Chemical Structure
α-Methylserotonin
- CAS No.: 304-52-9
- Formula:C11H14N2O
- Molecular Weight:190.24
IUPAC Name: 3-(2-aminopropyl)-1H-indol-5-ol
InChIKey: LYPCGXKCQDYTFV-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: OC1=CC2=C(NC=C2CC(C)N)C=C1
Biological Activity: α-Methylserotonin is a potent and selective agonist of 5-HT2 receptor. α-Methylserotonin is an analogue of serotonin formed in vivo from α-methyltryptophan. α-Methylserotonin mediates the lymphatic smooth muscle contraction and prevents the up-regulation of serotonin-receptor-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis[1][2][3].
