Description

2-Bromo-6-nitrotoluene is a chemical compound that has been shown to bind to the 5-HT7 receptor of the human protein. It has been shown to have affinity for this receptor and functional assays have found it to be selective for this receptor. The hydrogen bonding interactions between 2-bromo-6-nitrotoluene and the 5-HT7 receptor are stronger than those between 2-bromo-6-nitrotoluene and other receptors, such as the 5-HT1A and 5HT1D receptors. Additionally, molecular modeling studies have shown that 2-bromo-6-nitrotoluene has a higher binding affinity for the 5HT7 receptor than other serotonin receptors. This molecule has been synthesized by researchers in a scalable synthesis process with high yields. The intramolecular hydrogen bonds may also help stabilize this molecule in vivo, as they would not be expected to break down
