Used in research as a potent and selective agonist for serotonin 5-HT2C receptors, showing potential in the development of treatments for obesity and substance use disorders. Demonstrates strong central nervous system penetration and has been studied for its effects on appetite suppression and modulation of dopaminergic activity. Its structural properties allow for high affinity binding to 5-HT2C receptors, making it a valuable tool compound in neuropharmacology studies focused on behavioral and metabolic regulation. Not intended for human use; strictly for preclinical research.
