Biochem/physiol Actions

(±)-DOI hydrochloride is a potent and selective 5-HT2 serotonin receptor agonist that crosses the blood-brain barrier, increases dopamine turnover and the treatment with DOI counteracted the expression of the nicotine-induced locomotor and neurochemical sensitization, but had no effect on nicotine-induced behavioral disinhibition. The responses to DOI provide evidence that of these receptors are abundant in the cortex, and show relatively lower levels in hippocampus and cerebellum.

Correlations between 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor binding affinities and human hallucinogenic potency have suggested that 5-HT2 receptors mediate the hallucinogenic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and phenethylamine hallucinogens. Electrophysiological studies have suggested that a subpopulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic interneurons
