But if you read the patent, they don't specify that the compounds are all selective 5HT2a ligands.
Thinking about it, the reason we haven't seen 7-methyl AMT or similar is that 8-substituted indole systems are a pain to make. 5-substituted are much more accessible.
Exactly so ridiculous it is unbelievable. I mean it is not 200 tryptamines like the OP said but more like combination 200x500x400x...etc!! like billions of billions of molecules!!! Literally those guys are trying to cover every single imaginable fluorinated indoles in the universe on almost 300 pages! Perfect illustration of the Ego grabing at "mine mine mine, ALL indoles are mine!"..crazy! The irony is that those psychedelics they are dealing with are actually very useful for one thing; KILL THE EGO.The absurdity of intellectual property rears its fugly head in this development
It's a blast
Anyway, from what I've read, putting a halogen in the 5 position of tryptamine, makes for compouds with sizeable MAOI activity.
Groups that occupy the active site, but prevent the conformational change to he active enzyme structure. OH groups have a lot of imitatorswhy would that be and wouldn't it depend on the halogen for its electronegativity?
