Funny hybrid of methamp and arylcyclohexylamines..

Looking at beta-methylamphetamine putting more on the beta may just really weaken it to the point of nothingness or even do strange things for blood pressure?
As a dissociative... it's not an n-methyl aspartic acid analogue but if anything a step in the direction of glutamic acid? Glutamate agonists could be neurotoxic so thatd be awkward, but its missing a lot of similarity for that. Also then I'd expect the diphenidines to be risky as well in that sense, plus many more compounds.
Nothing to do with that spacer really, but put a 2'-oxo on there while you're at it? :D overlap with glutamate would be extra funny
@iodo benzo's:
Should work as electron withdrawing groups on the 7- and 2' position increase potency, and 2'-iodo diazepam
has 9x affinity of diazepam - even higher than of flumazenil.
I've had a highly 7 / 2'-position electronegative diazepam analogue I cannot name and it was active in the 100 µg range but also seemed to precipitate withdrawal symptoms a little, making me suspect it's a mixed agonist/antagonist which is not atypical for high affinity ligands. When a drug binds very strongly, it doesn't continue to keep increasing net activation just like hugging someone is not always the more pleasant the longer they continue to hang on. For an antagonist there may not be activation at all, or even if there is for some drugs - the drug may occupy the site for so long that endogenous ligands would have caused more activation per saldo. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't know if the actual action of those super benzo's have been explored or if this tendency is understood by drug designers and psychopharmacologists... but it could be why 7,2'-diiodo benzos might be absolute monsters. Then again, there exist ultra potent agonists without having that mixed agonism/antagonism or plain antagonism.
Do they keep the receptor in an activated conformation? Are they just that 'good' ?
