Propylisopropyltryptamine

Propylisopropyltryptamine (also known as PiPT) is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is a homologue of the drug Diisopropyltryptamine (DiPT) and, more distantly, of the classic psychedelic tryptamine psilocybin. PiPT is classified as a tryptamine, a family of compounds that have a core structure consisting of a bicyclic indole heterocycle attached at R3 to an amino group via an ethyl side chain.

Chemistry

Propylisopropyltryptamine, or PiPT, is a synthetic alkylated tryptamine. It is the propyl homologue of DiPT. The full chemical name of this structure is N-propyl-N-isopropyltryptamine. The molecular formula is C14H22N2 and it has a molar mass of 218.34 g/mol.

Pharmacology

The pharmacological actions of PiPT are not well-studied. As a tryptamine, it is presumed to act as a serotonin receptor agonist, similar to other psychedelic tryptamines. However, the specific receptor binding profile of PiPT is not known.

Effects

The effects of PiPT are not well-documented due to its rarity and the lack of scientific research into its use. Anecdotal reports suggest that it may produce effects similar to other psychedelic tryptamines, including altered perception, enhanced visual imagery, and introspective thought. However, these reports should be taken with caution due to the lack of controlled studies.

Legal Status

The legal status of PiPT varies by country. In some jurisdictions, it may be considered a controlled substance, while in others it may be legal to possess and use. Always check local laws before using or possessing any psychoactive substance.
