Synthesis and bioactivity of psilocybin analogues containing a stable carbon–phosphorus bond

Abstract

Psilocybin analogues have been synthesized comprising a non-hydrolysable P–C bond to evaluate the biological activity and the selectivity towards 5-HT2AR, 5-HT2BR and the TNAP receptor. No activity was observed towards the phosphatase, however all compounds showed good binding affinity for 5-HT2AR and 5-HT2BR and one compound showed a higher selectivity towards 5-HT2AR than psilocin.
