RS130-180

RS130-180 is a chemistry topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand RS130-180 rather than just read about it. In short: RS130-180, also known as N-(2-propargyloxy)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-(dimethylamino)phenethylamine, is a β-arrestin-biased serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist of the phenethylamine, 2C, and NBOMe families. It is the NBOMe derivative in which the phenyl ring has an N,N-dimethylamino substitution at the 4 position and the 2-position methoxy group on the benzyl ring has been replaced with a propynyloxy group.

Key takeaways

  • RS130-180 belongs to chemistry; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect RS130-180 to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of RS130-180 from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

RS130-180, also known as N-(2-propargyloxy)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-(dimethylamino)phenethylamine, is a β-arrestin-biased serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist of the phenethylamine, 2C, and NBOMe families. It is the NBOMe derivative in which the phenyl ring has an N,N-dimethylamino substitution at the 4 position and the 2-position methoxy group on the benzyl ring has been replaced with a propynyloxy group. The drug favors activation of β-arrestin signaling over Gq signaling. RS130-180 is said to be useful for in-vitro studies, but to have suboptimal pharmacokinetic properties for in-vivo use. β-Arrestin-biased serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonists do not produce the head-twitch response in rodents and it is thought that they may be non-hallucinogenic in humans. The cryo-EM structures of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor with RS130-180, as well as with various serotonergic psychedelics, have been solved and published by Bryan Roth and colleagues. RS130-180 was first described in the literature by 2022. It was derived from an earlier compound called ZINC000341335936, which was identified via in-silico screening of 1.6 billion molecules for serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonism with AlphaFold2. RS130-180 was developed via structural modification of ZINC000341335936 by David E. Nichols and colleagues.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with RS130-180

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what RS130-180 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to RS130-180 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about RS130-180 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of RS130-180

In research
RS130-180 appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses RS130-180 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
RS130-180 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 25-NB (psychedelics), 5-HT2A agonists, Anilines, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for RS130-180 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
