Abstract: The 5-HT receptor is a critical target in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Bufotenine derivatives, such as 5-methoxy-,-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), 5-hydroxy-,-dimethyltryptamine (5-OH-DMT) ...The 5-HT receptor is a critical target in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Bufotenine derivatives, such as 5-methoxy-,-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), 5-hydroxy-,-dimethyltryptamine (5-OH-DMT), and 5-hydroxy-,,-dimethyltryptamine-derived from traditional Chinese medicine-have shown antidepressant potential. However, the structural basis of their interaction with 5-HT and their pharmacological profiles remain incompletely understood. This study investigated bufotenine derivatives acting on multiple serotonin receptors, highlighting 5-HT as a key mediator of antidepressant effects while recognizing 5-HT as primarily responsible for hallucinogenic outcomes, to identify candidates with therapeutic efficacy but reduced hallucinogenic liability. We determined the cryo-electron microscopy structures of 5-HT bound to selected bufotenine derivatives. Functional assays in mice, including behavioral tests and receptor activation studies, were used to evaluate the antidepressant of each compound. Structural analysis revealed that all bufotenine derivatives engage conserved motifs within the 5-HT binding pocket, with 5-OH-DMT displaying a distinct interaction pattern. Behavioral assays showed that 5-OH-DMT and 5-MeO-DMT retained strong antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. These pharmacological differences correlate with their unique receptor binding conformation. This study delineated the structural pharmacology of bufotenine derivatives at the 5-HT receptor, identifying 5-OH-DMT and 5-MeO-DMT as promising antidepressant and anxiolytic candidates. The findings establish a molecular framework for the development of next-generation nonhallucinogenic therapeutics aimed at 5-HT.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
