5-HO-DiPT
5-HO-DiPT (pronounced: five-h-o-dipt), also known as 5-Hydroxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine, is a psychedelic and hallucinogenic drug. It is a member of the tryptamine family.
Etymology
The name 5-HO-DiPT is an abbreviation of its full chemical name, 5-Hydroxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine. The "5-HO" refers to a hydroxy group attached at the 5th position of the tryptamine backbone, and "DiPT" stands for "diisopropyltryptamine", indicating the two isopropyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom of the tryptamine.
Pharmacology
5-HO-DiPT is a serotonin receptor agonist. It acts primarily at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is thought to be responsible for its hallucinogenic effects. It also has some activity at the 5-HT1A receptor.
Effects
The effects of 5-HO-DiPT are similar to those of other psychedelic tryptamines. They can include visual hallucinations, altered thought processes, and a heightened sense of empathy. The duration of effects is typically 4-6 hours.
