5-Chloro-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-chloro-DMT) is a tryptamine derivative related to compounds such as 5-bromo-DMT and 5-fluoro-DMT. It acts as a serotonin receptor agonist and has primarily sedative effects in animal studies. [1] [2] [3] It is known to have affinity for and to act as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. [4] [5] The compound has been sold as a designer drug. [6]
