Clinical data
Other names	BMB201; BMB-A39a prodrug
Drug class	Non-hallucinogenic serotonin 5-HT_2A and 5-HT_2C receptor partial agonist

BMB-201 is a serotonin 5-HT_2A and 5-HT_2C receptor agonist described as a non-hallucinogenic psychoplastogen which is under development for the treatment of depression, anxiety, pain, and other indications.

The drug is a prodrug of another compound called BMB-A39a. It acts as a partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT_2A and 5-HT_2C receptors. BMB-A39a is less efficacious in activating G_q signaling at the serotonin 5-HT_2A and 5-HT_2C receptors compared to psilocin (E_maxTooltip Maximal efficacy = 68% vs. 82% at 5-HT_2A and 79% vs. 95% at 5-HT_2C for BMB-201 and psilocin, respectively). The EC₅₀Tooltip half-maximal effective concentration value of BMB-A39a in activating the serotonin 5-HT_2C receptor is around 10-fold higher than for activating the 5-HT_2A receptor (EC₅₀ = 6.7 nM and 71.2 nM, respectively). In addition to the serotonin 5-HT_2A and 5-HT_2C receptors, BMB-A39a is a potent partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT_1F and 5-HT₆ receptors. Conversely, BMB-A39a shows minimal or negligible activity in activating the serotonin 5-HT_2B receptor (E_max < 20%) and does not activate other serotonin receptors.

BMB-201 is said to have minimal or absent psychedelic effects due to its reduced serotonin 5-HT_2A receptor intrinsic activity but to potently induce neuroplasticity. It has been reported to show effectiveness in animal models of depression, anxiety, pain, and substance use disorder.

BMB-201 is under development by Bright Minds Biosciences. As of October 2024, its highest developmental phase is preclinical research. The chemical structure of BMB-201 does not yet appear to have been disclosed.
