Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

5-MeO-EiPT acts as a potent full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. [3] It also shows high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor and interacts very weakly with the serotonin transporter (SERT). [3] The drug produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents. [3] However, it produces a rather weak head-twitch response, suggesting that it might have reduced hallucinogenic effects relative to other psychedelic tryptamines or might be non-hallucinogenic. [3] The serotonin 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635 augmented the head-twitch response induced by 5-MeO-EiPT in rodents. [3] The drug also produces hypothermia and hypolocomotion in rodents. [3]

Society and culture

5-MeO-EiPT is illegal in Japan. [4] 5-MeO-EiPT is illegal in Italy. [5] Sweden's public health agency suggested classifying 5-MeO-EiPT as a hazardous substance, on May 15, 2019. [6]
