5-MeO-DPT (5-Methoxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine) is a psychedelic compound belonging to the tryptamine class. It is known for its psychoactive effects and is structurally related to other tryptamines such as 5-MeO-DMT and DPT.

Chemical structure and properties

5-MeO-DPT is a synthetic compound with the chemical formula C₁₇H₂₆N₂O. It features a methoxy group at the 5-position of the indole ring, which is a common modification in the tryptamine family that can alter the compound's pharmacological properties. The presence of the diisopropylamino group contributes to its unique effects compared to other tryptamines.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological profile of 5-MeO-DPT is not well-documented, but it is believed to act as a partial agonist at the 5-HT_2A receptor, similar to other psychedelic tryptamines. This interaction is thought to be responsible for its psychoactive effects, which can include alterations in perception, mood, and cognition.

Legal status

The legal status of 5-MeO-DPT varies by country. In many places, it is not specifically scheduled, but it may fall under analog laws that regulate substances similar to controlled drugs. Users should be aware of the legal implications in their jurisdiction.
