4-HO-McPeT

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

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

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

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

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.
