    Microdosing psychedelics risks cardiac fibrosis/valvulopathy via 5-HT2B. 02698811231225609

  • This occurred in parallel with increased 5-HT₂A mRNA in the prefrontal cortex — a compensatory transcriptional upregulation consistent with receptor-level desensitization.supported

    5-MeO-AMT increased 5-HTR2a mRNA and PKC-γ phosphorylation in PFC. j.bbr.2018.07.020

  • De la Fuente Revenga et al. (2022) demonstrated that repeated administration of 5-HT₂A agonists decreases 5-HT₂A receptor density in the frontal cortex, providing the mechanistic basis for tolerance across the psychedelic classsupported

    tolerance develops via 5-HT2AR downregulation in frontal cortex. acschemneuro.2c00170

  • Cross-tolerance with other 5-HT₂A-mediated psychedelics (lsd, psilocybin, mescaline) is expected based on this shared mechanism.supported

    Cross-tolerance between psychedelics (DOI, LSD) but not between psychedelic and non-psychedelic 5-HT2A agonists. acschemneuro.2c00170

  • Rodent models found no conditioned place preference and no self-administration, indicating low reinforcement potentialsupported

    No locomotor sensitization, CPP, or self-administration — suggesting low abuse liability. j.bbr.2018.07.020

  • Co-administration with SSRIs or SNRIs raises serotonin syndrome risk through additive serotonergic activitysupported

  • Claim in pharmacology — inconclusiveinconclusiveworking →

  • 5-MeO-AMT operates through a dual mechanism: high-potency 5-HT₂A receptor agonism mediating its psychedelic effects, and broad-spectrum monoamine transporter activity (reuptake inhibition and release of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine) contributing stimulant and entactogen-adjacent properties.supported

    5-MeO-AMT strongly inhibited reuptake and increased release of all three monoamines (DA, 5-HT, NE) in rat brain synaptosomes. pmid:17223101

  • The psychedelic component is 5-HT₂A–dependent. 5-MeO-AMT elicits dose-dependent head-twitch responses (HTR) in mice at 0.3–10 mg/kg, and this response is fully abolished by the selective 5-HT₂A antagonist ketanserinsupported

    5-MeO-AMT (0.3–10 mg/kg) induced HTR in mice; repeated dosing produced tolerance. Ketanserin (5-HT2A antagonist) blocked HTR. j.bbr.2018.07.020

  • Claim in pharmacology — inconclusiveinconclusiveworking →

  • Claim in pharmacology — inconclusiveinconclusiveworking →

  • Repeated administration (7 days) produces tolerance to HTR with concurrent upregulation of 5-HT₂A mRNA, suggesting compensatory transcriptional changes during receptor desensitization.supported

    repeated dosing produced tolerance. Ketanserin (5-HT2A antagonist) blocked HTR. 5-MeO-AMT increased 5-HTR2a mRNA and PKC-γ phosphorylation in PFC. j.bbr.2018.07.020

  • Nagai et al. (2007) demonstrated that 5-MeO-AMT strongly inhibits reuptake and induces release of all three monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) from rat brain synaptosomes — a mixed inhibitor/releaser profile qualitatively similar to amt but distinct from other 5-methoxytryptamines that only inhibit reuptake without causing releasesupported

    5-MeO-AMT strongly inhibited reuptake and increased release of all three monoamines (DA, 5-HT, NE) in rat brain synaptosomes. Qualitatively similar to AMT but differentiated from other methoxytryptamines. pmid:17223101

  • In drug discrimination assays, 5-MeO-AMT produced 67% LSD-appropriate responding but did not fully substitute for DMT, DOM, LSD, cocaine, or methamphetamine, and showed only low-potency dopamine uptake blockade and low serotonin release relative to MDMA-class entactogens.partially supported

    5-MeO-AMT produced 67% LSD-appropriate responding. Low serotonin release, low-potency DAT blockade. Did not substitute for cocaine or methamphetamine. jpet.111.179705
