5-MeO-DALT, also known as N,N-diallyl-5-methoxytryptamine or as foxtrot, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine and 5-methoxytryptamine families. [1] [3] It was first synthesized and described by Alexander Shulgin, who disclosed the compound in 2004. [1] [4] The drug has been encountered as a novel designer and recreational drug. [4] [5]

Dosage and effects

According to Alexander Shulgin, the dosage of 5-MeO-DALT is 12 to 20 mg orally and its duration is 2 to 4 hours. [1] [6] A wider dose range of 12 to 25 mg has also been reported. [7] It is said to onset and peak remarkably quickly via the oral route, with an onset of less than 15 minutes and a peak of 30 minutes. [1] The effects of 5-MeO-DALT were reported by Shulgin to include positive emotional changes, lightheadedness, increased appreciation of music and sex, and closed-eye visuals. [1] There was said to be a lack of open-eye visuals and it was said to be relatively light in psychedelic character. [1]

Side effects and overdose

There is little published literature on the toxicity of 5-MeO-DALT. [8] Case reports of overdose have been published, with effects including loss of consciousness, visual hallucinations, acute delirium, and rhabdomyolysis, among others. [8] [9] [10] A death related to behavioral intoxication has been reported. [3]

The interactions of 5-MeO-DALT with various targets have been reported. [13] [14] [15] [19] [17] It binds to a variety of serotonin receptors, as well as a number of other targets. [13] [14] [15] [19] The drug is a potent full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. [15] [16] [18] [17] It is also an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors. [16]

Similarly to other psychedelics, 5-MeO-DALT produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic-like effects, in rodents. [7] [15] [14] The drug fully substitutes for the serotonergic psychedelic DOM in rodent drug discrimination tests. [20] Conversely, 5-MeO-DALT does not substitute for the entactogen MDMA in such tests. [20] 5-MeO-DALT produces dose-dependent hyperlocomotion in rodents, followed by hypolocomotion at the highest assessed dose. [20] [15] This is in contrast to many other psychedelic tryptamines, which tend to produce only hypolocomotion. [20] 5-MeO-DMT and 5-MeO-AMT are locomotor depressants, whereas 5-MeO-DET and 5-MeO-MiPT are mixed locomotor stimulants/depressants similarly to 5-MeO-DALT. [20] It also produces hypothermia. [15]

The head-twitch response induced by 5-MeO-DALT in rodents was found to be positively related to its serotonin 5-HT2A receptor affinity and negatively related to its serotonin 5-HT1A receptor affinity. [14] In relation to this, multiple targets appear to contribute to the effects of 5-MeO-DALT. [14] [5]

Pharmacokinetics

The metabolism and cytochrome P450 inhibition of 5-MeO-DALT has been described in scientific literature. [21] [22]

Chemistry

The full name of the chemical is N-allyl-N-[2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl] prop-2-en-1- amine. It is related to the compounds 5-MeO-DPT, DALT, 4-HO-DALT, and 4-AcO-DALT.

In April 2020, Chadeayne et al. solved the crystal structure of the freebase form of 5-MeO-DALT. [23]

History

The first material regarding the synthesis and effects of 5-MeO-DALT was sent from Alexander Shulgin to a research associate named Murple in May 2004, after which it was circulated online. In June 2004 5-MeO-DALT became available from internet research chemical vendors after being synthesized by commercial laboratories in China. In August 2004 the synthesis and effects of 5-MeO-DALT were published by Erowid. [4] Shulgin has stated that 5-MeO-DALT had not previously existed in the scientific literature. [1] 5-MeO-DALT was not included in the original published version of TiHKAL , but an entry for the compound was subsequently written and released in 2004. [4]

China

As of October 2015 5-MeO-DALT is a controlled substance in China. [24]

Japan

5-MeO-DALT became a controlled substance in Japan from April 2007, by amendment to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. [25]

United Kingdom

5-MeO-DALT became a Class A drug in the UK on January 7, 2015 after an update to the tryptamine blanket ban.

Singapore

5-MeO-DALT is listed in the Fifth Schedule of the Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) and therefore illegal in Singapore as of May 2015. [26]

Sweden

Sveriges riksdag added 5-MeO-DALT to schedule I ("substances, plant materials and fungi which normally do not have medical use") as narcotics in Sweden as of May 1, 2012, published by Medical Products Agency in their regulation LVFS 2012:6 listed as 5-MeO-DALT N-allyl-N-[2-(5-metoxi-1H-indol-3-yl)etyl]-prop-2-en-1-amin. [27]

United States

5-MeO-DALT is not scheduled at the federal level in the United States, [28] but it is likely that it could be considered an analog of 5-Meo-DiPT, which is a controlled substance in USA, or an analog of another tryptamine, in which case purchase, sale, or possession could be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act.

Florida

5-MeO-DALT is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Florida. [29]

Louisiana

5-MeO-DALT is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Louisiana making it illegal to buy, sell, or possess in Louisiana. [30]

Research

Cluster headache

Anecdotal reports [31] and a small-scale trial [32] indicate the potential of 5-MeO-DALT for the treatment of cluster headache, one of the most excruciating conditions known to medicine. [33] These observations are consistent with evidence of efficacy of other chemically-related indoleamines in the treatment of cluster headache. [34]

The N,N-disubstituted compound 5-methoxy-N,N-diallyltryptamine (5-MeO-DALT 18) has recently appeared as a new "legal high" on the illicit market (Corkery et al. 2012; Strano Rossi et al. 2014). Results from broad-based receptor screening led Cozzi and Daley (2016) to conclude that multiple serotonin receptors, as well as several non-serotonergic sites are important for the psychoactive effects of 18 and other N,N-diallyltryptamines.
