α-methyl Serotonin (maleate) is an agonist of serotonin (5-HT) receptors. It binds selectively to 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, and 5-HT1D receptors over 5-HT1E receptors. It is also selective for 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors over 5-HT2A receptors. α-methyl Serotonin potentiates motor neuron depolarizations induced by NMDA in the presence of the NMDA receptor antagonist memantine. It also increases dopamine release in a dose-dependent manner. α-methyl Serotonin increases systolic blood pressure and transiently increases heart rate.
