(R)-69 (3IQ) is a tetrahydropyridine derivative which acts as a 5-HT2A receptor agonist, with 4.6x selectivity over 5-HT2B and 49x selectivity over 5-HT2C. It has a 5-HT2A Ki of 680nM and an EC50 of 41nM. (R)-69 is a biased agonist selective for activation of the Gq coupled signalling pathway, with much weaker activation of the β-arrestin 2 coupled pathway. In animal studies it produces antidepressant-like activity but without producing the head-twitch response associated with psychedelic effects.[1]
