the linkage between serotonin (5-HT) and schizophrenia

There is evidence that mGlu2/3 receptors regulate 5-HT2A signaling, interactions that have been theorized to play a role in the antipsychotic-like effects of mGlu2/3 agonists as well as the hallucinogenic effects of 5-HT2A agonists. One approach to unraveling this interaction

N-Benzyl substitution of 5-HT2A receptor agonists of the phenethylamine structural class of psychedelics (such as 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, often referred to as 2C-B) confer a significant increase in binding affinity as well as functional activity of the receptor. We have prepared a

Serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors are the primary site of action of hallucinogenic drugs and the target of atypical antipsychotics. 5-HT2A receptors are also implicated in executive function, including behavioral flexibility. Previous studies showed that 5-HT2A receptor blockade improved behavioral flexibility

The serotonin (5-HT) 2A receptor is the primary molecular target of serotonergic hallucinogens, which trigger large-scale perturbations of the cortex. Our understanding of how 5-HT2A activation may cause the effects of hallucinogens has been hampered by the receptor unselectivity of
