Description

4-Benzyloxyindole is a serotonin receptor binding agent. It has a macrocyclic structure that is composed of four benzyloxy groups and a nitrogen atom in the center. The 4-benzyloxyindole binds to the serotonin receptors, specifically to those that are G-protein coupled and mediate intracellular signaling cascades. 4-Benzyloxyindole has been shown to be an inhibitor of calcium channels and may be used for treatment of diseases such as hypertension, schizophrenia, depression, migraine headaches, and epilepsy.
