5-Methoxytryptamine (5-MT), also known as mexamine, is a tryptamine derivative closely related to the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin. 5-MT has been shown to occur naturally in the body in low levels.^[1] It is biosynthesized via the deacetylation of melatonin in the pineal gland.^[1]

5-MT acts as a full agonist at the 5-HT₁, 5-HT₂, 5-HT₄, 5-HT₆, and 5-HT₇ receptors.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] It has no affinity for the 5-HT₃ receptor and its affinity for the 5-HT_1E receptor is very weak in comparison to the other 5-HT₁ receptors.^[5]^[9] Its affinity for the 5-HT_5A receptor is unknown.

Measured affinity for some receptors (incomplete list):

5-HT_1B receptors (K_i = 35 nM) ^[10]
5-HT_1D receptors (K_i = 7.3 nM)^[11]
5-HT_1E receptors (K_i = 3151 nM)^[12]
5-HT_1F receptors (K_i = 1166 nM)^[13]
5-HT_2A receptors (K_i = 295 nM)^[14]
5-HT_2B receptors (K_i = 16.4 nM)^[15]
5-HT_2C receptors (K_i = 52.48 nM) ^[16]
5-HT₄ receptors (K_i = 501.18 nM)^[17]
5-HT₆ receptors (K_i = 69.18 nM)^[18]
5-HT₇ receptors (K_i = 5.01 nM)^[19]
