Bufoviridine, also known as bufotenine O-sulfate, dihydrobufothionine, or 5-sulfooxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-sulfooxy-DMT or 5-SO-DMT), is a naturally occurring tryptamine found in Bufo species such as Bufo viridis and Bufo calamita . [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] It is the O-sulfate ester of bufotenin (5-HO-DMT). [1] [3] The compound shows very weak serotonergic activity. [7] Bufoviridine is not known to have been evaluated in humans, but is suggested to be inactive based on animal studies. [1] The 4-O-acetate, 4-O-phosphate, and 4-O-benzoate esters of psilocin (4-HO-DMT) are all active, but the 4-O-sulfate ester is inactive, suggesting that bufoviridine may be inactive as well. [1] It was first described in the 1950s. [2]
