Description
α-Methylserotonin is a potent and selective agonist of 5-HT2 receptor. α-Methylserotonin is an analogue of serotonin formed in vivo from α-methyltryptophan. α-Methylserotonin mediates the lymphatic smooth muscle contraction and prevents the up-regulation of serotonin-receptor-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis[1][2][3].
