2,5-Dimethoxy-4-fluoroamphetamine (DOF) is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine classes. Alexander Shulgin briefly describes DOF in his book PiHKAL : [1]

Animal studies that have compared DOF to the highly potent DOI and DOB imply that the human activity will be some four to six times less than these two heavier halide analogues. [2]

DOF showed some stimulating effects in humans, but no psychedelic activity, after three doses of 6 mg spaced by one hour. [3] Researcher Daniel Trachsel further suspected that the molar refraction of the important 4-substituent in DOF and 2C-F may be too low to activate the 5-HT2A receptor sufficiently. [4] DOF more closely mimics the effects of the 4-unsubstituted 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine than the effects of DOC, DOB, and DOI. [5] [6] [7]

The receptor and transporter interactions of DOF have been characterized. [8] [9] [10] As with other DOx drugs, it shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors and acts as an agonist of these receptors. [8] [9] [10] However, it shows much lower affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors than many other DOx drugs and a much lower degree of selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor. [8] [9] [10] The drug lacks significant affinity for the monoamine transporters (MATs), the human trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), and various other receptors. [10]

2C-T-16 is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It was originally named by Alexander Shulgin as described in his book PiHKAL, however while Shulgin began synthesis of this compound he only got as far as the nitrostyrene intermediate, and did not complete the final synthetic step. Synthesis of 2C-T-16 was finally achieved by Daniel Trachsel some years later, and it was subsequently reported as showing similar psychedelic activity to related compounds, with a dose range of 10–25 mg and a duration of 4–6 hours, making it around the same potency as the better-known saturated analogue 2C-T-7, but with a significantly shorter duration of action. Binding studies in vitro showed 2C-T-16 to have a binding affinity of 44 nM at 5-HT2A and 15 nM at 5-HT2C. 2C-T-16 and related derivatives are potent partial agonists of the 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors and induce a head-twitch response in mice.

Richard A. Glennon, PhD is an American medicinal chemist who studies psychedelics, stimulants, entactogens, and other psychoactive drugs. He has been an important pioneer of the use of animal drug discrimination tests in scientific research for studying psychoactive drugs like hallucinogens. Glennon has also done a large amount of work on the structure–activity relationships of psychedelics. In addition, he played an important role in the discovery that the hallucinogenic effects of psychedelics are mediated by activation of serotonin 5-HT2 receptors. He is one of the most widely cited scientists in his field. Glennon was the editor-in-chief of the journal Medicinal Chemistry Research from 1992 to 2002. He retired in 2022 but has continued to publish reviews and research since then.
