Pharmacodynamics The drug was assessed at and showed
affinity for the
serotonin 5-HT2A and
5-HT1A receptors, with Ki values of 340nM and 1,300nM, respectively. Its affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor was about 15-fold lower than that of
DOB and
DOI, whereas its affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor was the same as that of DOI and was about half that of DOB. TFMBOX also very weakly
inhibited the reuptake of serotonin ( = 9,900nM), but did not affect
dopamine or
norepinephrine reuptake ( = >50,000–100,000nM). The drug fully substituted for
LSD in rodent
drug discrimination tests, albeit with about one-third of the
potency of DOB and
2C-B. ==Chemistry==
