Abstract

The putative active metabolite of aeruginascin, a naturally occurring tryptamine of "magic mushrooms," has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Competitive radioligand binding assays demonstrate that it has a high affinity at human serotonin receptors 5-HT<sub>1A</sub>, 5-HT<sub>2A</sub>, and 5-HT<sub>2B</sub>, though it does not bind at the 5-HT<sub>3</sub> receptor, where activity was previously predicted.
