5-Fluoro-AMT
5-Fluoro-α-methyltryptamine (5-Fluoro-αMT, 5F-AMT), also known as PAL-212[1][2] or PAL-544,[3][4] is a putative stimulant, entactogen, and psychedelic tryptamine derivative related to α-methyltryptamine (αMT).It has been found to act as a fairly balanced serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (SNDRA),[3][1] as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist,[1][5] and as a potent and specific MAO-A inhibitor.[11] The potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonism of 5-fluoro-αMT suggests that it could be an active psychedelic in humans, although it is not known to have been tested in humans and could be dangerous due to its strong inhibition of MAO-A.[6] Accordingly, 5-fluoro-αMT induces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic-like effects, in rodents.This drug article relating to the nervous system is a stub.
