Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics MALM acts as a potent agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors. Its affinities (Ki) were 150nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and 900nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor, whereas its activational potencies ( ()) were 2.9nM (89%) at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor and 9.5nM (101%) at the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor. Besides the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors, the drug showed little to no activity at various other assessed targets, such as the monoamine transporters. It does not appear to have been tested for psychedelic-like activity in animals. == History ==

History

MALM was first described in the scientific literature by Daniel Trachsel in 2013. Subsequently, it was characterized in more detail by a group including Trachsel and Matthias Liechti in 2019. The compound's name is said to derive from its benzene ring substituents, "methoxy allyloxy methoxy". ==Society and culture==
