In vitro binding experiments on brain homogenates showed it to have serotonin receptor binding affinity between that of MiPT and 5-MeO-MiPT, both of which are known to be active psychedelics in humans.
Experiments conducted outside a living organism (in vitro) on brain tissue extracts showed its capacity to bind to serotonin receptors with an affinity similar to that of MiPT and 5-MeO-MiPT, substances known to produce psychedelic effects in humans.
