O-4310, also known as 1-isopropyl-6-fluoropsilocin, is a serotonin receptor agonist of the tryptamine family.[1][2] It is the 1-isopropylated and 6-flourinated derivative of the serotonergic psychedelic psilocin.[2]

Pharmacology

The drug is said to be a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist and to be highly selective for activation of this receptor over the closely related serotonin 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors.[2] Its EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor was reported to be 5 nM and it was said to have an EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy of 89% relative to serotonin.[2] Conversely, O-4310 was said to be inactive at the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, with no EC50 or Emax reported for this receptor, and was claimed to have an EC50 of 592 nM at the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor with an Emax of approximately 50%.[2] Hence, O-4310 appears to show about 118-fold selectivity for activation of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor.[2]

The pharmacodynamic activity of O-4310 was briefly described in a patent but not in the published scientific literature.[2][1] If the reported data are accurate, O-4310, along with other drugs like 25CN-NBOH and (S,S)-DMBMPP, would be one of the most selective known agonists of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over the other serotonin 5-HT2 receptors.[3]

History

O-4310 was patented by Bryan Roth and colleagues in 2006 and the patent was assigned to the American pharmaceutical company Organix Inc as well as a couple of other assignees.[2] The drug was also employed in an animal study and described in the scientific literature by a group of Iranian researchers in 2017.[1]

The psychedelic phenethylamines typically exhibit less than 5–10-fold selectivity for 5-HT2A over 5-HT2C receptors.53,54 Notable exceptions include (S,S)-DMBMPP and 25CN-NBOH (Figure 3), which are the most selective 5-HT2AR agonists published to date.49,58–61 (S,S)-DMBMPP exhibits more than 100-fold higher binding affinity for the 5-HT2AR over 5-HT2CR, and 25CN-NBOH has substantially higher agonist potencies at 5-HT2AR compared to 5-HT2CR.
