5-HT1 and 5-HT2 binding profiles of the serotonergic agents alpha-methylserotonin and 2-methylserotonin.
alpha-Methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (alpha-Me-5-HT; 2) and 2-methyl-5-hydroxytryptamine (2-Me-5-HT; 3) are considered to be 5-HT2-selective and 5-HT3-selective agents, respectively. These agents were synthesized and examined at serotonin (5-HT) binding sites
