4-Acetoxy-DPT

A synthetic psychedelic compound

4-Acetoxy-DPT (4-AcO-DPT) is a synthetic psychedelic compound belonging to the tryptamine class. It is structurally related to psilocin and 4-AcO-DMT, and is known for its psychoactive effects, which are similar to those of other serotonergic psychedelics.

Chemical Structure and Properties

4-Acetoxy-DPT is the acetate ester of 4-HO-DPT (4-hydroxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine). Its chemical structure consists of a tryptamine backbone with an acetoxy group at the 4-position of the indole ring. The presence of the diisopropylamino group at the ethyl side chain distinguishes it from other tryptamines such as psilocybin and 4-AcO-DMT.

Pharmacology

4-Acetoxy-DPT is believed to act as a partial agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is the primary target for classical psychedelics. This interaction is thought to be responsible for its hallucinogenic effects. The compound may also interact with other serotonin receptors, contributing to its overall pharmacological profile.

Effects

The effects of 4-Acetoxy-DPT are similar to those of other psychedelics, including altered perception of time and space, visual and auditory hallucinations, and changes in thought patterns. Users may experience euphoria, introspection, and a sense of connection with their surroundings. The onset of effects typically occurs within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion, with a duration of action lasting 4 to 6 hours.

Safety and Toxicity

As with many research chemicals, the safety profile of 4-Acetoxy-DPT is not well-established. There is limited data on its toxicity, potential for addiction, and long-term effects. Users should exercise caution and adhere to harm reduction practices when experimenting with this compound.

Legal Status

4-Acetoxy-DPT is not specifically scheduled under the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances, but its legal status may vary by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be considered an analogue of controlled substances, making it illegal under analogue laws.

History and Research

4-Acetoxy-DPT was first synthesized in the late 20th century, but it has not been extensively studied in scientific literature. It remains a compound of interest within the research chemical community, and anecdotal reports suggest a range of subjective experiences.
