Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
DOTFM acts as an agonist at the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. In drug discrimination tests in rats, DOTFM fully substituted for LSD and was slightly more potent than DOI. In addition, -DOTFM robustly induces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents, with equivalent potency as -DOI. The drug is around twice as potent as 2C-TFM in animal studies.In contrast to -DOI, which has extraordinarily potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor-mediated anti-inflammatory effects, DOTFM shows no anti-inflammatory effects. The differences between the drugs in this regard appear to be due to differences in functional selectivity at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.
