Infobox references

5-Hydroxyindoline, also known as 2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-5-ol, is a psychoactive substance, saturated (hydrogenated) derivative of indole, which has a hydroxyl group in the 5th position of the benzene ring, structurally belong to the family of indoline derivatives.

Pharmacology

5-Hydroxyindoline has shown superior results as a dopamine D4 receptor ligand, with more selective binding than classical dopaminergic drugs. It is a D4 receptor agonist.[1]

Other studies have shown that 5-hydroxyindoline is an inhibitor of the D2 dopamine receptor.[2]

Occurrence

5-Hydroxyindoline was found and isolated from Phoebe chekiangensis.[1]
