5-Benzyloxytryptamine (5-BT) is a selective partial agonist for 5-hydroxytryptamine 1D/1B (5-HT1D/1B) receptors with an IC50 value of 40 nM for bovine caudate 5-HT1D and reduced affinity for other receptors (5-HT2 IC50>470 nM). 5-Benzyloxytryptamine inhibits adenylate cyclase to decrease neurotransmitter release and downregulate cAMP signaling. 5-Benzyloxytryptamine is promising for research of neurotransmitter imbalance-related disorders like migraine.
