Abstract
The affinity of ligands for either the 5-HT2A or 5-HT2C agonist binding site was enhanced by modification of the 2, 5-oxygen substituents that are found in typical hallucinogenic amphetamines such as 4b (DOB). Restriction of the conformationally flexible 2, 5-dimethoxy substituents into fused dihydrofuran rings generally resulted in increased potency relative to the parent 2, 5-dimethoxy compounds. The pure enantiomers of these arylalkylamines ...
