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.

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

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

Frontiers in pharmacology, 9, 17-17 (2018-02-23)
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

Serotonin 2A receptors, the molecular target of psychedelics, are expressed by neuronal and vascular cells, both of which might contribute to brain haemodynamic characteristics for the psychedelic state. Aiming for a systemic understanding of psychedelic vasoactivity, here we investigated the

5-Hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor (5-HT2AR) agonist psychedelics are increasingly recognized as potentially useful treatments of psychiatric disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, and drug dependence. There is limited understanding of the way they exert their therapeutic action, but inhibition of
