  • 4-HO-MPT binds 5-HT2A with Ki = 114 nM, placing it in the moderate-affinity range for the classsupported

    Determined receptor binding profiles of various tryptamine-based psychedelics related to psilocybin. Includes 4-HO-MPT. acsptsci.2c00222

  • The psychedelic effects of 4-HO-MPT are attributed to agonism at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in the cerebral cortex, consistent with the established mechanism for the 4-hydroxytryptamine classsupported

    4-acetoxy and 4-hydroxy compounds showed similar pharmacological effects. Tertiary amines induced HTR; secondary amines did not. acsptsci.2c00177

  • The psychedelic effects of 4-HO-MPT are attributed to agonism at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors in the cerebral cortex, consistent with the established mechanism for the 4-hydroxytryptamine classsupported

    All novel tryptamines were partial or full 5-HT2A agonists. j.euroneuro.2016.05.001

  • At higher doses, 5-HT1A receptor activation (Ki = 106 nM) may produce sedation and hypothermic effects, as demonstrated for structurally similar tryptaminessupported

    Results suggest role for 5-HT1A in tryptamine effects. pmid:11101361

  • By structural analogy with the 4-hydroxytryptamine class — where tertiary N,N-dialkyl substitution consistently produces partial or full 5-HT2A agonism — 4-HO-MPT is expected to behave as a partial to full agonist at this receptorsupported

    Tertiary amines induced HTR; secondary amines did not. acsptsci.2c00177

  • By structural analogy with the 4-hydroxytryptamine class — where tertiary N,N-dialkyl substitution consistently produces partial or full 5-HT2A agonism — 4-HO-MPT is expected to behave as a partial to full agonist at this receptorsupported

    All novel tryptamines were partial or full 5-HT2A agonists. j.euroneuro.2016.05.001

  • SERT affinity is low (Ki = 910 nM), indicating 4-HO-MPT is a cleaner receptor agonist without the serotonin-releasing properties of empathogenic tryptaminessupported

    Determined receptor binding profiles of various tryptamine-based psychedelics related to psilocybin. Includes 4-HO-MPT. acsptsci.2c00222

  • Claim in pharmacology — inconclusiveinconclusiveworking →

  • This metabolic pattern mirrors that of the structural analogue 4-HO-MET.supported

    Glucuronides and N-oxide recommended as forensic targets. j.forsciint.2018.06.037

  • Claim in pharmacology — inconclusiveinconclusiveworking →

  • By structural analogy with 4-HO-MET, CYP2D6 and/or CYP3A4 likely mediate the N-dealkylation and N-oxidation reactions. Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) is expected to contribute to oxidative deamination, as established for the tryptamine class generally.supported

    DMT is metabolized primarily by MAO; rapid elimination; PK supports short duration of action of parenterally-administered tryptamines. s13318-023-00822-y

  • {{Warning}}4-HO-MPT exhibits exceptionally potent 5-HT2B receptor affinity (Ki = 8 nM) — the highest-affinity target across all receptors tested and approximately 14-fold more potent than at the primary psychedelic target 5-HT2Asupported

    Determined receptor binding profiles of various tryptamine-based psychedelics related to psilocybin. Includes 4-HO-MPT. acsptsci.2c00222

  • Class-level acute risks for 4-hydroxytryptamines include serotonin toxicity (particularly in combination with serotonergic drugs), sympathomimetic cardiovascular effects (tachycardia, hypertension), and hyperthermia at very high doses.supported

    Comprehensive review of NPS tryptamines including structure, pharmacology, recreational use, toxicology, analytical methods, and case reports of death. 1570159x13666141210222409

  • HPPD (Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder) — case reports exist for psilocin (the direct structural parent) and other serotonergic psychedelics. Class-level risk applies to 4-HO-MPT.supported

  • Radioligand binding data reveal a distinctive receptor profile: 5-HT2A Ki = 114 nM (primary psychedelic target), but the highest-affinity interaction is at 5-HT2B (Ki = 8 nM) — approximately 14-fold greater than at 5-HT2Asupported
