Z3517967757, or simply Z7757, is a 3-phenylpiperidine derivative which acts as an agonist at the 5-HT2 family of serotonin receptors, first reported in 2024. It can also be viewed as a ring-restrained phenethylamine.[1] It has strongest activity at the 5-HT2A receptor and lower affinity at the 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors. However, it has been reported to have excellent selectivity for the 5-HT2A receptor, with no agonistic activity at the 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors.[1] The drug was developed using in silico modelling to dock a large library of compounds against a 5-HT2A receptor model generated by the artificial intelligence program AlphaFold, and then synthesised and tested in the laboratory to confirm activity. It has two stereogenic centers and four possible isomers,[2][3][4] and was docked to the 5-HT2A receptor as the (1R,3R) enantiomer YEQ.[5]

This compound was discovered from a 1.6 billion molecule docking screen against the AlphaFold model of the 5-HT2A receptor. Similar to the recent report of LPH-5, Z7757 is a ring-restrained phenethylamine. However, it has a pyrimidine ring substituent coming off the tertiary nitrogen. Remarkably, Z7757 shows excellent selectivity for 5-HT2A with no activity being detected for 5-HT2B or 5-HT2C in calcium mobilization assays, but further optimization to increase potency and in vivo testing is needed.
