Abstract

Therapeutic interest in augmentation of 5-hydroxytryptamine_2A (5-HT_2A) receptor signaling has been renewed by the effectiveness of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of various psychiatric conditions. In this study, we have further characterized the pharmacological properties of the recently developed 5-HT₂receptor agonist N-2-hydroxybenzyl)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-cyanophenylethylamine (25CN-NBOH) and three structural analogs at recombinant 5-HT_2A, 5-HT_2B, and 5-HT_2C receptors and investigated the pharmacokinetic properties of the compound. 25CN-NBOH displayed robust 5-HT_2A selectivity in [³H]ketanserin/[³H]mesulergine, [³H]lysergic acid diethylamide and [³H]Cimbi-36 binding assays (K_i ^2C/K_i ^2A ratio range of 52-81; K_i ^2B/K_i ^2A ratio of 37). Moreover, in inositol phosphate and intracellular Ca²⁺ mobilization assays 25CN-NBOH exhibited 30- to 180-fold 5-HT_2A/5-HT_2C selectivities and 54-fold 5-HT_2A/5-HT_2B selectivity as measured by Δlog(R_max/EC₅₀) values. In an off-target screening 25CN-NBOH (10 μM) displayed either substantially weaker activity or inactivity at a plethora of other receptors, transporters, and kinases. In a toxicological screening, 25CN-NBOH (100 mM) displayed a benign acute cellulartoxicological profile. 25CN-NBOH displayed high in vitro permeability (P_app = 29 × 102⁶ cm/s) and low P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux in a conventional model of cellular transport barriers. In vivo, administration of 25CN-NBOH (3 mg/kg, s.c.) in C57BL/6 mice mice produced plasma and brain concentrations of the free (unbound) compound of ∼200 nM within 15 minutes, further supporting that 25CN-NBOH rapidly penetrates the blood-brain barrier and is not subjected to significant efflux. In conclusion, 25CN-NBOH appears to be a superior selective and brain-penetrant 5-HT₂A receptor agonist compared with (±)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI), and thus we propose that the compound could be a valuable tool for future investigations of physiologic functions mediated by this receptor.
