pip-Tryptamine (pip-T), also known as N,N-pentamethylenetryptamine, N,N-piperidyltryptamine, or 3-(2-piperidinoethyl)indole, is a serotonin receptor modulator and possible serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine family. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] It is the derivative of tryptamine in which the amine has been cyclized into a piperidine ring. [1] [2] [3]

Its affinities (IC50 Tooltip half-maximal inhibitory concentration) for serotonin receptors were 600 nM for the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, 760 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, and 1,250 nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, whereas other serotonin receptors were not reported. [1] [3] The affinity of pip-T for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor was about 10-fold lower than that of dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and was about 7-fold lower than that of pyr-tryptamine (pyr-T; N,N-pyrrolidinyltryptamine). [3]

The drug produces hypolocomotion in rodents. [4] In addition, it induces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic effects, in rodents. [4] This was blocked by the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist ketanserin. [4] Hence, the drug may have hallucinogenic effects in humans. [4] Conversely, pip-T did not produce conditioned place preference (CPP) and was not self-administered, suggesting that it lacks reinforcing properties and misuse potential, similarly to most other tryptamines. [4]

Pip-T was first described in the scientific literature by 1959 [5] and was more thoroughly characterized in 1990 [1] [3] and 2020. [4]

A systematic study of the effect of N-alkylation on tryptamine receptor affinities was reported by McKenna et al. (1990). N-alkylated tryptamines were examined with no ring substituents, a 5-methoxy, or 4-hydroxy group. Highest affinities (4–30 nM) for displacement of [125I]DOI from rat cortical homogenate were observed with N,N-dimethyl, N,N-diethyl, N-methyl-N-isopropyl, and N,N-diisopropyl substituents. An affinity of 39 nM was reported for 4-OH-N,N-di(sec-butyl) tryptamine, but the affinity of 4-OH-N,N-diisobutyltryptamine was only 260 nM. Tethering the dialkyl groups into a heterocyclic ring gave mixed results; N-pyrrolidyl had an affinity similar to N,N-dimethyltryptamine (110 vs. 75 nM, respectively), but the affinity for the N-piperidyl was much lower, at 760 nM.

EXTENSIONS AND COMMENTARY: First of all, the name pyr-T, which is an abbreviation for "pyrrolidinyltryptamine," is out-and-out wrong. There is just one single nitrogen at the end of the tryptamine chain and it cannot be claimed by both halves of the name. It is intrinsic to the name pyrrolidine as well as to the name tryptamine. This is why the name is in quotation marks. This drug has occasionally been called PT in the popular literature, but choosing to spell it out as pyr-T allows a parallel code to be used with the piperidine and morpholine analogues. These two analogues are both described in the literature. The piperidine material (pip-T) is made via the glyoxylamide (mp 182-183 °C) which is reduced with LAH to the target amine (mp 149-150 °C, HC1 salt 220-221 °C). The morpholine analogue (mor-T) also came to be via the glyoxylamide (mp 187-188 °C) and the reduction to the amine which can be an oil, but which has been reported to have a mp 145- 147 °C. The only trials I know of with either of these is with mor-T which, as the fumarate salt, had no effects at all upon the i.m. injection of a 30 milligram bolus. Actually, this neat trilogy of heterocyclics, the pyrrolidine ring, the piperidine ring, and the morpholine ring, have been the chemist's favorite for many years. Leaf through the "Known Tryptamines" appendix, and see how often you see stretched between the nitrogen substituents the phrases: [...]

PMID   15664808. We were pleased to find that reaction of tryptamine (12) with the appropriate diol (16, 23 and 24) resulted in good conversion to the corresponding pyrrolidine 25, and piperidine 26, and in reasonable isolated yield into azepane 27 (Scheme 6).
