4-AcO-DPT

4-AcO-DPT

4-AcO-DPT (or 4-Acetoxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine) is a psychedelic drug and a structural analog of psilocin. It is classified as a tryptamine, a large family of compounds that share a common indole ring structure. 4-AcO-DPT is relatively unknown and not commonly used for recreational purposes.

Chemistry

4-AcO-DPT is a synthetic compound of the tryptamine class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R3 to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-AcO-DPT is substituted at R4 of its indole ring with an acetoxy (AcO) functional group CH3COO−. It also contains two propyl chains attached to the terminal amine RN of its tryptamine backbone (DPT).

Pharmacology

The pharmacology of 4-AcO-DPT is not well-studied. However, like other psychedelics in the tryptamine family, it is thought to act primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist. More specifically, it is believed to have a high affinity for the 5-HT2A receptor, which is associated with its psychedelic effects.

Effects

The effects of 4-AcO-DPT can vary greatly depending on the dose, set, and setting. Common effects reported by users include visual hallucinations, enhanced sensory perception, emotional introspection, and altered sense of time. Some users also report experiencing negative effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and uncomfortable physical sensations.

Legality

The legality of 4-AcO-DPT varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess and use. It is always important to check the laws in your area before using any new substance.
