10,11-Secoergoline, also known as 3-(2-piperidylmethyl)indole or as α,N-tetramethylenetryptamine, is the structure of ergoline in which the bond between the 10 and 11 positions of the ring system has been broken to unconstrain the molecule.[1][2] It is also a tryptamine with the amine cyclized into a piperidine ring connected to the α position.[1][2]

A notable derivative of 10,11-secoergoline is CT-5252 (methyl-12-bromo-8,9-didehydro-2,3β-dihydro-6-methyl-10,11-secoergoline-8-carboxylate), which is an analogue of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) with some of the same behavioral effects in animals but with much lower potency.[3][4][5]

The dihydroindole derivative 11 was prepared by Sivajian and found to be 1/48 as active as LSD in studies with guinea pigs (38). Sivajian (38) also reported biological activities in the guinea pig for arecoline 12, 6-methylarecoline 13, and 5-phenyl-6-methylarecoline 14. These compounds were devoid of LSD-like activity in guinea pigs.

These included arecoline-HBr, Methyl-12-bromo-8,9-didehydro-2,3-beta-dihydro-6-methyl-10,11-secoergoline-8-carboxylate, and 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-5-phenyl-1,6-dimethyldiethylnicotinamide-HCI. Of these compounds only the methyl-12-bromo-8,9-didehydro-2,3-beta-dihydro-6-methyl-10,11-secoergoline-8-carboxylate derivative showed some activity. It disrupted the conditioned avoidance response in guinea pigs into a disorderly reflex movement of varying duration. While acetyl LSD was quite active, the acetyl derivatives obtained by acetylation of the indole nitrogen of the compounds were usually less active.
