The drug shows affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors (Ki = 5.5–16 nM, 317–889 nM, 38 nM, and 16 nM, respectively).[2][3][4] It acts as a potent agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor (EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration = 3,846 nM) and of the 5-HT2A receptor (EC50 = 4.11–145 nM; EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy = 109%).[1][3][4] In addition, 5-chlorotryptamine is a serotonin releasing agent (SRA), with EC50 values for induction of monoamine release of 19.1 nM for serotonin, 476 nM for dopamine, and >10,000 nM for norepinephrine in rat brain synaptosomes.[1] Similarly to tryptamine and other simple amine-unsubstituted tryptamines, 5-chlorotryptamine was ineffective in producing the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[3][4]

Tryptamines without substitutions at the amine or alpha carbon, such as tryptamine, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeO-T), are known to be very rapidly metabolized and thereby inactivated by monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) in vivo and to have very short elimination half-lives.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] However, given intravenously at sufficiently high doses, tryptamine is still known to be able to produce weak and short-lived psychoactive effects in humans.[12][6][1][11]

The chemical synthesis of 5-chlorotryptamine has been described.[1]

5-Chlorotryptamine was first described in the scientific literature by 1959.[13][14]

(with 250 mg, intravenously) "Tryptamine was infused intravenously over a period of up to 7.5 minutes. Physical changes included an increases in blood pressure, in the amplitude of the patellar reflex, and in pupillary diameter. The subjective changes are not unlike those seen with small doses of LSD. A point-by-point comparison between the tryptamine and LSD syndromes reveals a close similarity which is consistent with the hypothesis that tryptamine and LSD have a common mode of action."

For instance, clorgyline and deprenyl increased brain levels of 5-HT 8.5-fold and 4.4-fold and of 5-MT 20-fold and 5-fold, respectively.

MARTIN and SLOAN (1970) found that intravenously infused tryptamine increased blood pressure, dilated pupils, enhanced the patellar reflex, and produced perceptual distortions. [...] Tryptamine, but not DMT, increases locomotor activity in the mouse, while both antagonize reserpine depression (V ANE et al., 1961). [...] In the rat, tryptamine causes backward locomotion, Straub tail, bradypnea and dyspnea, and clonic convulsions (TEDESCHI et al., 1959). [...] Tryptamine produces a variety of changes in the cat causing signs of sympathetic activation including mydriasis, retraction of nictitating membrane, piloerection, motor signs such as extension of limbs and convulsions and affective changes such as hissing and snarling (LAIDLAW, 1912).
