Pharmacology

DOF acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. The compound's activity at other serotonin receptors, such as 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C, may also contribute to its overall pharmacological profile.
