5-Fluorotryptamine is a partial agonist at 5-HT(3) receptors, and reveals that size and electronegativity at the 5 position of tryptamine are critical for efficient receptor function

Antagonists, but not agonists, of the 5-HT(3) receptor are useful therapeutic agents, and it is possible that partial agonists may also be potentially useful in the clinic. Here we show that 5-fluorotryptamine (5-FT) is a partial agonist at both 5-HT(3A) and 5-HT(3AB) receptors with an R(max) (I(max...
