Q

For CNS activity what do you not want?

A
  • Dont want substituent on ring
  • Dont want tertiary nitrogen
  • Dont want a long chain on the alpha carbon
    • Can have methyl or ethyl but propyl is too big
  • If it as any of these things CNS activity is decreased

R=?

What other things

29
Q

What is the number one metabolite for amphetamine?

What else can it be metabolized to though?

A
  • Amphetamine
  • Can also be metabolized to carboxylic acid and hydroxyamine
30
Q

31
Q

Classical hallucinogen posses what general structure?

What are the two major categories?

A

Ar-C-C-N

  • Where Ar is a substitued phenyl, 3-indolyl, 3-indoyl moiety, C-C is an ethyl or branched ethyl chain, N is primary, secondary, or tertiary amine
  • indolealkylamine IAAs, phenylalkylamines (PAAs), These have different SARs

Classical agents meet the hollister definition and also bind to 5-HT2 receptors

32
Q
