DOTFE, also known as 4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine, is a drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families. [1] [2] [3] It is a close analogue of known psychedelics like the DOx psychedelic DOTFM and the 2C psychedelics 2C-TFE and 2C-TFM. [1] [3] [2] The drug was predicted to bind to the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, with a predicted affinity (Ki) of 50 nM. [2] It was inactive in humans at doses of up to 3 mg, but higher doses were not assessed. [1] [3] DOTFE is expected to be a potent psychedelic at active doses. [1] It was first described in the scientific literature by at least 1999. [2] DOTFE was evaluated in humans by Daniel Trachsel, with these reports published in 2012 and 2013. [3] [1]
Das Fluoranalogon DOEF (77, 2–3.5mg, 12–16h) ist im Menschen rund doppelt so potent wie DOET (14, 2–6mg, 14–20h) und wirkt nur Unwesentlich kürzer [8]. Von DOEF (77), DOPF (78) und DOPF-2 (79) wurden zumindest die Affinitäten zu den 5-HT2-Rezeptoren bestimmt [54] (siehe Tabelle 2). Das Trifluoroethylderivat DOTFE (51) wurde von Trachsel et al. hergestellt (Synthese siehe Abb. 8) [37]. Seine Wirkung im Menschen ist bis anhin unbekannt (0.56mg und 3mg erwiesen sich als wirkungslos); es dürfte sich um eine potente Substanz handeln. Das Fluormethyl- oder Difiuormethyklerivat 80 [(DOFM)] und 81 [(DODFM)] wären weitere mögliche 5-HT2-Liganden.
In humans, 2C-TFE (56) proved to be a potent (5–15 mg) and long-lasting (12–24 h) psychedelic. The homolog DOTFE (57) turned out to be without effects in a single 0.56 mg trial. One might expect this to be a potent 5-HT2A receptor agonist with a potential for high human potency but further studies are needed.
