2,5-Dimethoxy-4-cyanoamphetamine (DOCN) is a serotonergic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families.[1][2][3] It is a DOx derivative with a cyano group (–C≡N) at the 4 position of the molecule.[1][2][3]

Use and effects

[edit | edit source]

The effects of DOCN in humans and whether it is a psychedelic are unknown.[1]

Interactions

Pharmacology

[edit | edit source]

DON shows much lower affinities for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors than other DOx drugs.[4][2][3] However, DOCN also showed by far the greatest degree of selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (22-fold) of any other assessed DOx drug.[5][6][2] Applying this strategy (i.e., cyano substitution) to the 25-NB series resulted in the discovery of 25CN-NBOH, one of the most selective serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonists discovered to date.[5][7]

DOCN was first described in the scientific literature by Richard Glennon and colleagues by 1989.[9][3]
