5-TFMO-DMT is a psychedelic tryptamine that is found in the human body and in some plants. It is a structural analog of DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), a naturally occurring psychedelic drug.

Chemistry[edit | edit source]

5-TFMO-DMT, also known as 5-Trifluoromethoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a synthetic tryptamine. It is a member of the tryptamine class of compounds, which are structurally derived from the essential amino acid tryptophan. The chemical structure of 5-TFMO-DMT is characterized by a tryptamine backbone with a trifluoromethoxy group at the 5-position of the indole ring and two methyl groups attached to the terminal amine RN of the tryptamine core.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

The exact mechanism of action of 5-TFMO-DMT is not fully understood. However, it is believed to act as an agonist at the 5-HT2A receptor, similar to other psychedelic tryptamines. This receptor is involved in the regulation of a variety of cognitive and physiological processes, including mood, perception, and cognitive function.

The intensity and duration of these effects can vary depending on the dose and individual's physiology.

Safety[edit | edit source]

As with all psychedelic substances, the use of 5-TFMO-DMT carries risks. These can include psychological distress, adverse physical reactions, and dangerous behavior resulting from altered perceptions. It is important to use this substance responsibly and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
