MALT (N-methyl-N-allyltryptamine or N,N-methylallyltryptamine) is a lesser-known drug from the tryptamine family. It is a novel compound with very little history of human use. It is closely related to methylpropyltryptamine (MPT), as well as N-methyltryptamine. It has been sold online as a designer drug. Very little information on the pharmacology or toxicity of MALT is available.

Legality

MALT is not explicitly scheduled in any countries; however, it could be considered a psychoactive substance under the UK Psychoactive Substances Act, which requires the prosecutor to prove that the substance is psychoactive in order for a person to be charged with an offense. [1]

It could also be considered a structural analog of a scheduled substance under the US Federal Analogue Act due to its similarity to scheduled tryptamines.

α-Methyltryptamine Chemical compound

α-Methyltryptamine is a psychedelic, stimulant, and entactogen drug of the tryptamine family. It was originally developed as an antidepressant at Upjohn in the 1960s, and was used briefly as an antidepressant in the Soviet Union under the brand name Indopan or Indopane before being discontinued.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dipropyltryptamine</span> Chemical compound

N,N-Dipropyltryptamine (DPT) is a psychedelic entheogen belonging to the tryptamine family. Use as a designer drug has been documented by law enforcement officials since as early as 1968. However, potential therapeutic use was not investigated until the 1970s. It is found either as a crystalline hydrochloride salt or as an oily or crystalline base. It has not been found to occur endogenously. It is a close structural homologue of dimethyltryptamine and diethyltryptamine.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">5-MeO-DMT</span> Chemical compound

5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine), also known as O-methylbufotenin or mebufotenin, is a naturally occurring psychedelic of the tryptamine family. It is found in a wide variety of plant species, and is also secreted by the glands of at least one toad species, the Colorado River toad. It may occur naturally in humans as well. Like its close relatives dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and bufotenin (5-HO-DMT), it has been used as an entheogen in South America. Slang terms include five-methoxy, the power, bufo, and toad venom.

5-MeO-αMT, or 5-methoxy-α-methyltryptamine, also known as α,O-dimethylserotonin (Alpha-O), is a serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine family. It is a derivative of α-methyltryptamine (αMT) and an analogue of 5-MeO-DMT.

A designer drug is a structural or functional analog of a controlled substance that has been designed to mimic the pharmacological effects of the original drug, while avoiding classification as illegal and/or detection in standard drug tests. Designer drugs include psychoactive substances that have been designated by the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand, as new psychoactive substances (NPS) as well as analogs of performance-enhancing drugs such as designer steroids.

4-Acetoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, also known as O-acetylpsilocin or psilacetin, is a psychedelic drug of the tryptamine family related to psilocybin and psilocin. It is a synthetic derivative of psilocin (4-HO-DMT) in which the hydroxyl group has been acetylated, and is the analogue of psilocybin (4-PO-DMT) in which the phosphate ester has been replaced with an acetate ester. The drug is a prodrug of psilocin and is orally active similarly to psilocybin.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">4-HO-MET</span> Chemical compound

4-HO-MET is a lesser-known psychedelic drug. It is a structural and functional analog of psilocin as well as the 4-hydroxyl analog of methylethyltryptamine (MET). 4-HO-MET was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. In his book TiHKAL, the dosage is listed as 10-20 mg. 4-HO-MET produces psilocin-like distortion of color, sound, and form. Very little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 4-HO-MET. There have been no reports of deaths from 4-HO-MET, even though there exist anecdotal reports of the ingestion of up to 150 mg, more than an order of magnitude above the effective dose.
