Source-derived summary

LY-301317, also known as (R)-4,α-methylene-5-(1,3-oxazol-5-yl)-N,N-dipropyltryptamine ((R)-4,α-methylene-5-(1,3-oxazol-5-yl)-DPT), is a potent and selective serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist which has been used in scientific research. It is a cyclized tryptamine and a partial ergoline. The drug shows very high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, with a Ki of 0.26 nM, and is highly selective for this receptor over 9 other assessed targets. It produces various serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonist-associated effects in animals, including behavioral effects, hypothermia, antidepressant-like, anxiolytic-like, and antiemetic effects, and discriminative stimulus effects in drug discrimination tests. LY-301317 was first described in the scientific literature in 1996.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “pharmaceutical compound” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140137828. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
