Biophysical validation of serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor interaction. [PDF]
The serotonin (5-HT) 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR) and 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2CR) in the central nervous system are implicated in a range of normal behaviors (e.g., appetite, sleep) and physiological functions (e.g., endocrine secretion) while dysfunctional 5-

Receptor interaction profiles of novel psychoactive tryptamines compared with classic hallucinogens [PDF]
The present study investigated interactions between the novel psychoactive tryptamines DiPT, 4-OH-DiPT, 4-OH-MET, 5-MeO-AMT, and 5-MeO-MiPT at monoamine receptors and transporters compared with the classic hallucinogens lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD ...

Inhibition of alpha oscillations through serotonin-2A receptor activation underlies the visual effects of ayahuasca in humans [PDF]
Ayahuasca is an Amazonian psychotropic plant tea typically obtained from two plants, Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis. It contains the psychedelic 5-HT2A and sigma-1 agonist N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) plus ß-carboline alkaloids with ...

Serotonin 5‐HT2A receptor activity mediates adipocyte differentiation
Serotonin 5‐HT2 receptors are expressed in variety of tissues and play important roles in many processes. The 5‐HT2A receptor is primary known for its role in CNS function. This receptor is, however, expressed in many peripheral tissues where its role remains largely unknown. Here, we present data demonstrating

Structure of a Hallucinogen-Activated Gq-Coupled 5-HT2A Serotonin Receptor
Hallucinogens like lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin, and substituted N-benzyl phenylalkylamines are widely used recreationally with psilocybin being considered as a therapeutic for many neuropsychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
