4-HO-MiPT

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

4-HO-MiPT (also known as 4-Hydroxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine and Miprocin) is a psychedelic tryptamine compound and is considered a serotonin receptor agonist. It is part of the substituted tryptamines family, which also includes other compounds such as psilocin, DMT, and 5-MeO-DMT.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

4-HO-MiPT 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-MiPT is substituted at R4 of its indole heterocycle with a hydroxyl functional group OH−. It also contains two methyl groups CH3- bound to the terminal amine RN of its tryptamine backbone (MiPT).

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The pharmacology of 4-HO-MiPT is not fully understood. However, it is known to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, which means it binds to and activates certain serotonin receptors in the brain. This action is thought to be responsible for its psychedelic effects. Like other tryptamines, 4-HO-MiPT is believed to act primarily on the 5-HT2A receptor.

Effects[edit | edit source]

The effects of 4-HO-MiPT are often compared to those of other psychedelic tryptamines like psilocybin and DMT. Users report a wide range of effects, including visual hallucinations, enhanced colors, altered thinking processes, and a sense of euphoria. The intensity and duration of these effects can vary widely depending on the dose and individual user's physiology.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

The legal status of 4-HO-MiPT varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess for personal use. It is always important to understand the legal implications of possessing or using this substance in your specific location.

Safety[edit | edit source]

As with all psychedelic substances, safety should be a primary concern when using 4-HO-MiPT. It is recommended that users take precautions such as having a sober sitter present, using a test kit to verify the substance's identity, and starting with a low dose.
