Pyrrolidinylmethylindole

Pyrrolidinylmethylindoles, or 3-(pyrrolidin-2-ylmethyl)-1H-indoles, also known as α,N-trimethylenetryptamines, are a group of cyclized tryptamines in which the amine has been cyclized with the α position of the ethyl side chain via a propyl group to form a pyrrolidine ring. They include the psychedelic and related compounds MPMI, 4-HO-MPMI (lucigenol), 5-F-MPMI, and 5-MeO-MPMI and the triptans and related compounds eletriptan and CP-135807. Pyrrolidinylmethylindoles are known to act as serotonin receptor agonists, including of the serotonin 5-HT1 and/or 5-HT2 receptors.[1][2][3][4][5]

MSP-2020 is also a pyrrolidinylmethylindole, though its specific chemical structure has not been disclosed and is unclear.[6][7][8]

[...] MSP-2020 and MSP-2003 are both novel and patentable compounds. They are covered under Mindset's United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent number 17/387,864, titled "3-Pyrrolidine-Indole Derivatives as Serotonergic Psychedelic Agents for the Treatment of CNS Disorders." Mindset has received a notice of allowance from the USPTO for this application. [...] In side-by-side comparisons to psilocybin and psilocin, the two drug candidates elicit in vitro and behavioral responses consistent with a stronger and shorter acting psychedelic effect than psilocybin and a significantly reduced half-life. The drug candidates are CNS penetrant and exhibit high oral bioavailability in different species.
