4-HO-McPeT
4-HO-McPeT (4-Hydroxy-N-methyl-N-cyclopentyltryptamine) is a psychedelic tryptamine that is a structural analog of psilocin. It is part of the substituted tryptamine family, which includes other compounds such as DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and 4-AcO-DMT.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
4-HO-McPeT is a synthetic compound of the tryptamine class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicyclic indole heterocycle attached at R3 to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-HO-McPeT is substituted at R4 of its indole heterocycle with a hydroxy (HO) functional group. It also contains a methyl group and a cyclopentyl group bound to the terminal amine RN of its tryptamine backbone.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The pharmacological mechanisms of 4-HO-McPeT are not fully understood. However, it is believed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic tryptamines. This means it binds to and activates the serotonin receptors in the brain, which leads to its psychedelic effects.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of 4-HO-McPeT can vary greatly depending on the dose, set, and setting. Common effects reported by users include visual hallucinations, enhanced colors, altered thinking processes, and a sense of euphoria. As with all psychedelics, it can also cause negative effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and uncomfortable physical sensations.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of 4-HO-McPeT varies by country. In many countries, it is not explicitly illegal but may be considered a controlled substance analogue under certain laws. Always check local laws before possessing or consuming any potentially illegal substances.
