The chemical structure of BP-554.

BP-554, otherwise known as BP 554, IUPAC name 1-[3-(3,4-Methylenedioxyphenoxy)propyl]-4-phenyl-piperazine, is a selective chemical agonist of the 5-HT1A receptor.[1]

By competitive radioligand binding assay, BP-554 has a Ki = 4.7 nM for binding at the 5-HT1A receptor, with substantial selectivity in vitro (several orders of magnitude) versus a variety of other receptors, including 5-HT1 receptors and 5-HT2 receptors.

Serotoninergic transmission selectively mediated through the 5-HT1A receptor has previously shown to be tightly linked to aggression; selective antagonism of 5-HT1A has been shown to reduce aggression.[2] Thus, BP-554 is a potent stimulant of hyperactivity and aggression in humans.

It was originally synthesized and characterized by Matsuda et. al in 1989 at Osaka University and Mitsubishi Kasei Co. at Japan.
