Richard Glennon

Richard A. Glennon is an American medicinal chemist who studies psychedelics, stimulants, entactogens, and other psychoactive drugs. He has been an important pioneer of the use of animal drug discrimination tests in scientific research for studying psychoactive drugs like hallucinogens. Glennon has also done a large amount of work on the structure–activity relationships of psychedelics. In addition, he played an important role in the discovery that the hallucinogenic effects of psychedelics are mediated by activation of serotonin 5-HT2 receptors. He is one of the most widely cited scientists in his field. Glennon was the editor-in-chief of the journal Medicinal Chemistry Research from 1992 to 2002. He retired in 2022 but has continued to publish reviews and research since then.
