Flucindole (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USANTooltip United States Adopted Name; developmental code name WIN-35150) is an antipsychotic of the tetrahydrocarbazolamine family with a tricyclic cyclized tryptamine structure that was never marketed. It is the 6,8-difluoro derivative of ciclindole. The drug is about 5 to 10 times more potent than ciclindole both in vitro and in vivo.

Tetrahydrocarbazolamine

Tetrahydrocarbazolamines, or tetrahydrocarbazolylamines, also known as aminotetrahydrocarbazoles, are a group of cyclized tryptamines in which the indole ring has been cyclized into a tricyclic tetrahydrocarbazole ring system. They include the antipsychotics ciclindole and flucindole, the triptans frovatriptan and LY-344864, and the antiplatelet drug ramatroban.

Substituted tryptamine

Substituted tryptamines, or simply tryptamines, also known as serotonin analogues, are organic compounds which may be thought of as being derived from tryptamine itself. The molecular structures of all tryptamines contain an indole ring system, joined to an amino (NH2) group via an ethyl (−CH2-CH2−) sidechain.

5-Fluoro-AMT

5-Fluoro-αMT, also known as 5-fluoro-α-methyltryptamine or by its developmental code names PAL-212 and PAL-544, is a monoaminergic drug of the tryptamine and α-alkyltryptamine families related to α-methyltryptamine (αMT). It is taken orally.
