5-MeO-EiPT, also known as 5-methoxy-N-ethyl-N-isopropyltryptamine, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family which has been sold online as a designer drug. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

Use and effects

5-MeO-EiPT was not included or mentioned in Alexander Shulgin's book TiHKAL (Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved). [5] [6] When subsequently asked about 5-MeO-EiPT, Shulgin said that he never got around to making or exploring it and that its dose, duration, and effects were unknown. [6] In any case, 5-MeO-EiPT has been used as a novel recreational designer drug. [6] [4]

Interactions

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]

Chemistry

Analogues

Analogues of 5-MeO-EiPT include ethylisopropyltryptamine (EiPT), 4-HO-EiPT (eiprocin), 5-MeO-DMT, 5-MeO-DET, 5-MeO-DPT, 5-MeO-DiPT, 5-MeO-DALT, 5-MeO-MET, 5-MeO-MPT, 5-MeO-MiPT, 5-MeO-EPT, 5-MeO-PiPT, and 5-MeO-iPALT (ASR-3001), among others. [5]

History

5-MeO-EiPT was first described by Alexander Shulgin by 2002. [6]

Society and culture

5-MeO-EiPT is illegal in Japan. [7] 5-MeO-EiPT is illegal in Italy. [8] Sweden's public health agency suggested classifying 5-MeO-EiPT as a hazardous substance, on May 15, 2019. [9]

[Derek:] A company that sells chemical novelties has recently begun selling something that they call 5-methoxy-N-ethyl-N-isopropyltryptamine [(5-MeO-EiPT)]. I have searched the Internet, TIHKAL, and other literature for it. I can't find mention of it anywhere. Is it psychoactive? If so what are the effects and what's the dose range? [...] [Shulgin:] the N-ethyl is half-way between [5-MeO-MiPT and 5-MeO-DiPT] and I never did get around to making it. But apparently someone else did. My gut feeling would be to call it 5-MeO-EIPT. But as to predicting the active dosage range and its effects, I would be conservative and cautious.
