Enricham

Enricham is a chemical compound with the formula C20H24N2O2. It is a derivative of the alkaloid harmine, which is found in the seeds of the plant Strychnos nux-vomica. Enricham is a potent antagonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, a type of receptor involved in various physiological processes, including mood regulation, appetite, and cognition. Its primary use is as a research tool in neuroscience to study the role of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in these processes. Enricham is typically administered orally or intravenously in animal studies. It has also been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of depression and anxiety, due to its ability to modulate serotonin signaling. However, its clinical use is limited due to its short half-life and potential for side effects. Enricham was first synthesized in the 1990s and has since been used in numerous scientific studies to better understand the function of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.
