5-Fluoro-AET, also known as 5-fluoro-α-ethyltryptamine or by the code name PAL-545, is a substituted tryptamine derivative which acts as a serotonin–dopamine releasing agent (SDRA) and as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.[1]
Its EC50 values for monoamine release are 36.6 nM for serotonin, 5,334 nM for norepinephrine, and 150 nM for dopamine in rat brain synaptosomes.[1] Its EC50 at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor is 246 nM and its Emax at the receptor is 87%.[1]
Several close analogues of 5-fluoro-αET, including 5-fluoro-αMT and 5-chloro-αMT, are known to be potent monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), specifically of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A).[2] However, α-ethyltryptamine (αET) is a very weak MAOI.[3][4] 5-Fluoro-αET has also more recently been assessed, and in contrast to αET, but similarly to drugs like 5-fluoro-αET, was found to be a potent MAOI, with an IC50 of 2,480 nM.[5] Potent monoamine oxidase inhibition by monoamine releasing agents (MRAs) has been associated with dangerous and sometimes fatal toxicity in humans.[2]
