5-MeO-DPT

5-MeO-DPT, or 5-methoxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine, is a synthetic psychedelic tryptamine. It is structurally related to other tryptamines like DMT and 5-MeO-DMT, but differs in its alkyl substituents on the nitrogen atom and the presence of a methoxy group at the 5 position of the indole ring.

5-MeO-DPT is reported to produce psychedelic effects, including alterations in perception, thought, and mood. Anecdotal reports and limited research suggest that its effects can vary widely depending on dosage, individual sensitivity, and setting. The duration of effects typically lasts several hours.

Due to its psychoactive properties, 5-MeO-DPT is controlled in many jurisdictions. The legal status varies by country and region; in some places, it is explicitly illegal, while in others, it may be controlled under analogue laws if it is considered structurally similar to other controlled substances.

Synthesis routes for 5-MeO-DPT typically involve the N-alkylation of 5-methoxy-tryptamine with propyl groups. The specific synthetic methods may vary, and details are often found in chemical literature or clandestine laboratory reports.

Information regarding the pharmacology of 5-MeO-DPT is limited, but it is believed to act primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor. Its effects on other receptors and neurotransmitter systems are not fully understood.

The use of 5-MeO-DPT carries potential risks, including psychological distress, anxiety, and panic attacks. It may also interact negatively with certain medications or pre-existing medical conditions. Due to the limited research and potential for adverse effects, caution is advised when considering its use. Detailed information on potential risks and side effects can be difficult to obtain due to the limited research available and the unregulated nature of the substance.
