I Like to Draw Pictures of Random Molecules

i don't think that much bulk on the phenyl ring will work out... (that is, guessing that you're trying to make something like a dissociative) who knows though.
 
Yeah, I was hoping for a long lasting NMDA antagonist, perhaps one to utilize the other propitiates drugs like ketamine have such as low dose antidepressant effects. The N-iPR group would likely get cleaved off, and your left with this bulk chain, increasing lipophlicity. The fact it has a phenylethylamine backbone may make it more active at the NE sites, but I think it's lack of alpha substitution would mean it gets killed by MAO-A

I really need to put more thought into these, It's basically just drawing pretty pictures at the moment rather than drug design
 
While we are on the topic of novel dissociatives & chemical masturbation, why have I not heard more on the potent NMDA-blocker etoxadrol & derivatives?

i can't seem to get it to work, but could someone draw "MD-MPA" (methylendioxy-methiopropamine)
this just keeps popping into my mind

could anyone see this working?

I don't expect it to be very stable. Or fun.

There were, however, DMT analogues that look scarily like this in a recent Nichols paper.
 
I have no idea what I am doing.

Anyone have some good source (website/(e)Book) where I can learn what different groups and parts do ? I have some basic chemistry knowledge but zero drug-related.

It's called "structure activity relationships", and many chemists spend their whole lives trying to figure it out. Start by reading PihKAL and TiHKAL by Sasha Shulgin, then read a bunch of David Nichols' papers too while you're at it.
 
I started reading PiHKAL some weeks ago, primarily just the chems. TiHKAL is waiting here too :)
 
I literally just downloaded chemsketch, and henceforth I will be ruining this nice thread with my amateurish rubbish. I present:

You may begin swearing at me in anger now.

How so? (That's a genuine question, not me being an asshole). Should it look like this instead?

I lifted most of the structure from bk-MDMA
 
^Phenethylamines only have two carbons before the nitrogen. It's not that you were wrong per se, it's just that when you're trying out several novel substitutions at once, it can get a lil confusing. ;)

^anyone know of any drug compounds with a pyran ring?
THC comes to mind.
Pyran ring is a six-membered heterocycle with two double bonds and an oxygen atom. There's no pyran in THC.
There is in CBN though.

How about some aMT analogues?
Haha I smiled when I saw your bk-version, you definitely inspired pyr-αMT! Wish I could say more about it...

Turns out that for an amphetamine to be active, it has to be basic, i.e., it has to be able to grab another hydrogen and put it on the nitrogen. Unfortunately, putting an electronegative fluorine near that nitrogen really limits the compound's ability to do that. So, this would probably not be active :(

Hehe why thank you
 
Thanks guys for your seemingly endless reserves of patience. I know it must get frustrating having people like me roll up with their fancy useless molecules, but I am hoping to steal nuggets of knowledge from you where possible.
 
^Actually, (and some of the ADD crew may disagree) I think that the molecules that don't work are the ones that I've learned the most from! Everytime someone posts an inactive structure here, it seems that everyone jumps on to teach us all why it won't work. The more "useless" ones that get posted, the more we subscribers to this thread get to learn! :)

On that note, I've wondered how 5-HTP analogs would be metabolized:

5-MTP ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 4-HTP

Not at all. I love blabbering about SAR stuff :)
Edit: By the way, most of the molecules we are drawing are just completely random crap. There's very little method to our madness, so don't be intimidated.

Try this one on for size :P

5-hydroxy-N-acetyltryptophan, possible precursor to the grand-daddy of endogenous antidepressants: N-acetylserotonin

^Haha I like it! Being a huge proponent of psilocin, I always find myself hydroxylating the 4-position...


N-acetyl-4HT ~ ~ 4-hydroxy-N-acetyltryptophan

I was even thinking about going for 4-AcO-N-acetyltryptophan, but it seemed a bit.. ketotic. ;)

EDIT:

N,N-DMTP

reEDIT: ^Or I guess not for that last one... www.cognitiveliberty.org/shulgin/adsarchive/dmt.htm

v4.0: ^Haha I spoke too soon, apparently its pharmacology remains untested! Also, take a look at these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plakohypaphorine

Final Take: Tomorrow I want to start taking substitutions from various MTn-agonists to see how they'll fit on some phenethylamines, and maybe vice-versa? :)
