2-Iodomescaline (2-I-M), also known as 2-iodo-3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine, is a serotonin receptor modulator of the phenethylamine and scaline families related to mescaline. [1] It is the 2-iodo derivative of mescaline. [1] The drug shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C receptors (Ki = 190 nM, 376 nM, and 240 nM, respectively). [1] These affinities were 16-fold, 12-fold, and 32-fold higher than those of mescaline, respectively. [1] The drug is not known to have been tested in animals or humans. [1] The chemical synthesis of 2-iodomescaline has been described. [2] 2-Iodomescaline was first described in the scientific literature by Jose A. Sintas and colleagues by 1998. [2] Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Daniel Trachsel and colleagues in 2013. [1] The source of the information cited by Trachsel and colleagues was personal communication with David E. Nichols in 2010. [1]
