What's up with this compound? It's one carbon atom bigger than DMT...

wiki said:RU-28306 is a tricyclic tryptamine derivative which acts as a serotonin receptor agonist, with selectivity for 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 subtypes. It can be regarded either as a conformationally constrained derivative of DMT, or a structurally simplified analogue of LSD, but the binding affinity of racemic RU-28306 is closer to that of DMT, though with relatively higher affinity for 5-HT2 subtypes and lower for 5-HT1.[1]
source in Life Sciences article said:In an attempt to define pharmacophoric differences between 5-HT1, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 recognition sites, a number of rigid analogs were studied and compared to analogous free chain tryptamines. Racemic partial ergolines RU 27849 and RU 28306 showed reduced potency at all 5-HT1 sites, but were at least equipotent to analogous tryptamines at the 5-HT2 site. A nonergoline-like constrained analog of tryptamine was similar in potency to RU 27849 at all 5-HT1 sites, but showed a 4-fold enhancement in potency over RU 27849 and tryptamine at the 5-HT2 site. At all 3 sites, 3-(tetrahydropyridyl) indoles (unless substituted at the indole 2-position) were the most potent rigid analogs studied and represent the most promising class for the development of selective compounds.
