5-Carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT), also known as 5-(aminocarbonyl)tryptamine, is a

derivative closely related to the neurotransmitter serotonin.[1]

5-CT acts as a

5-HT1F receptors.[6][1] 5-CT binds most strongly to the 5-HT1A receptor and it was once thought to be selective for this site.[7][8][1]

In 2018, a close derivative of 5-CT,

5-HT1A.[9] Structural study indicated residue Ser5x43 might play critical roles in the selectivity of 5-CT across the serotonin receptor family.[10]
