4-HO-DPT

From WikiMD.com Medical Encyclopedia

A psychedelic compound



4-HO-DPT (4-hydroxy-N,N-dipropyltryptamine) is a psychedelic compound belonging to the tryptamine class. It is a synthetic derivative of psilocin, the active component in psilocybin mushrooms.

Chemical structure and properties[edit | edit source]

4-HO-DPT is a tryptamine derivative, characterized by a hydroxyl group at the fourth position of the indole ring. Its chemical structure is similar to that of psilocin, with the primary difference being the substitution of the ethyl groups in psilocin with propyl groups in 4-HO-DPT. This modification results in distinct pharmacological properties.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

4-HO-DPT acts primarily as a serotonin receptor agonist, particularly at the 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. The compound's interaction with serotonin receptors leads to alterations in perception, mood, and cognition, characteristic of psychedelic experiences.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 4-HO-DPT are similar to those of other psychedelic tryptamines, such as psilocybin and DMT. Users report visual and auditory hallucinations, altered sense of time, and profound changes in thought processes. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary based on dosage, individual physiology, and environmental factors.

Legal status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 4-HO-DPT varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be classified as a controlled substance, while in others, it may not be specifically regulated. Users should be aware of the legal implications of possessing or using this compound in their respective regions.

Safety and toxicity[edit | edit source]

As with many research chemicals, the safety profile of 4-HO-DPT is not well-established. There is limited data on its toxicity, long-term effects, and potential for abuse. Users should exercise caution and consider the potential risks associated with its use.
