1-Aminomethylbenzocycloalkanes: conformationally restricted hallucinogenic phenethylamine analogues as functionally selective 5-HT2A receptor agonists.
A series of conformationally restricted analogues of the hallucinogenic phenethylamine 1 (2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenethylamine, 2C-B) was synthesized to test several hypotheses concerning the… Expand

Dihydrobenzofuran analogues of hallucinogens. 3. Models of 4-substituted (2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)alkylamine derivatives with rigidified methoxy groups.
Tetrahydrobenzodifuran functionalities were employed as conformationally restricted bioisosteres of the aromatic methoxy groups in prototypical hallucinogenic phenylalkylamines 1 and 2. Thus, a… Expand

p-methylthioamphetamine is a potent new non-neurotoxic serotonin-releasing agent.
p-Methylthioamphetamine (MTA), was compared to p-chloroamphetamine (PCA) in a number of pharmacological assays. MTA was about 2-fold more potent than PCA at inhibiting synaptosomal uptake of… Expand

Psychostimulant-like effects of p-fluoroamphetamine in the rat.
The present study was undertaken to compare the pharmacological properties of p-fluoroamphetamine with those of amphetamine and of other halogenated amphetamines, using several in vivo and in vitro… Expand

1-(2,5-Dimethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-aminopropane: a potent serotonin 5-HT2A/2C agonist.
A method was found to synthesize 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)-2-aminopropane, 5, and its des-alpha-methyl congener 2-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)aminoethane, 6, the… Expand

Lysergamides of isomeric 2,4-dimethylazetidines map the binding orientation of the diethylamide moiety in the potent hallucinogenic agent N,N-diethyllysergamide (LSD).
Lysergic acid amides were prepared from (R,R)-(-)-, (S,S)-(+)-, and cis-2,4-dimethyl azetidine. The dimethylazetidine moiety is considered here to be a rigid analogue of diethylamine, and thus, the… Expand

A novel (benzodifuranyl)aminoalkane with extremely potent activity at the 5-HT2A receptor.
A major focus of our research for a number of years has been to understand the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of classical hallucinogens and their derivatives, the pharmacological action of… Expand

Behavioral effects of the highly selective serotonin releasing agent 5-methoxy-6-methyl-2-aminoindan.
The behavioral effects of 5-methoxy-6-methyl-2-aminoindan (MMAI) were examined using the drug discrimination procedure and direct observation for classification of the characteristic syndrome induced… Expand

Dihydrobenzofuran analogues of hallucinogens. 4. Mescaline derivatives.
Dihydrobenzofuran and tetrahydrobenzodifuran functionalities were employed as conformationally restricted bioisosteres of the aromatic methoxy groups in the prototypical hallucinogen, mescaline (1).… Expand

Synthesis and pharmacological examination of benzofuran, indan, and tetralin analogues of 3,4-(methylenedioxy)amphetamine.
Benzofuran, indan and tetrahydronaphthalene analogs of 3,4-(methylenedioxy)amphetamine (MDA) were prepared in order to examine the role of the dioxole ring oxygen atoms of MDA in interacting with the… Expand
