N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine
N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (MIPT) is a psychedelic and hallucinogenic drug that belongs to the tryptamine family. It is known for its ability to induce a unique set of visual, auditory, and sensory effects.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
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. MIPT is substituted at R1 of its indole heterocycle with a methyl (CH3) group, it also contains two isopropyl groups bound to the terminal amine RN of its tryptamine backbone (MIPT).
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
The pharmacology of MIPT is not well-studied. However, it is known to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic tryptamines. This action at the serotonin receptors is thought to be responsible for its psychedelic effects.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The effects of MIPT can vary greatly depending on the dose, set, and setting. Common effects include visual hallucinations, changes in perception, euphoria, and cognitive enhancement. At higher doses, it can cause more intense hallucinations, confusion, and anxiety.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
The legal status of MIPT varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess for personal use.
