5C-D, also known as 4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxy-α-propylphenethylamine, is a putatively non-hallucinogenic serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonist of the phenethylamine and α-propylphenethylamine families related to the 4C drug Ariadne (4C-D).[1][2]

At the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, 5C-D is a potent and higher-efficacy partial agonist, with an EC50Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration of 291 nM and an EmaxTooltip maximal efficacy of 69%.[1][2] It is about half as potent as Ariadne as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist and has about 15% lower efficacy in activating the receptor in comparison.[1][2] 5C-D has also been shown to be a serotonin 5-HT2B receptor agonist.[2] In contrast to Ariadne and serotonergic psychedelics, 5C-D does not produce the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents.[2]

5C-D was first described in the scientific literature by Michael Cunningham and colleagues by 2023.[2] It was synthesized and assessed during structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of Ariadne.[1][2]

As mentioned earlier, the potency and efficacy would be weakened if the methyl group on the α-position of DOM (EC50 = 36.9 nM, Emax = 96.6%) is replaced with an ethyl group (95, ariadne, EC50 = 182 nM, Emax = 79.1%) in the Gq-dissociation BRET assay, and further reduced with an n-propyl group (137, 5C-D, EC50 = 291 nM, Emax = 68.8%).173 These results demonstrated that the length of the alkyl substituent at this position is related to compound activity at the 5-HT2AR.

Furthermore, the α-propyl analog (compound 5C-D) showed an additional decrease in potency (∼2-fold) and efficacy (∼15 % drop) relative to Ariadne (Figure 3D). [...] Also, α-propyl-Ariadne (5C-D) induced HTR response that is indistinguishable from vehicle (Figure S13). [...]
